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.

The shop fits so seamlessly into the land that it feels like part of the story rather than just another retail stop.

Understandable if it were a normal order but they messed it up. Took 15 minutes to unkindly refund. No apologies. Super sad for the kids who wanted that ornament for our family.
