There are very few things that could make Disneyland any more magical than it already is. We've already got the refreshing frozen pineapple Disney Dole Whip [1] and the drool-worthy Bacon Mac & Cheese Cones [2], but for the 50th anniversary of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, the Disney chefs have decided to do something extra special. We present you with gold-dusted churros.

In honor of the ride, which opened in 1967, New Orleans Square is getting a complete makeover [4] with unique pirate-themed food including Lost Treasure Beignets, Buccaneer Pulled Pork Sandwiches, Jolly Roger Punch, Calypso's Caribbean Chicken Stew, and of course, Golden Churros, which are lemon-flavored and reportedly taste like Fruity Pebbles. In addition to the menu items, there will be pirate-themed events and limited-edition merchandise . . . because the French Quarter could always use a little more gold, right?!
You better act fast, because starting on March 17, the Golden Churros [6], which are covered in yellow sanding sugar, will only be available for a limited time. We all know golden treasure does not last long, so grab your Golden Churro for $4 before the other pirates get to it first.
