Cars 20th-Anniversary Gear: Where to Find It and How to Snag It
Published June 13, 2026 · Updated September 9, 2026
Quick Take
If you’re heading to Walt Disney World, the Cars 20th-anniversary collection is already on the shelves. The centerpiece is the cherry-red Racing Jacket ($84.99) and a handful of coordinated tees, hats, and accessories. Grab it before you leave the resort – either in-park at the dedicated Cars shops or online with a 23 % D23Shop discount (expires March 30 2025). Act fast; the jacket sells out in hours.
Where to Score It
In-Park Locations
- Cars Land – Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters: The main retail window for Cars gear. The jacket is displayed front-and-center, and staff can check inventory on the spot.
- World of Disney (Disney Springs): Still open despite the 2018 remodel. The Cars-themed rack is stocked with the jacket, tees, and a limited-edition pin set.
- The Disney Corner (Disney Springs) and Ever After Jewelry Co.: Smaller boutiques that have been known to receive overflow stock when World of Disney runs low.
Online Options
- Disney Store website (shop.disney.com) and the Disney Shopping app. Use the D23Shop promo code for 23 % off the entire Cars anniversary line, but only until March 30 2025.
- Pickup at select locations: When you order online, you can select “Park Pickup” at World of Disney or the Cars-themed kiosk in Cars Land. The item is held for 24 hours.
What’s New
- Racing Jacket – $84.99 – Cherry-red shell, black-and-white checkered trim on torso and sleeves, lightning-bolt zipper pull. The cut is slimmer than the 2011 version, so check the size chart (see note below).
- Coordinated tees (light-blue and charcoal) with the iconic “Speed. Power. Glory.” script.
- Limited-edition enamel pin set – Two mystery pins per bundle; a quicker route to completing a Cars pin collection than buying singles.
- Kids’ caps with the classic Lightning McQueen silhouette, sized for ages 4-8.
Who Should Grab It
- Families with a young fan who want a wearable reminder of the film. The jacket’s bright color makes it a standout photo-prop.
- Collectors tracking Disney anniversary drops. The jacket’s design is exclusive to the 20-year celebration and will not be re-released.
- Adults who like subtle Disney: The jacket’s design is bold; if you prefer low-key gear, consider the tees or pins instead.
- Budget-conscious guests: The jacket sits at mid-range Disney apparel pricing. If the 23 % off code brings it under $65, it’s a solid value; otherwise, the tees at $34.99 may be a smarter spend.
Insider Buying Hacks
- Hit the app the night before. Inventory updates at 6 a.m. PST; the app will show “In Stock” before the shelves are restocked.
- Reserve with the Disney Shopping app. You can lock a size for the jacket and pick it up the same day, avoiding the “sold out” scramble.
- Use the D23Shop promo code before March 30 2025. The 23 % discount applies to the jacket and all accessories, turning an $84.99 purchase into a $66.00 deal.
- Size-chart caution: Disney-adidas collaborations list adult sizes under the children’s chart. The Racing Jacket follows the same pattern – a “Medium” on the tag actually fits a women’s Small. Double-check the measurements (Chest 36-38 in) before you buy.
- Online flash-sale reflex: When the item appears on the site, add it to your cart immediately and checkout within minutes. Inventory disappears in seconds.
- Amazon price-drop tip – After Disney announces a merch drop, a quick search on Amazon can surface the same items at a 10-15 % discount within 24 hours. Not a guarantee, but worth a glance if you’re price-sensitive.
Navigation Tips for In-Park Shopping
- The shortcut path between Cars Land and Avengers Campus is closed for construction. Walk the main park promenade past the Pixar Place entrance; you’ll hit the Cars retail window in under five minutes.
- If World of Disney is crowded (typical lunch rush), swing by The Disney Corner or Ever After Jewelry Co. – both carry a limited selection of the anniversary line and have shorter lines.
- Park-hours matter: The Cars shop opens at park opening and closes at 9 p.m. The World of Disney location stays open later (10 p.m.), giving you a post-fireworks window to pick up online orders.
Takeaway
The Cars 20th-anniversary jacket is a limited-time, high-visibility piece that sells out fast. Use the D23Shop 23 % off code, reserve the size on the Disney Shopping app, and plan a quick walk through the main promenade (skip the closed shortcut). If the jacket stretches your budget, the coordinated tees or mystery-pin bundle give you the same anniversary vibe for less. Secure your gear early and you’ll leave Disney World with a souvenir that actually tells a story, not just a generic logo.
