I don't think we have a general treats thread, so I'm starting one for this. I'd read about the mangonada a little while ago, and having recently been turned on to the wonders of tajin, and having been a mango lover for some time, I really wanted to try this. Oh my goodness. So tasty. (https://twitter.com/cstephens2/status/919441945751113728) You get two scoops of mango sorbet (and while some sorbet doesn't taste enough like the fruit it's supposed to be made with, this was definitely very mango-y), and there are also cubes of mango, as well as chamoy sauce (https://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/mexican-chamoy-hot-sauce-fruit-mango-spicy-article) (which I didn't find to be spicy really but very tasty), tajin (http://www.tajin.com/products) and lime juice. Some of the mango cubes were actually still a little frozen, so it was a bit difficult to bite through them, but they were still really good.

This isn't a regular item on the menu, so I don't know how long it's around for. I also don't know if they normally have mango sorbet but even without all the other ingredients, I'd still order just the mango sorbet because it's that good.

Oh, I forgot to say, this is at Clarabelle's, on Buena Vista Street next to Starbucks, at DCA.

I wish I would have found this on our trip. I kept buying the mango slices with the tajic seasoning and limes from the fruit carts, well that and the pineapple spear. I was just telling a coworker that the food at Disney this time seemed better than other trips. I feel like there was more of a choice from chicken strips and burgers than ever before.
