As the story goes, Lowman happened to spot a churro stand while at the Long Beach Grand Prix in 1985, eventually tracking down the company behind the street snack (one J&J Snack Foods, in this case) to see about bringing them on as Disneyland vendors. They agreed, and essentially the rest is history.
The churros are better at Disneyland because when you order you get them fresh. WDW churros are the same churros but they're made and then transported to the stands. So they lose their freshness after sitting there.
