Paletas from La Cantina de San Angel located in the Mexico Pavilion at Epcot
For those of you not familiar with paletas, they are traditional Latin American popsicles. The ones located at La Cantina are water-based and made with fresh fruit. You can choose from cantaloupe, coconut, lemon and mango with chili. I have tried all four of them but will be talking about the coconut one today. If you are looking for a refreshing tasty treat, this is it. The coconut paleta was full of flavor and topped with coconut flakes but once you got towards the end it was full of chunks of coconut. A real treat! This is perfect on a really hot Florida day when you are looking for something to cool down that is sweet, tasty and refreshing.
Paletas cost $3.95 and you can use one Disney Dining Plan snack credit on them.
Tip: If you decide to use your Disney Dining Plan counter service credit here ask them to hold your paleta until you finish your meal. They are more than happy to do so. The cast member will stamp it and when you come back to get it, they’ll make a little mark so they know you’ve picked it up.
Munchies on the Go at Walt Disney World
I love the snacks at Walt Disney World. Dole Whips, Butterfinger Cupcakes, there are to many to name. As I write this article I am munching on Sesame Honey Cashews from Trader Joes..Yum!
If you purchased the Disney Deluxe Dining Plan then you have more than enough food to last a lifetime. But with Disney Free Dining deals a plenty you might need a little snack to munch on between your meals.
Besides cashews and other varieties of nuts, my family and I love fruit,Welchs Fruit Snacks, and 100 Calories Packs of Cookies and Various Snacks. We have them in our backpacks, cars, diaper bags you name it..The 100 Calorie Snacks are perfect on the go and take up very little space.
I put out the word to our Facebook friends for some munchie ideas and here is what you guys said.
- Karen P – rice crispy treats and granola bars
- Cheryl F – granola bars, fruit snack, (this year) buddy fruits – real fruit in a little drink bag.
- D.K. P - Trail mix a little nuts for protein and a little sugar for a kick of energy.
- Michelle L – graham cracker sticks, baby carrots, granola bars, fresh fruit, trail mix, cereal necklaces for the kiddies (fruit cheerios strung up with dental floss)
- Jessica S – Wheat thins, sometimes cookies
- Christopher S - not a snack necessarily, but we bring our own water. Michelle, you aren’t fooling anyone with the dental floss necklace. my kids would boycott it on principle
- Melanie N - I ship a box of capri suns, waters zip lock bags and snacks to the resort before hand. We bring the drinks and snacks such as special k cereal bars, fruit snacks and chex mix. Quick snacks while waiting in line.
