Plot
Vanellope and Judy play around the Disney Neighborhood. The next day, they encounter a time traveler named Kevin Pierce. Kevin introduces them to his teammates: a blue Tyrannosaurus and caterpillar duo named Rexy and Ryan, and his nine-year-old daughter, Beth Pierce, whom Vanellope is instantly smitten by. Lawrence Broderick, the Disney Neighborhood's mayor, finds Beth's pet cat Nevins lost again and returns him to the group. They are then sent on a ride to the time travel shed house.

At the shed house, Vanellope, Kevin, Rexy, and Rayn build the Indoor Stair Luge Transforming Time Traveler. They begin heading towards World War II to find the first Collectible. The ten Collectibles are various items found in ten dimensions. Before they can go any further, two beans knock them down before realizing their mistake. They explain that they knocked them down because they misunderstood them as Gear Gremlin, a hideous monster.

Revealing he does exist, Gear Gremlin attacks the shed, but is knocked out by Vanellope. Frustrated, he flies away in complete anger. In World War II, Vanellope measures the group's powers. They obtain the Collectible, which is money, but are chased by Gear Gremlin's bear goons, Drug, Dug, and Rug. As they are about to fall into a chasm, the Time Traveler zaps them back to the shed safely. Beth becomes fond of Vanellope, and the two form a relationship.

After successfully finding the other eight Collectibles, they head off to get the final Collectible at the North Pole in 1954. Vanellope, Judy, Beth, Rexy, and Ryan try to get the Collectible, but it's blizzard power grabs Beth. Vanellope grabs onto Beth's hand against the wind. Beth lets go to sacrifice herself, but Vanellope grabs the Collectible and grabs Beth. Back at the shed house, Vanellope combines the Collectibles and their powers, but the impact blows the shed house to smithereens and crushes Nevins. Upset by the explosion of their shed house and the death of their cat, Kevin, Beth, Rexy, and Ryan become angry with Vanellope and Judy after finding out that they planned the adventure in the first place. Vanellope hesitantly attempts to explain herself, but Kevin reprimands both Vanellope and Judy for putting Beth's life in danger when trying to get the final Collectible and orders them to leave.

As Vanellope and Judy prepare to go home, they are captured by the bears. Lawrence, Mr. Ziploc, Hank, and Iggy witness their capture and come to the now destroyed shed house to get help. Realizing that Vanellope was telling the truth, Beth, Kevin, Rexy, and Ryan go to rescue their friends. Beth grabs a jet pack and saves Vanellope before Gear Gremlin can shoot her. Vanellope attacks Gear Gremlin, prompting Judy to become Super Judy. Gear Gremlin tries to kill Vanellope, but Beth kicks him in the face, and he falls to his death.

With Gear Gremlin and his bear goons gone, Vanellope and Beth become the best of friends. With some encouragement from Kevin, Beth decides to permanently live with Vanellope and Judy, and Lawrence gives Beth a Disney D badge. Vanellope, Judy, and Beth bid Kevin, Rexy, and Ryan a tearful farewell, and Kevin, Rexy, and Ryan retire from time travelling and depart for a new home. Vanellope, Judy, and Beth become a trio called the Disney Detectives and watch the sunset. The film ends with Vanellope, Judy, and Beth joyfully heading to the Disney Neighborhood, and with the characters dancing to Smash Mouth's Hang On as the credits roll.
