DISNEYLAND'S popular treat has sold roughly 2.8million every year, but you can find it at Costco too.

Costco sells Disneyland's churros in bulk, and it's significantly cheaper than the original price at the park.

According to Instagram influencer, emma.on.the.ball, Costco sells their churros for $1.49 for one.

Meanwhile, Disneyland sells one churro for $5.

You can now buy the same churro from Disneyland at Costco, but it's only sold in bulk.

Emma.on.the.ball, also known as Camellia, found a hack that's best for party planning.

Disneyland churros vs. Costco churros

You might be wondering what is the difference between Disney's churros and Costco's churros, but the reality is that there is no difference in the food.

According to emma.on.the.ball, both companies use the same brand, Tio Pepe's Churros Cinnamon Sugar Pastry Sticks.

"They come in a pack of 60 for $30 and they're from the same supplier Disney uses.

"When you open the box, there are five packs of a dozen churros," Camellia said.

The box also has paper bags that come with it inside.

"Place them in the oven at 455 degrees for nine minutes and so you have delicious, crispy churros.

"I was showing mine at a party, so I cut them into smaller pieces before putting them in cinnamon and sugar," Camellia said.

You may see that the Costco churros are twisted while the Disneyland ones are straight.

The churros sold at Costco definitely look larger, and it's approximately $2 per churro if you buy the box.

Keep in mind you're still getting a great deal as the churro is bigger, and it is still cheaper than the churros sold at Disneyland.

How much is a Costco membership?

If you want to visit Costco's food court, you need to be a member.

There are three types of Costco memberships.

A gold and business membership is $60 per year.

An executive membership is $120 per year which includes an annual two percent reward on purchases.

For example, if you spend $250 a month for a year that would come out to $3,000. You would receive an annual reward of $60.

The gold membership includes the free household card and is valid at all Costco locations.

For the business card, it's relatively the same as the gold although businesses are able to purchase items for resale.
