They say it's modeled after fancy olden days Los Angeles department stores which is kind of cool. Even more cool, Elias was Walt Disney's Dad's name so the shop is named after his father. I'd call Elias & Co as a general souvenir gift shop at Disneyland where you'll find a ton of clothes and other fairly standard Disney items. Tons of Mickey ears, bags, even some watches & jewerly. The huge store is divided into four sections: Men's, Women's, Children's and Jewelry. It's been helpful for me in particular when I needed to buy socks and ended up getting some cute Disney footsie covers in a bind. If you have an Annual Pass, they do offer the discount here which is nice. If nothing else, you can escape the heat or weather for a moment walking down Buena Vista Street thru the store from one end to the other and check out what's for sale instead of trotting down the trove with the masses. Because this is at the front of the park, it can get incredibly busy though! Only for that reason is it probably my least favorite shop at California Adventure. They have a helpful and friendly staff working though, as always is the Disney way!

This is a store you can easily miss if you're going straight for the theme park rides first. It's located inside Cars Land at Disney's California Adventure. The store feels like it's a part of Route 66. The moment you step inside, the store, you'll see a wide range of roadside souvenir stands that the residents of Radiator Springs would stop by. The weathered signage, mismatched shelves, and cozy layout is such an amazing theme for the store. The merchandise is heavily themed from the Cars universe. You'll see Lightning McQueen and Mater front and center at the store, but there is also retro inspired apparel, pins, toys and collectibles that are themed from the mid century Americana. It's such a fun store! You can see all of the small details that Disney designed within the store since the shops props and décor reference the movies. The shopping experience seamlessly blends in with the Cars themed movies. You could easily spend 30 minutes inside this shop, looking at all of the apparel and merchandise. My family and I spent a lot of time looking at the pins. It was great to look at all of the displays! The cast members at this location are fantastic!

The shop fits so seamlessly into the land that it feels like part of the story rather than just another retail stop. The theming is excellent, right down to the details, and it makes browsing genuinely enjoyable even if you are just passing through. I like that it feels relaxed and easy to pop into without the chaos of some larger park stores. It's a fun place to take a quick look around, soak in the atmosphere, and maybe spot a souvenir that feels perfectly at home in Radiator Springs.

I was just here recently, and I noticed that the Gone Hollywood sign looked like it wasn't lit properly on one side. At first, I thought maybe the store closed down.

The Minnie Mouse section has cute polka-dot shirts, sweaters, and wallets! I saw some backpacks (Lounge Fly), jewelry (mostly earrings), and blankets. They have a lot of cute things here. Good service at this store. Prices are pretty standard for Disney.

STOR-eeeeee like WALL-eeeeee - pixar theming integrating into the store here! Disney cast members were always so friendly when I popped in, greeting me and asking if help was needed. It's a great little gift shop for souvenirs but for any convenience or sundries needs, it's very minimal. I feel like as a hotel shop it should have some more personal care type items, things people forget at home, etc. They didn't have a brush or comb for purchase which was sad for me! They do have several bottles of wine and other liquor for purchase though, go figure. However, if you want Disney gifts, they can definitely be found here. Tons of fun items for gifts and even though I'm hating on it, they do have SOME personal care items. So if you're missing things, it is worth stopping in to try here before heading to Downtown Disney. Stor-E isn't a gift shop you should venture out of Disneyland for at all. There are magical Disney things throughout - the scuba mask from Finding Nemo, the odometer and balloons from Up, Hank's coffee pot from Finding Dory and more, ranging from the large and colorful to the small and precious. That being said, if you are staying at Pixar Place Hotel, it's right off the main lobby. Why not stop in for a little Disney retail therapy while chilling at the property. When you walk in the main entrance on the 1st floor, you'll find it around the corner on the right, before you get to the Great Maple restaurant.
