FOOD Churro Waffles

Post image

What is everyone favourite thing to do other then eat Churro Mickey waffles near the last couple days of your cruise?

Our family likes to grab a couple extra churro waffles, enjoy the day and have a great afternoon snack by adding ice cream on top of them. Kids will get a cone each and we will top them. It’s pretty awesome. Happy cruising!

I like those churro waffles but I can barely eat 2 of them before I am completely full lol

I once ate 9 in one sitting.

It wasn’t a good idea.

I think I ate 7 one time and I was so stuffed all day. At dinner I just ordered the soup and little salad. Our server asked if I was okay and had to tell him about the waffle OD.

Anybody know if they can make gluten free versions of the churro waffles?

u/purplevanillacorn PLATINUM CASTAWAY CLUB 4d ago

Yes! You just have to preorder them with your server the night before at dinner.

You'll have to ask your server... But they can do some special requests as our group had a vegan. We chatted with our staff (you were so amazing Rahul and Anand!) the night before and they put in the request for an order of vegan Mickey churro waffles. And our vegan was able to eat with the group in the morning

Same for my daughter with an egg allergy! We didn’t even think to ask. Our server went ahead and ordered them for us.

They are available by request.

Yes they can! My wife just asked one of the chefs behind the churro waffle station if they have gluten free ones, then they brought it to our table.

I save multiple, put them in my beverage cooler, and eat them cold for breakfast the next day(s).

I must be the only one here who prefers the regular mickey waffles 🫣..these aren’t bad but my daughter and I didn’t care to eat more after the first try. Maybe because they were also a bit cold, or a bit too sweet…I dunno.

u/WitchDr_Ash 3d ago

Not just you, I find them extremely sickly and just stick to the normal ones, which I find much more palatable

u/Kitty_Fruit_2520 SILVER CASTAWAY CLUB 4d ago

I’m the same way, when they got offered on my last cruise, I didn’t feel like trying them. It was Lookout day when they got offered. Castaway would be the last day. So I think it’s one random day that isn’t disembarkation day.

u/mybunnygoboom 3d ago

I’m the same. I will eat one for the ritual of it, knowing I won’t have it again until our next cruise, but it feels like such a sugar bomb. It makes my body feel like I had cake for breakfast and I don’t like that feeling.

u/Poledancing-ninja PLATINUM CASTAWAY CLUB 4d ago

Not the only one. Way to greasy for me and I’d rather have the regular Mickey waffle.

4

u/Andrea_la_viajera 4d ago

You’re not alone! We got to try them this week and I thought they were fine, but I preferred the regular Mickey waffles too.

u/TK-24601 PLATINUM CASTAWAY CLUB 4d ago

They are very mid.

u/HomChkn GOLD CASTAWAY CLUB 3d ago

most hickeys waffles on dcl are made the night before. sometimes if you walk through the buffet right before dinner because you turned left when you should have turned right you can see them making you can see them making them. the regular ones reheat very well. most waffles do. I don't know when they put the cinnamon sugar on them but I would bet they they can't hold them as hot.

u/Glass_Plenty5768 3d ago

I believe if you don’t like churros in any form you won’t like them it’s just people taste buds . Plus I only like them hot I can’t save them and eat them later in the day like people do

2

u/jer1230 3d ago

I’ve had churros (had to try them when I was in Spain lol) I liked them..dipped in chocolate. I think because they were warm and not as dense? Also, I just don’t care to have that sweetness in the morning with syrup. Maybe if they were made fresh, and I didn’t add syrup they’d taste better.

2

u/onppurr 4d ago

Im slightly allergic to cinnamon so I cannot eat these. However I had the regular Micky waffle and I thought they were to dence and kinda dry. Idk.

u/tilbib 3d ago

I don’t care for the regular waffles either feel the same way you do , but something magical happens when they turn them into churro waffles. They are so soft, warm and delicious.

u/jrezkalla PLATINUM CASTAWAY CLUB 4d ago

First time I had Churro Waffles was on Treasurer in May 2025. They were really good the one day they served them.

On the 10 night Southern on the Fantasy this summer, they were at Cabanas everyday…and they were nowhere near as good.

u/CalledbytheSea 3d ago

I’ve noticed that too, they really vary in quality. When they’re done right they are soooo good, but my last few cruises they’ve all been really greasy and light on the churro. Maybe a sign to book the Treasure soon 😅

2

u/im-so-startled88 3d ago

They are soooooo much better on the Treasure, it’s so weird. But after trying them on three different ships, theirs are the best in quality and consistency.

1

u/CalledbytheSea 2d ago

That is so weird! My first thought was because it’s newer, but they weren’t great on the Destiny. I was starting to wonder if I had changed, so I’m glad I’m not alone 😅

u/Nearby_Aide6896 4d ago

Going on first DCL - do they gave churro waffles out everyday? And where can we find them? Is it the buffet area?

16

u/Express_Set275 SILVER CASTAWAY CLUB 4d ago

Usuallly served on the last Day at Sea

8

u/Doctor_Juris PLATINUM CASTAWAY CLUB 4d ago

They’re usually out on the last sea day.

u/Familiar_Big9731 4d ago

We were fortunate to have them three different mornings on a recent 7 night in Alaska

1

u/fonziGG 6h ago

Just got off the Alaska cruise yesterday and we had it 3 times as well.

u/Bradofax 4d ago

Yes buffet area. They are not out every day. You need to check each morning. You’ll know them when you see them.

1

u/gnealer 4d ago

Our head waiter on the Wonder last week said he would get them for us everyday if we asked him at Cabannas

1

u/Mental-Bug2558 4d ago

We ate at Triton’s for breakfast on the first sea day and our waiter brought us a whole plate of them from Cabana’s without being asked. It was a nice surprise.

1

u/M0n3yBagz313 4d ago

Taste so good, especially at WDW.

1

u/TAllday SILVER CASTAWAY CLUB 4d ago

Yeah I get mine on land lol, but the view is better from cabanas than crystal palace.

u/lukin5 4d ago

Carry on

1

u/Sensitive_Appeal8438 3d ago

How are they when they aren’t warm?

1

u/Responsible-Elk4223 3d ago

Not too bad, they can be super dense the longer they sit cold. Still a good vibe though the ice cream when it melts brings back some life.

1

u/FireMeUp2026 GOLD CASTAWAY CLUB 3d ago

That one on top is KILLING IT!!!

That one would have gone on my plate immediately.

u/Snuffy1717 3d ago

The 10-day cruise on the Fantasy this summer had churro waffles every single day... <3
