Churro Mickey waffles have one of the most devoted followings of any food item in the Disney ecosystem, and until very recently, they were also one of the hardest to access at Walt Disney World. The only place to find them on property was Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom, a character dining experience featuring Winnie the Pooh and friends that costs $54 per adult and $35 per child, requires a dining reservation, and requires a Magic Kingdom park ticket. For guests on a budget or visiting without a packed park schedule, that combination of barriers made churro waffles a wish list item rather than a realistic breakfast plan.
That changed this week.
Churro Mickey waffles have arrived at Spyglass Grill at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and the accessibility difference compared to Crystal Palace is significant enough to be genuinely exciting.

The Details of This Disney Food Item
The churro Mickey waffle breakfast entree at Spyglass Grill is $11.49 for adults. It includes three Mickey-shaped waffles with the churro coating alongside bacon and sausage. A kid’s portion is available at $7.99. No park ticket is required to dine at Spyglass Grill. No dining reservation appears to be required. Caribbean Beach Resort is accessible via Disney bus transportation from throughout the Walt Disney World property, which means the only logistical requirement for getting these waffles is knowing they are there and showing up during breakfast hours.
That is a meaningful shift from the Crystal Palace version of this experience, which requires planning, a reservation, a park ticket, and a $54 per adult price commitment.
What Makes These Waffles Worth the Trip
Churro Mickey waffles earned their reputation on Disney Cruise Line, where they became a must-have breakfast buffet item that guests talked about long after their sailing ended. The combination is simple and effective. Mickey-shaped waffles with a sugary cinnamon exterior coating that creates a crisp outer edge while the interior stays fluffy. The sugar level is high enough that syrup is genuinely optional. The cinnamon gives the whole thing a warmth that makes it feel like a deliberate flavor decision rather than just a sweetened waffle. When they arrive, the exterior crackles slightly when you bite in, and the contrast between that crisp coating and the soft interior is what makes the experience memorable enough to generate the kind of social media response this item consistently produces.
The bacon and sausage that come with the adult entree balance the sweetness, making the whole plate feel like a real breakfast rather than a dessert served at the wrong time of day.

Why This Disney Location Matters
Caribbean Beach Resort is not a destination most Walt Disney World guests prioritize on its own. It is a moderately priced resort in the EPCOT area, sitting peacefully on the Disney Skyliner route. The resort offers comfortable accommodations without the premium pricing of the deluxe properties. Spyglass Grill is a casual dining location that typically does not generate the kind of attention that signature restaurants or character dining experiences do.
Churro Mickey waffles change that calculus entirely. A food item with a genuine cult following, now available at a resort restaurant for under $12 with no ticket or reservation barrier, is the kind of combination that turns a location from forgettable to worth a dedicated visit.
For families specifically, the $7.99 kids portion means the whole table can share the experience without the financial commitment required by Crystal Palace. Two adults and two kids can get churro waffles at Spyglass Grill for under $40. The same experience at Crystal Palace would cost significantly more, including drinks and any additional items.
No park ticket. No reservation. No excuse.
