Although, there is a place across the street from WDW called Jungle Jim's (in the Crossroads shopping center) that does a pretty decent job of it. They even have one on the kid's menu that is made with PB&J instead of meat and cheese. Still if I can't have it served with a mint julep and have some BB doubloons afterwards, it can NEVER be the same.

When I finally saw what they served I just laughed. Not even close. And the mint julep and chocolate doubloons are a must for me too. I have never asked for mine squeezed but my daughter and I squeeze our own to get rid of some of the grease.

Originally Posted By RAM1984 It does sound funny but we just squeeze it between a couple of paper towels and lose at least 100 calories of fat and they bounce back pretty well. As I said, I have never ordered one "squeezed" so do not know how they look.

Originally Posted By knoxvelour I wonder, what do they do with all the Cristo squeezin's? I would totally buy a glass of that! Dip my churro in it mmmmmmmm!!!
Originally Posted By LVCajun <<I wonder, what do they do with all the Cristo squeezin's?>> My guess would be they use it to grease all the rides. Maybe they could refine it and we wouldn't rely so much on foriegn oil...wait a minute why am I saying all this...I love the Monte Cristo.
Originally Posted By mickey42397 It is more likely that they just throw away the paper towel that they squeezed it with. Disney isn't that great about recycling. That is one thing I don't mind having thrown away though. We wouldn't exactly want to feed it to starving children in Africa now would we ?
