REVIEW: Cozy Cone Motel Snacks & More for Cars Land’s Haul-O-Ween Celebration

WDWNT on October 7, 2017

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:

Halloween Churro – $4.50 (Cone 1)

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.

“Slow Burnin’ Mac and Cheese Cone” – $8.99 (Cone 3)

“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.

“Spoke-y Cone Macaron” (Cone 4)

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.

Popcone with “Junkyard JamBOOree Mix” – $5.49 (Cone 5)

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.

16 ($10.99) or 32oz. ($12.99) Traffic Cone Sipper with Halloween Sticker (All Cones)

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…

Pumpkin Churros Drive Into Cars Land for Haul-O-Ween at Disney California Adventure

WDWNT on September 27, 2017

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.

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.

Vampire Mater Bread Takes Wing for Cars Land Haul-O-Ween at Disneyland Resort

WDWNT on September 27, 2017

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!

CARS LAND HAUL-O-WEEN – Everyone’s favorite Cars characters have transformed Radiator Springs into their own Haul-O-Ween celebration during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort. For the first time, the Cars characters will be donning their Halloween “car-stumes” as they greet guests and prepare to go “trunk-or-treating.” Mater will be wearing his vampire or “van-pire” outfit, while Lightning McQueen is dressed as a super hero.

Haul-O-Ween is coming to Cars Land at Disney California Adventure and the residents of Radiator Springs are getting into the spirit, decorating each of their establishments and even dressing up in their own car-stumes! As seen above, Lightning McQueen is already a super hero to race fans, and his car-stume reflects that. Here he is next to the scare-car, which makes its Haul-O-Ween debut this year.

Mater may not have a trunk, but that won’t stop him from trunk-or-treating in his vampire costume.

Haul-O-Ween at Disney California Adventure along with Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort kick-off on September 15 through October 31. Stay tuned for live coverage of all of the festivities from WDWNT all weekend long!
