Cozy Cone Motel is so CUTE! Its an exact replica of the motel in the movie, I love it! They even have different characters parked out front (I saw Lightning Mcqueen and Mater) to take pictures with. But be prepared to wait in a long line as with any photo ops offered at Disney. The cars actually do move as well so they will drive away and another character will come out for pics.
As for the food, I believe there were 5 different Cozy Cone's each with different offerings. Keep in mind that you can ONLY order from cone #5 or through the disney app - at least thats how they had it set up when my family and I went. We waited in line at the Cozy Cone Motel 3 - Chili Cone Queso only to be told at the window that they were only taking mobile orders. I wish there were more signs directing guests where to go so that they can order their food.
The wait was also the longest I experienced that day. Not only do you have to order through the app, but the wait for your order to be "ready" was much longer than any other place we went to. Once the app notified us that our food was "ready" my bf went up to the window but I'm assuming it was then that they started to prepare the order because he was gone for another 10-15 minutes and I know there was no lines to be waiting in. Doesn't really make sense to say the order is ready if it's not there to be picked up right away.
We only got the bacon Mac & cheese and honestly it was decent. Not what I was expecting for paying $8.99. Pretty small and packed a little too much with bacon for my liking. It wasn't bad but honestly there's so many other options to eat at Disney I'll probably go...
Read moreI went to DCA for the first time and ordered a vodka lemonade for $15, I seen how long the lines were so I preordered using the app for 3:10-3:20 pick up. The time was 3:O7 so I got in drink line, there was no one else in mobile order line and a bigger guy asked me about my order at the window so I said was I’m here waiting for my drink pick up, he basically told me go away because my pickup time was 3:10-3:20 and I’m too early. I thought they could’ve made it early but I decided to walk around for 10min and I came back at 3:17, the line wasn’t long but there was one person in regular line (nonmobile) and me + someone else in the mobile order line. She realized she didn’t mobile order and went to the regular line but then someone came to the left window and assisted her before me even though I was waiting before her??? So I finally get to the right window and I tell them I placed a mobile pick up and they finally make my drink right there, takes them a couple minutes because they’re huddled in the back talking & laughing. I finally get my drink and it taste like a waste of money. I know it’s Disney and I’m not asking for a lot of alcohol in my drink but at least make it detectable. The lemonade was ehh but would rather not buy it next not, nothing missing out on.
Next time I’m not wasting time ordering on the app and definitely don’t get the vodka lemonade unless you want them to play...
Read moreThe snacks at Cozy Cone Motel are great for grab-and-go. There are five individual Cozy Cone Motels for specific snacks: churros, ice cream, savory items, popcorn, and drinks. Watch for photo opportunities with the characters from the Cars series!! Meet Lightning McQueen, Sally, Tow Mater, and more!!
My recent favorite items are from Cozy Cone Motel 1 for ice cream cones, specifically the Ube Swirl cones (during the Fall and Halloween seasons). All were delicious and perfect for the recent warm weather. Cozy Cone Motel 3 has savory cones like chili con carne and mac n cheese.
Cozy Cone Motel 4 offers a variety of drinks, like lemonades and alcoholic beverages, from beers to specialty cocktails and hard seltzers.
The available items will sometimes rotate during the different seasons and events, but a few regulars are always on the menu.
Ordering is best through the Disneyland app on mobile and to see what's currently available. The small area around the Motels can become congested with people waiting in lines, picking up mobile orders, or just passing through. Unfortunately, Magic Key or Annual Pass holder discounts do not apply here.
There are a few tables and seats around the Motel and a few shaded areas that are...
