Question: Does anyone know the history of the Disneyland churro? What was Walts reason for wanting to sell churros?....besides the fact that they super yummy. Sadly, if I were to eat one right now I would probably end up in the ER ='(

DL churros = WAKATELA!!!! 😝 - MozPrincess  577.4 #189 12:03AM
better let em know about Abuelita's! - toph  2398.3 #25 12:04AM
Abuelitas hot chocolate? I love that hot chocolate. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 12:17AM
Moz's Abuelita makes the best churros😂 - toph  2398.3 #25 12:32AM
Lol DL churros are the best that I can get around these parts. The best I've ever had were the ones in Madrid. Churros con chocolate....yummy ☺ - Principessa  294.5 #641 12:34AM
Moz abuelita? are you talking about a place or the churro mix you can buy to make at home?... - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 12:56AM
My grandma makes churros from scratch and they are so YUMMY!!! When I go to meetups she usually sends me with a box!!! - MozPrincess  577.4 #189 8:00AM
Abuelita Conchita FTW - iFramedRogerRabbit  1956.2 #36 11:57AM
We just need champurrado. - sarahpie  275.3 #773 12:36AM
I love champurrado!! - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 12:56AM
I have no idea what/who a champurrado is but it sounds like a chimichanga and now I'm hungry. Thanks. lol:) - Syrena  7.7 #7758 1:10AM
Champurrado is a thick creamy hot chocolate made with masa, piloncillo (Mexican brown sugar) and cinnamon. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 1:13AM
Syrena, just think of it as a nice, thick, creamy hot chocolate with cinnamon. SO good with breakfast foods or tamales! - sarahpie  275.3 #773 1:14AM
holly jolly has Abuelita. Sadly it taste just like the regular hot chocolate with some cinnamon added to it :( - ninodj  198.2 #1653 9:20AM
I just ate but now I want champurrado with tAmales.  - MsDisneyLove  168.2 #2028 12:09PM
I have never had it and never will because of the cha-mmm-pooooo-rrrraaaaaaaa-dddddooooo lady every freaking. Morning@ 7:29 and 8:29 yelling at the top of her lungs. - maxinerenton  415.1 #311 12:13PM
Lol @maxine I actually miss that! Where I live now, we don't have anyone who does that. - sarahpie  275.3 #773 12:35PM
That would be awesome!!! - MozPrincess  577.4 #189 9:03PM
Your bunny profile pic makes me want to cry. Is that a sad little bunny?? - Sweet_Irish_Cream  2531.8 #23 10:34PM
My little dog sometimes covers his eyes like he's embarrassed. Poor bunny! - bluefairy  627.0 #174 10:40PM
I don't know about this bunny but my parent's bunnies do that when they did a Non-No. Like use the fireplace as their litter box. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 10:44PM
I love your profile pic too. What a cute baby bunny. - BlackCanary86  40.3 #3983 12:06PM
Here is my take on Churros. DL needed something sweet and portable. Ice cream too messy and doughnuts get sticky fingers and It's super easy just warm em up toss some cinnamon sugar on them and sell for 350. I'm such a sucker for them too. That and the popcorn - angy17  164.8 #2087 10:58PM
That would make complete sense good thinking! - akeleh  293.5 #653 11:12PM
I agree...but was it Walts idea? - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 11:21PM
No. - SorcererBHhaha  408.5 #318 12:02AM
I seriously doubt it... Seems like a newer favorite - SteamboatMinnie  309.8 #560 12:04AM
from the FB Disneyland Churro page, (yes, Disney Churros have their own FB page), Disneyland churros were first introduced at the Disneyland Magic Kingdom theme park in the summer of 1985 on a small cart in front of Videopolis (now known as the Fantasyland Theater). They were sold along with pretzels. - littleoysterz  210.4 #1483 1:17AM
Oh videopolis...where my older sister would fall in love with boys from around the country and cry for them when they never wrote or call... - supertracy  435.6 #285 7:45AM
Great history info - Tealtownfan  692.5 #143 8:15AM
Ooh an fb churro page. - happiestplace  44.0 #3880 9:32AM
Did HMACIF create this page on fb?? Lol... - yvetteissogoofy  162.1 #2125 11:55AM
I dunno history... but why do they make you so sick? - PinkElephants  634.1 #170 10:38PM
Pregnancy, bead eating habits, rapid weight loss and then another pregnancy resulted with me getting gall stones. =/ Whenever my gallbladder gets inflamed I can't eat anything spicy or fried. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 10:46PM
That is no bueno!! Churros are a must have. - PinkElephants  634.1 #170 10:49PM
Exactly! Ugh. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 10:56PM
Get your gall bladder removed, super easy surgery and I've never had problems since! - KelBelle  452.8 #271 11:10PM
I'm so freaked out ='( - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 11:19PM
KelBell how long was your recovery time? - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 11:20PM
