The special Lunar New Year Festival offering you’ll find here is the Dragon Fruit Churro! It is priced  at $7.25.

Dragon Fruit Churro

But is this worth a try over a regular, standard churro? Let’s find out.

Eat

The NEW Dragon Fruit Churro is made of a churro rolled in coconut-dragon fruit sugar and is topped with dragon fruit icing.

The churro certainly gets some points for style — just check out the mix of pinks, purples, and whites from the sugar and icing! You’ll totally stand out from the “regular” churro crowd with this one. In terms of taste, though, it was literally just like a regular Disneyland Churro topped with coconut.

We taste the coconut

We really didn’t taste the dragon fruit. With that being said, though, we still liked it!

Overall

Overall, we thought this churro wasn’t anything special, but we’re never going to turn down ANY churro in Disneyland. If you like coconut, we still think it’s worth the purchase. Just don’t expect to taste any dragon fruit. If you do want to give this treat a try, be sure to stop by Willie’s Churros by February 18th!
