Disney has a habit of surprising guests, especially when it comes to snacks. Sometimes it’s a fun, over-the-top dessert. Other times… It’s a little more questionable. Recently, something changed with one of Disney World’s most beloved snacks—longtime fans are doing a double take. You might want to brace yourself before grabbing your next churro.Fan-Favorite Snacks Worth CelebratingLet’s be honest—the snacks are legendary when Disney gets it right. From sweet to savory, there’s no shortage of fan-favorites across the parks:Churro Milkshake at EPCOT: Over-the-top in the best way, this shake from Sunshine Seasons comes loaded with whipped cream, a mini doughnut, a Mickey ice cream bar, and a churro to top it all off.S’mores Churro at Blizzard Beach: This one’s a sugar lover’s dream—chunks of churro topped with gooey marshmallow cream, chocolate drizzle, and toasted marshmallows.Churro Family Platter at Animal Kingdom: A giant tray of bite-sized churros with sprinkles and dipping sauces. It’s perfect for sharing—or not.These types of snacks keep guests coming back. They’re fun, flavorful, and photo-worthy.

And lately, the variety has exploded:Casey’s Corner still dishes out loaded hot dogs and that cinnamon roll that’s the size of your face.Connections Eatery at EPCOT has added sweet treats like the Baumkuchen cake that almost looks too pretty to eat.Sunshine Seasons continues to surprise guests with rotating seasonal offerings and colorful desserts.Whether you want something quick and sweet or a meal you’ll talk about for days, Disney’s food game continues to expand—but not every experiment is a home run.Credit: DisneyThe Churro LetdownHere’s where things take a strange turn. Over at Hollywood Studios, Disney rolled out a new version of the churro… and let’s just say it’s not what anyone expected. The snack in question? Bouncin’ Mini Churros topped with Coca-Cola and bourbon candied bacon, sriracha aïoli, and scallions.Yes, you read that right.Instead of the classic warm, cinnamon sugar treat we all know and love, Disney delivered a savory spin that has guests scratching their heads. The combo of soda glaze, spicy mayo, and green onions on churros is, at best, an acquired taste—and for most Disney fans, it’s a hard pass. It’s the kind of bold twist that might work on a hot dog or maybe wings… but churros? That’s a risky move.Credit: DisneySometimes Simple is BetterDisney’s been known to take creative swings, especially with food—but not every pitch is a home run. The churro didn’t need saving. It didn’t need bacon, sriracha, or soda. It just needed to stay the sweet, crunchy, nostalgic snack that fans have loved for years.
