The Cozy Cone’s neon sign

The Cozy Cone Motel is a quick-service dining location in the Cars Land section of Disney California Adventure based on the motel seen in Pixar’s Cars series of films. The design of the motel is based on the kitschy Wigwam Motel chain, of which two still exist along Route 66 – one in Holbrook, Arizona, and one in San Bernardino, California.

“Yeah, it’s like a clever little twist: the motel’s made out of caution cones, which, of course, cars usually try to avoid… now we’re gonna stay in them”
– Lightning McQueen

A look at the Cozy Cone’s entrance

Each of the 5 cones here sells cone-themed versions of snacks and beverages such as chili “cone” queso.

Sharp-eyed Pixar fans can peek through the window to find a Buzz Lightyear hiding in the motel’s lobby, a nod to a scene from Pixar’s Toy Story 2 (1999).
