A pre-Colombian
pyramid surrounded by lush landscaping
fashioned after a Yucatan jungle is your first introduction
to the Mexican pavilion. As you enter
the Plaza de Los Amigos, you first notice the darkened interior. It's always twilight in Mexico, the perfect backdrop for the smoking volcano and the grand Mayan pyramid
in the background. There are colorful carts and shops offering Mexican
jewelry, Kahlua, pottery, clothing and leather goods. There's often a strolling
mariachi band making this visit an authentic taste of Mexico.
Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros
This new attraction replaces "El Rio Del Tiempo." It's described as featuring Donald Duck, Jose Carioca and Panchito from Disney's 1944 animated film "The Three Caballeros."
The storyline has Donald disappearing enroute to the Three Caballeros performance in Mexico City. His friends Jose and Panchito go off in search of their missing pal.
In addition to the new characters, guests will see new backdrops and props while enjoying a new sound system. Photos
Regional Mexican dishes featuring beef,
chicken and seafood served in traditional Mexican
sauces and spices are served for both lunch and
dinner at the San
Angel Inn Restaurant. In accordance
with the twilight scene of the plaza, the restaurant
that overlooks the plaza and the boat ride is
very dark and romantic with lanterns on the tables
providing the light.
For
lighter fare, the Cantina
de San Angel, outside across
the pathway serves such Mexican favorites as tacos,
churros, tostados, Mexican beer and margaritas
in the outdoor café.
Guests may walk through the "Art of Mexico"
to view the many authentic artifacts and national
treasures of their homeland. The Plaza de Los Amigos
offers some authentic Mexican souvenirs and treasures.
In the Artesanias La Familia Fashions you'll find
casual Mexican styled clothing and jewelry for women
and children. Souvenirs and gifts from Northern
Mexico are found in El Ranchito del Norte. Vendor's
carts offer home décor gifts, silver
jewelry and other Mexican souvenirs such as sombreros,
piñatas, pottery and worry dolls. All areas of
Mexico are wheelchair accessible.
TIPS: Donald
Duck, clad in the traditional Mexican sombrero and
serape, can often be seen here signing autographs.
Donald is not often seen in the parks, and is usually
easily accessible when signing autographs in Mexico.