I had mine out on a Friday and was back to school on Tuesday, it's really not too bad - KelBelle  452.8 #271 11:20PM
Still sore after that but I was able to do stuff pretty quickly! - KelBelle  452.8 #271 11:21PM
Hmmmm I'm going to look into it. My friend had hers out and spent 2 weeks in bed. Then it got infected and so in...yeah she freaked me out. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 11:24PM
Yeah mine was done laproscopically (sp?) so it was outpatient, but if they have to open you up for some reason the recovery is worse.. But it's a small chance of that - KelBelle  452.8 #271 11:26PM
I get mine out on the 22nd. I'll let you know how it goes. Don't suffer too long! It can become a life threatening situation if your gall bladder gets infected. The doctor took one look at mine and didn't give me a choice. - Disneycrazymom  99.5 #3036 11:43PM
I'm going to make an appoiment like asap then. Last time I went I had the choice of just eating healthy or surgery. If I do need surgery it needs to be done before DL high season starts. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 11:47PM
Disneycrazymom keep me updated. Right now the pain killer is finally kicking in. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 11:49PM
I feel your pain @Uncool_me I had gallstones my whole pregnancy not the best thing was in the hospital all the time! i got it removed 2 months later. I was out of the hospital same day of surgery and was up and fine 2 days later it was super easy 4 little cuts on the stomach is all it took . Im not gonna lie, I was that 1% that ends up with gallstone on the bile-duck so i had to go back for a second procedure a week later but was still super easy and 2nd time was done with a tube no cuts! I say get it removed besides leaving it in can really hurt you and can cause problems later. - Jackie211  472.2 #255 12:13AM
I meant I got it removed 2 months after I gave birth. - Jackie211  472.2 #255 12:15AM
Ohh wow. I'm going to educate myself on the gallbladder removel procedure. Thank you all so much for your imput. Btw 2 months after labor!! Wow you're a strong woman little buddy :) - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 12:54AM
Meds* - Jackie211  472.2 #255 1:14AM
Two years ago we went to DL and were doing a 37th Anniversary for my wife and I and the rest of the family. I had been feeling really bad as in stomach problems. Checked into DL Hotel for 3 days. Went in the parks for a few hours. Needed to eat as I hadn't all day so only thing that sounded good was Clam Chowder. Big mistake. Went to my old Doctor in Orange and they admitted me in for emergency Gall Bladder removal the next morning. Everybody had a great ime at DL and the hotel but me. Recovery wasn't bad, but the trip back to Palm Springs was awful. No rich or creamy foods when you have gall bladder issues. - splashphotoCM  880.9 #101 12:27PM
The more important question is:  Why can't I find a quality turkey leg anywhere else I go?  Disneylands is at least a buck cheaper and always A-MAZING!! - TheBudd  357.3 #396 10:40PM
Ewwwwww!!! - PinkElephants  634.1 #170 10:44PM
What is wrong with you people? Nobody on MW likes the turkey legs? It's like a crazy melding of smoked ham and bbq turkey! It's a meat-eaters paradise! - TheBudd  357.3 #396 10:46PM
I was told they are good but to get the really burned ones. I haven't had one yet...maybe one day. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 10:48PM
Just the smell of the makes me wanna hurl - PinkElephants  634.1 #170 10:50PM
for the last time, that is NOT turkey - missgoofy  367.8 #376 10:51PM
I've never had a burned one. Got one once, immediately had them exchange it. They are the best tho. I'll be sure to post of picture of one that I've eaten next time I go. It's not even gross looking, just looks like a freakin' bone that a vulture picked clean. They are seriously 98% edible meat. - TheBudd  357.3 #396 10:53PM
SPAM is also a crazy melding of ham and... stuff - cesium55  529.7 #216 10:53PM
Okay, missgoofy.. what is it then? because even if you tell me it's a babies leg, I'm still gonna eat it.. lol - TheBudd  357.3 #396 10:54PM
Please don't post a pic!!! - PinkElephants  634.1 #170 10:56PM
just for that, I'll post a video of me cleanin' one off in less than 4 minutes, and it will be DL related too because it's at the park.. hahaha j/k :P - TheBudd  357.3 #396 10:59PM
Thebudd.... That's just wrong buddy. A baby leg!? ='( - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 11:01PM
Oh Nooooo!! I gotta get to 200know fast so I can report it ;) - PinkElephants  634.1 #170 11:03PM
Heck yea.. "GET IN MEH BELLLAYYY" you know how it goes, lol - TheBudd  357.3 #396 11:03PM
I'm with you thebudd. One time my hubby got one and I was super disgusted but he made me try a bite and I became hooked! Super tasty!! - kritomiester  328.3 #482 11:14PM
