Disney Springs has seen so many closures in 2026. First, we said goodbye to Sprinkles Cupcakes, then came Francesca’s, Shore, and Johnston & Murphy. Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill was just added to the lineup, and now we have ANOTHER closure to add to the list.
We’re regulars at Sunshine Churros, a churro cart with two locations in Disney Springs. But it’s time to say goodbye to these unique churros, because the Disney Springs locations are permanently closing soon!
We stopped by Sunshine Churros for a snack, and a Cast Member told us that today, September 5th, 2026, is the final day of operation for both Disney Springs locations!
Sunshine Churros is known for churros with a unique twist. Instead of churros with a traditional cinnamon sugar topping, these desserts are topped with Pop Rocks, Dubai chocolate, and other fun flavor combinations. We’re going to miss their rotating Churro of the Month!
The Cast Member told us that they’re not sure what will replace the churro carts, and Disney hasn’t announced anything yet. Sunshine Churros is owned by the same company as Blue Ribbon Corn Dogs on the BoardWalk, so Sunshine Churros Cast Members will transfer there.
If you want your churro fix after the closure, there aren’t many unique churro varieties in Disney World, but you still have some options we’d recommend. The Mission Space Cart in EPCOT and Eight Spoon Cafe in Animal Kingdom both offer these Family Churros, a massive platter of 21 bite-sized churros served with sprinkles, chocolate, and caramel dipping sauces.
Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom offers churros with vanilla crema and coffee-flavored dipping sauces for a fun twist.
If you’ve tried both, Disney just announced a new Churro Overdrive, which includes cookies-and-cream mini churros topped with blue sugar and marshmallow. This will be available at Energy Bytes in Magic Kingdom.
You can always get a regular Disney churro at tons of locations across Disney World parks and resorts, but these are almost always plain cinnamon sugar served with chocolate syrup.
But you’ll need a park ticket for most of these alternatives, since Sunshine Churros is the only Disney Springs spot that serves churros! We’re hoping Disney Springs will get some churros after the Sunshine Churros closure, but Disney hasn’t announced anything yet. Stay tuned to Disney Food Blog for more Disney World restaurant news!
