Haul-o-ween is underway in Radiator Springs, and with it, a truckload of treats has been delivered to the Cozy Cone Motel. The Cozy Cone is set up as five separate venues, and they all have special seasonal items.
Like most of Cars Land, the Cozy Cone Motel receives a spooky makeover for the Halloween season. The five cones are grouped together near Flo’s V8 Cafe.
Halloween Menus at Cozy Cone Motel
Cozy Cone Motel 1 – Churros
Food:
- 🆕 Peanut Butter-Chocolate Churro – $6.99
*NEW* Peanut Butter-Chocolate Churro – $6.99
Peanut Butter Sugar-coated Churro with Peanut Butter Candy and Chocolate Sauce
One of the chefs told us that this was his favorite seasonal item for Halloween Time at DCA. So far, we can’t really argue with him. The churro was fresh, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the flavors were on point. We got more chocolate flavor than we did peanut butter, but when we happened to get a bite with the peanut butter M&Ms, it helped balance things out a bit.
This snack disappeared quickly.

Cozy Cone Motel 2 – Ice Cream Cones
Food:
- 🆕 Mater’s Haul-o-Ween Cone – $
- 🆕 Ube-Vanilla Twist Soft Serve – $
*NEW* Mater’s Haul-o-Ween Cone – $5.99
Ube Soft Serve with Black Sprinkles, served in a Cup or a Cone
This is a fairly bland cone with a blandly cute presentation. Overall, the flavor was essentially “vanilla,” but only in the colloquial sense where people associate vanilla with being very plain. In general, this could have been sweeter or at least had more flavor. There’s a slight nose-wrinkling aftertaste.

*NEW* Ube-Vanilla Twist Soft Serve – $5.99
Ube and Vanilla Swirl with Black Sprinkles, served in a Cup or a Cone
Vanilla was not a strong enough flavor to complement the bland ube taste. This is a mixture of two flavors that are too subtle to stand on their own. It’s cold, the texture is nice, and there’s not a ton of flavor for those who subscribe to the “blander the better” philosophy. It gets a slight boost from the vanilla, but we still can’t recommend this when there are so many better ice cream options at the parks. Go to Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream for the Candy Corn Float instead.

Cozy Cone Motel 3 – Chili Cone Queso
Food:
- Slow-burning Mac and Cheese – $10.99
Slow-burning Mac and Cheese – $10.99
Pasta with Red Pepper Cheese Sauce, topped with Chile-Cheese Puffs
The Slow-burning Mac and Cheese is no longer served in a black cone, but the taste is the same without the food coloring.
This is a hit every year, no matter the color of the cone (the weakest part of the dish). It’s like the counter service mac and cheese but packed with flavor from the red pepper in the sauce. There’s a reason it comes back year after year.

Cozy Cone Motel 4 – Frozen Cone-coctions
Beverages:
- 🆕 4-by-S’more Mule – $18.50
*NEW* 4-by-S’more Mule – $18.50
Toasted Marshmallow Mule with Cinnamon Whiskey
What a delicious blend of fall flavors. The cinnamon whiskey provides just the right backdrop for this refreshing drink. Overall, it was a pleasant surprise and something we would definitely get again. However, the hefty price tag can’t be disregarded. It’s still a better use of money than the two disappointing ice cream cones being sold two cones down.

Cozy Cone Motel 5 – Popcone
Food:
- Cozy Corn – $6.49
Cozy Corn – $6.49
Buttered Corn on the Cob with Spicy Lime Mayo, rolled in a choice of Cotija or Spicy Crushed Chile-Cheese Puffs
The corn is smothered in the (surprisingly actually) spicy lime mayonnaise and rolled in the topping you choose. We picked the Cotija cheese instead of the Hot Cheetos dust. The mayonnaise and toppings don’t adhere very well and start to run, so it’s potentially very messy. It’s served chilled, which is refreshing and delicious.
Rating out of 7: 6
There’s something for everyone at Cozy Cone Motel, but overall, we recommend you pass on the ice cream and go straight for the churro.
