There are three different price points for these delicious churros. Unlike the ones sold at the theme parks these are extra big and served fresh. There are even several different flavors to choose from. You can even choose from dipping sauces.

We ended up trying the Peach Mango per the Cast Member’s recommendation and it was really delicious! It was rolled into the flavor dust right in front of you. The flavor combination suited the churros so well. Also unlike ones we tried at the parks this churros was soft and didn’t seem dry at all.

Sunshine Churro is definitely one of my new favorite stops while visiting Disney Springs. I can’t wait to eventually try all flavor combinations. There’s also great news if you’re visiting with a Disney Dining Plan because they are snack credit eligible.

Make sure to check them out next time you visit Disney Springs. It’s the perfect snack to walk around and shop. And with over 9 flavors there seems to be something for everyone.
