History of Cozy Cone Motel
The Cozy Cone Motel made its debut in June 2012 with the grand opening of Cars Land at Disney California Adventure. It was part of the major multi-year expansion of the park that included transforming the area previously known as Timon Parking Lot into an immersive recreation of Radiator Springs from the Cars films. The quick service dining location brought the iconic Cozy Cone Motel to life in a way that perfectly matched the theme and story of Cars Land.
Walt Disney Imagineers designed the cones to look just like they do in the movies, with each cone offering fun snacks tied to different characters from the films. Over the years, the Cozy Cone Motel has seen a rotating lineup of limited-time and seasonal treats. For Halloween, it has offered creepy crawly churros and candy corn soft serve. During Pixar Fest and Pixar Pier transformation, specialty items included a spicy elote corn snack.
For holidays, unique churro flavors and hot cocoa have been served. While the core menu has largely stayed the same, these frequent specials keep guests coming back to discover the latest cone-themed creations. More than a decade after opening, the Cozy Cone Motel remains a guest favorite for its whimsical theming and delicious on-the-go snacks.
