Cars Land is once again touting some seasonal attraction overlays at Disney California Adventure. Watch the full on-ride POV videos of Mater’s Jingle Jamboree and Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl, new for the Christmas season at the Disneyland Resort, running through January 7th, 2018.
As part of Haul-O-Ween in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure, the Cozy Cone has a bevy of ghoulish-cious treats that will be offered only until October 31st, 2017. We tried them all (of course), and here are our thoughts on these seasonal offerings:
How is it? Well, I’m not the biggest fan of pumpkin flavored snacks nor churros, so I was surprised and delighted when I enjoyed this one. The pumpkin flavor wasn’t overpowering and the churros tasted like it was fresh out of the oven.
“Pasta with spicy red pepper cheese sauce, topped with chili-cheese puffs, served in black cauldron cone”
I wish this would stay all year long, because it is fantastic. A spicy version of the solid Disneyland counter service mac and cheese with a lot more flavor from red pepper cheese sauce. The bread cone wasn’t bad either.
A macaron filled with marshmallow buttercream and candy corn.
This is super sweet, but I really enjoyed it, especially when I would find a hidden piece of candy corn in a bite. The marshmallow cream is rather pleasant between the two soft pastry pieces. Personally, this is a must order for me.
An optional add-on of M&M’s, candy corn, chocolate covered pretzels, boston baked beans, and ghost quins to any flavor of Popcone offered.
I’m not sure there are many flavors here that would go good with the mix, but butter should be fine. We went for white cheddar, which I also thought was enjoyable.
I really love snack mix and this one was absolutely delightful and a HUGE portion for the price. The Cozy Cone already offers a decent serving of popcorn, but it being mixed with all of these other items makes it much heavier, certainly enough for any family to share. The candy corn was the only item that doesn’t really mix well in a bite with popcorn, but otherwise, everything went together nicely. Again, I wish I could have this all year long.
It’s kind of disappointing that they just offer a sticker pack with the cone cups for you to customize it, but the cone cups also haven’t been available to guests since May 2015, so its a good time to pick them up if you don’t have them.
I’m not going to lie, I did put some thought into buying 5 of these and decorating these like the actual Cozy Cones…
Disneylanders love their churros, and now there’s a new flavor of churro to love for a limited time at the Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land.
The pumpkin churro is available for a limited time during the Haul-O-Ween celebration now through October 31st at the park. Available at Cone 1, the treat didn’t even have a real sign yet when we first discovered it. It is priced at $4.50.
How is it? Well, I’m not the biggest fan of pumpkin flavored snacks nor churros, so I was surprised and delighted when I enjoyed this one. The pumpkin flavor wasn’t overpowering and the churros tasted like it was fresh out of the oven.
The bad news is that this line can get quite long, but Cone 1 does open a little earlier than some of the others for the early morning breakfast hours. My tip would be to get their early and get this for a sweet breakfast treat.
Move over Groot bread, there’s a new specialty bread treat at Disney California Adventure and it’s Vampire Mater!
Made especially for the Cars Land Haul-O-Ween celebration going on through October 31st, the cheesy-sourdough bread is available for $8.49 at Fillmore’s Taste-In. Quantities every day are limited, so be sure to head over early!
Most importantly (in this day and age), it takes a great picture for social media, since that matters.
Don’t let my long fingers fool you, it’s quite large, and if I didn’t hold it that way, the wings would fall off due to their weight.
If you’ve had any of the other sourdough bread items at the park, you know how good they are, and this one is no exception. So don’t hesitate, fly on over to DCA and get some Vampire Mater bread!

In a surprise announcement tonight, Bob Chapek revealed at D23 Expo 2017 that Paradise Pier will soon become Pixar Pier.
AT D23 EXPO 2017, DISNEY PARKS CHAIRMAN BOB CHAPEK ANNOUNCES PLANS FOR PIXAR PIER AT DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE — During D23 Expo 2017, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts Bob Chapek unveiled plans for Pixar Pier at Disney California Adventure, where the pier will take on a brand new look as more favorite Pixar characters and stories come to life, from The Incredibles, to Inside Out to even more Toy Story.
They have hinted at a new attraction, but with no further details as of yet.
This has been announced along side Pixar Fest, bringing new fireworks to Disneyland.
In other Pixar news, the Pixar Play Parade will be switching to Disneyland, and replacing it, Paint the Night will be the nighttime draw at California Adventure.
For those of you who enjoy Halloween, you will soon be able to join the Cars Land family in celebrating the holiday.
In Marvel news, the Guardians of the Galaxy will be joined by Spider-Man and the Avengers in what will become a completely immersive Super Hero universe at the park.
These new stories will build on the success of the new and already popular Guardians of the Galaxy — Mission: BREAKOUT! and create a place where you can team up with your favorite Super Heroes like never before.
No word yet on whether the Paradise Pier Hotel will become the Pixar Pier Hotel.

Disney has released the following image, the first concept art for the replacement attraction for Luigi’s flying tires attraction at Disney California Adventure:
The artwork would confirm rumors of a dancing car, trackless ride that should open in early 2016. It appears guests will travel and twirl in 1950’s-era cars over a new floor covering the large air vents that pushed along the Flying Tires. We reported several months ago about the closure of the ride and speculated what might be replacing it.
Despite several dates that have now passed, Luigi’s Flying Tires should close forever by the middle of the month.
Rumors also indicate that this new ride system may be used for a new Toy Story attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the rumored Toy Story Land expansion of the park.
Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
UPDATE: Disney has announced the closing date for Luigi’s Flying Tires to be February 16th.
