In these times of uncertainty, we need to bring some Disney magic into our homes! With the indefinite closure of the Disney Parks, and stay-at-home orders, Many families have been searching for fun ways to pass the time together.
Disney has responded to that need with early movie releases to Disney+ (such as Onward and Frozen 2), virtual ride throughs, and drawing classes.
Even my fellow writers have created some awesome ways to Disney-fy your downtime, including fun recipes to make Disney snacks at home (such as Mickey Waffles, Mickey Pancakes and Mickey Rice Krispie Treats). I am always amazed at their creativity and positive attitudes. They make being in quarantine a lot more fun!
Disney has now given us another fun project to take on that you will definitely want to do with the whole family! They have shared their famous churro recipe for us to make in the comfort of our own homes!
I don’t know about you, but I love churros and Disney makes some of the best ones around! They are perfectly crispy on the outside, and light and fluffy on the inside. I have recently been in major Disney withdrawal, so any way that I can bring the parks into my home is a must!
What is great about this recipe is that, you most likely have all these ingredients at home! If you want to really go all out, pipe your churro batter into “Leia-buns”. Then you can throw some vanilla ice cream in between and make you very own Sleepy Hollow Churro Ice Cream Sandwich!

I don’t know about you, but I definitely plan to make this Easter Sunday with my family. We will turn on our favorite Disney Radio Station, and imagine we are sitting on a park bench on Main Street U.S.A., watching the parade.
I know someday soon we will all be back in our happy place once again, but until then, I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy and have lots of fun memories to make together in the meantime!
