New Churro and DOLE Whip Snacks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Disney’s Animal Kingdom has added two new snack options to its menus following a resort-wide culinary competition known as the "Churro-lympics." This event challenged chefs to reinvent the classic Disney churro, resulting in two gold-medal-winning creations that are now available for guests to purchase.

What's new

Two distinct churro-based items have been added to the park’s food and beverage lineup:

* Churro-misu Cold Brew: This drink uses Joffrey’s Cold Brew Coffee as a base. It is sweetened and topped with mascarpone cream and a dusting of cocoa powder to mimic the flavors of tiramisu. The beverage is served with a crunchy churro.

* DOLE Whip Pineapple and Chili-Lime and Churro Sundae: This treat combines two popular snacks. It features pineapple-flavored DOLE Whip layered with pineapple that has been marinated in chili-lime. It is served with a warm cinnamon churro to provide a balance of sweet, spicy, and tart flavors.

When and where

Both items are currently available at specific locations within Disney’s Animal Kingdom:

* The Churro-misu Cold Brew can be found at Isle of Java.

* The DOLE Whip Pineapple and Chili-Lime and Churro Sundae is located at Warung Outpost, which is situated near the Feathered Friends in Flight! stage.

What it means for your visit

If you are planning a trip to Animal Kingdom, these items offer new ways to manage your park day timing:

* Morning Caffeine: Since Isle of Java is a frequent stop for guests entering the park at rope drop, the Churro-misu Cold Brew serves as a breakfast-adjacent option that combines coffee with a snack.

* Mid-Day Refreshment: The DOLE Whip sundae at Warung Outpost is located near the Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail and Maharajah Jungle Trek. It is a practical choice for a cooling snack after walking the animal trails during the warmer parts of the afternoon.

* Unique Flavors: These items are specific to Animal Kingdom’s culinary theme of global discovery. If you are looking for standard churros, be aware that these locations are serving these specific "Churro-lympic" versions which include additional toppings and flavors.
