Walt Disney World Resort has just announced that the fan-favorite Gluten-Free Churros from Nomad Lounge will soon be available for Mobile Ordering in the My Disney Experience app. Previously, Disney Park guests had to sit and dine at Nomad Lounge to enjoy the fried cinnamon sugary treat.

To order the Gluten-Free Churros, which cost $11 and come with two dipping sauces (Vanilla Crema and Apple Butter), Walt Disney World Resort guests can select “Nomad Lounge To Go” in the Mobile Ordering section of the My Disney Experience app.

After selecting an Arrival Window, guests add as many Churros as they'd like, apply their preferred payment method, and stop by Nomad Lounge to pick them up. The Walt Disney World Resort app may ask guests to select “I'm Here, Prepare My Order” after their Arrival Window begins.

Arrival Windows are limited, so guests are encouraged to place their order in advance rather than waiting until the last minute. Guests must have a valid ticket and, if applicable, a Disney Park Pass Reservation for Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park to pick up their Mobile Order from Nomad Lounge.

It's important to note that only the Gluten-Free Churros will be available on the My Disney Experience app; guests who want specialty beverages or other small bites from the Discovery Island dining location are encouraged to dine in person. Nomad Lounge does not accept reservations and offers walk-up availability only.
