Looking for a handy new on-the-go snack on the way to Radiator Springs Racers? We were too, so we pulled on in to the Cozy Cone Motel in Disney California Adventure to try a rather interesting new idea that almost calls to mind the classic Disney Handwich.
Cozy Cone Motel also serves churros, beverages, and soft-serve.
Creamy Mac ‘n’ Cheese mixed with Roasted Bacon served in a Bread Cone
For a to-go snack served in a bread cone, this is a heavy dish. It isn’t something you want to eat and then go be active.
The mac and cheese is thick and baked. It reminds us of mac and cheese from KFC that has been sitting in a warmer for a while.
It’s not unpleasant but it’s not as good as some other mac and cheese offerings at Disneyland Resort.
The flavor is fine. It’s fairly plain, but the smoked bacon makes it much better.
Having a bread cone to eat after all the mac and cheese is almost a sardonic challenge, and would likely slow the diner down even further. Overall, the flavor was only okay and, being so heavy, it isn’t something we would want to get again if we had more places to go in the park.
Our reporter Charly gave a few more thoughts on this in our YouTube video review, which you can watch above.
Will you be trying the cheesy cone? Let us know in the comments.

City of Hooks and Scars is book two in the City of Villains series: a fairytale-inspired crime trilogy by author Estelle Laure.

Jambo, everyone (that means hello, if you didn’t know)!
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
We go to the Disney World parks every day, and today we’re bringing you latest updates in construction, merchandise, and food from Disney’s wildest theme park — Animal Kingdom!
Zuri’s Sweets Shop is ready for summer with a bunch of returning strawberry treats! There’s the Strawberry Mickey Rice Krispie Treat…
Strawberry Mickey Rice Cereal Treat
…and the large Strawberry Mickey Cookie.
Strawberry Mickey Cookie
Both of these treats are $5.49. These treats were good, but we think there are better options if you’re looking for a snack in Animal Kingdom.
Perhaps the biggest news to come out of Animal Kingdom this week is that the parking trams have finally returned!
Parking Trams are BACK at Animal Kingdom!
That’s right, you no longer need to walk through the parking lot to get to your car anymore, the tram will pick you up and take you to the front of the park and vice versa.
Disney recently announced that the way we watch KiteTails would be changing, and when we were in Animal Kingdom recently, we noticed that the signage around the KiteTails amphitheater has been taken down.
Baloo
The show is being changed so that it can be viewed from all around Discovery River and shows will happen more frequently throughout the day.
Another change that’s coming to Animal Kingdom is the updated Finding Nemo show. The new show, Finding Nemo: The Big, Blue… and Beyond! is replacing Finding Nemo: The Musical and we noticed a change to the show’s home, the Theater in the Wild.
The show’s poster is covered up!
There’s currently canvas covering up the place where there’s usually a sign for whatever show is performing there. We expect this will become home to a new poster for the updated show.
Over at Island Mercantile, we noticed a button-up from the Vault Collection.
Vault Collection Button-Up
This shirt is white and features some of the classic Disney characters like Mickey and Goofy, along with the Walt Disney World logo. It also has a pocket that says “Walt Disney World” and “71,” which is a reference to 1971, the year Disney World opened. This shirt is available for $59.99.
Pandora just celebrated its 5th anniversary in Disney World, and there’s tons of merchandise in Windtraders to celebrate. We got a peek at some of the items that will be coming as part of this celebration (including a candle!) not long ago.
First up are a ton of PINS! These pins say “5 Years on Pandora The World of Avatar” and are meant to look like Pandora during the night and during the day. The Pandora during the day pin is $17.99 and the Pandora at nighttime pin is $19.99.
5th Anniversary Pandora Night and Day pins
If you’re a fan of the woodsprite scene in Flight of Passage (it really is one of the best), then you’ll want to see this Woodsprite Pin for $19.99. It is a limited edition pin, and one of only 3,000!
Woodsprite Pin
We also spotted this tumbler for $22.99. It has the same design as one of the pins above.

We saw this Pandora PopSocket for $19.99. It features the iconic Pandora floating mountains.

And finally, we saw a couple of magnets! There’s a Banshee magnet for $9.99…

Starbucks in Downtown Disney District is selling a new round of “Been There” series mugs inspired by “Star Wars.” In 2020, several “Been There” series “Star Wars” mugs were released on shopDisney. Mugs in this series are inspired by different locations, so each “Star Wars” mug features a different planet from the universe.
These white mugs feature Naboo, Ahch-To, and Nevarro.
Each mug comes in a black box with the planet’s name on top. Nevarro is an Outer Rim planet features in “The Mandalorian.”
The Nevarro mug has a brown and green color scheme, with elements from “The Mandalorian” pictured. Mando and baby Grogu are the largest images. It also features Mando’s Mudhorn signet and Stormtroopers.
Luke spent time on Ahch-To and Rey visited him there in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”
The mug features green and blue images of Luke, Rey, Porgs, ghost Yoda, the Jedi books, and more.
Finally, Padmé is pictured on the mug for her home planet of Naboo. It also features Jar-Jar Binks, and the famous lightsaber battle between Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Maul.

“Star Wars” turns 45 this month and Walt Disney World is celebrating with a new line of apparel featuring original concept art for the films. We found all of this in World of Disney at Disney Springs.
This tee is an ombre tan color, with a white stripe along the bottom.
The designs on these shirts are all printed in ultraviolet ink, which means they should last longer.
This shirt features several storyboard images from the climactic scene of “Star Wars: A New Hope,” when Luke flies through the trenches of the Death Star.
There is a closeup of Wedge Antilles in his X-wing cockpit, complete with a description of the scene, and two renderings of flying X-wings.
A patch for the concept series is in the lower right corner. It includes the 45th anniversary logo, which features the original concept design of Luke Skywalker.
This white tee features a sketch of Luke’s speeder on Tatooine.
The description reads “Speeder to Cantina.” There are boxes for shot number, page number, frame count number, and board number.
The “Star Wars 45” patch is at the bottom.
This blue tee has a holographic rectangle on the front. When seen at different angles, it features one of two storyboard images of the main characters inside the Millennium Falcon.
There are notes around the holograph image, and classic dialogue printed below it: “That’s no moon… it’s a space station. Turn the ship around.”
One shot shows the group from behind, looking at the Death Star, while the other shows them from the side looking forward.
This brown crew neck shirt features an image of Darth Vader at the center.
The vintage image also features old designs for Luke, Chewbacca, C-3PO, and R2-D2.
“Star Wars” is printed in black on one sleeve.
Will you be wearing any of this “Star Wars” concept series apparel? Let us know in the comments.
This apparel is also available at Disneyland Resort.