I think everyone is the same way!!! I was terrified when my dad first bought one. It looked huge and smelled putrid! But a few years back I finally tried one. It's like their smoked with nicotine or something, I find myself lurking around my friends and family to eat the rest of theirs. - TheBudd  357.3 #396 11:23PM
I seen a family pack a loaf of bread and take afew Mayo and mustard packets from a near by restaurant and transform their turkey leg into a sammie by taking some meat from it. Good idea for anyone who has a hard time eating meat from a "turkey" bone bigger than your face and you don't have to look at the putrid looking flesh. :) Tastes yummy though. - Syrena  7.7 #7758 11:39PM
^ that's a great idea =) - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 11:50PM
if you think Turkey legs aren't real meat, you ain't seen nothin' yet.. *cough* school lunches and chicken mcnuggets *cough* - DonaldMissingPants  296.2 #631 12:08AM
I saw an episode of unwrapped on the food network of Disneyland food.. And the turkey leg is a turkey leg! And it's yummy!!! It's also on YouTube if u guys wanna confirm.. :) - yvetteissogoofy  162.1 #2125 12:03PM
That's a relief.. I was actually afraid some would tell me it really was baby leg.. lol, j/k. Thanks for the confirmation tho. It's nice to know it's not some processed piece of meat. - TheBudd  357.3 #396 12:17PM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upOme9z2E4E - splashphotoCM  880.9 #101 12:34PM
So cool, Thanks SMCM!! I have never seen that episode. - TheBudd  357.3 #396 12:42PM
Walt? Churros? Yeah, I don't think so. - SorcererBHhaha  408.5 #318 10:41PM
Do you think it was someone else who brought churros to DL? - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 10:56PM
acording to Disney the Asian Culture brought over Strawberry Churros and eat them during New Years - Dave   8633.4 #2 11:23PM
Through thorough research (internet search) churros were introduced to DL in 1985. - SorcererBHhaha  408.5 #318 11:28PM
Uhh thanks - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 1:08AM
The Churros came to DL way after Walt passed. - splashphotoCM  880.9 #101 12:38PM
I KNEW iT! They aren't turkey... Okay yes.. I'm new... But I kept telling my sister that it was HaM and she kept saying turkey.... There is no way. - Minniesmama  4.0 #13458 10:54PM
lol. All I know is that they label it as turkey. But whenever I get one anywhere else, or try to make my own, it is lousy and I need a trip to DL afterward... - TheBudd  357.3 #396 10:57PM
Ahahah... I'm not sure WHAT it is. But it ain't turkey - PinkElephants  634.1 #170 10:58PM
Ham?... From what part of the pig? Pig legs don't look like big chicken legs. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 11:00PM
I think they are smoked and smoking something gives it a different flavor. Similar to ham. - LaneSparrow316  846.9 #107 11:08PM
It's disgusting is what it is - AshleyLynn22  747.6 #136 11:25PM
I feel the same way about Dole Whip to be honest.. I detest pineapple. - TheBudd  357.3 #396 11:28PM
Oh I never said I would eat one. 😂 - LaneSparrow316  846.9 #107 11:29PM
Hahaha ever since I saw the picture of one of them in someone's pocket. I threw up a little 😷 and decided I'd never touch it. - AshleyLynn22  747.6 #136 11:32PM
Oh geez. That's no reason to find them disgusting. One time, I was working this dispatch job with I was younger, training this.. big guy (trying to be polite here). Anyway, it was about 2 hours til lunch, and he was starving. He says "Hey Budd, mind if I grab a quick bite to eat?" I tell him sure, cause it was slow. He doesn't get up, he doesn't hardly move. I just see his hand rifle around in his pants pocket real quick and out of it he pulls a Whopper. I just sat there slack-jawed in disbelief that this guy had been sitting there for nearly 2 hours with a darn hamburger IN HIS PANTS. Moral of the story: I still eat hamburgers. - TheBudd  357.3 #396 11:46PM
That's just wrong! Eew. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 11:50PM
Why is my block feature not working? - PrincessKristin  774.5 #126 11:51PM
You trying to block the thread or a person? - TheBudd  357.3 #396 11:53PM
Block me? ='( but but I haven't done anything. - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 11:56PM
Sorry, this went to the wrong place! I've only ever blocked a few people, but one of them just keeps showing up . . . - PrincessKristin  774.5 #126 12:01AM
Not you, uncool :) - PrincessKristin  774.5 #126 12:02AM
Opinions are ok, Bud. They are O-K. - LaneSparrow316  846.9 #107 12:03AM
Phew! :) - UncoolBunny  70.9 #3388 12:04AM
Sparrow, I am failing to understand your comment... seriously. - TheBudd  357.3 #396 12:08AM
I kinda really want to know what that meant :( When have I ever told anyone there opinion didn't matter? - TheBudd  357.3 #396 12:16AM
Do SoCal locals remember Wimseys (?sp)? They were a store that sold churros. It was something that was kinda popular back in the mid eighty's. - DisneylandDan  144.4 #2375 12:33AM
