5. Fuel up with sweet victory food items: Like all cars, even fans need to fuel up after a long day of racing! Pick up Lightning McQueen’s very own popcorn bucket, perfect for sharing with other racers. 

After some popcorn, take time to enjoy all the other fabulous bites around Radiator Springs, with pit stops at Cozy Cone Motel, Flo’s V8 Café, Fillmore’s Taste-In and Ramone’s Serv-Ice Station!
