This Past Saturday we had the opritunaty to explore Cars Land and Buena Vista Street, in Disney's California Adventure before it opens to the public on June 15th. It was one of the most fun trips we have had at the parks in a long time! These new additions will blow you away!! And we get to go back this Saturday for more!
We checked in and got our wrist bands and special event tickets.
"Let the memories begin" : )
We entered back at the Wharf. From that entrance you get a pretty breathtaking view of Radiator Racers. Going in, all we could say was "Wow!!"
The first thing on our list was Radiator Springs Racers! The rumor was that this was going to reinvent the E-Ticket ride. It exceeded our expectations and is now one of our favorite rides at the resort!
The ride takes you through a little of the cars story and gives you the experience of getting ready for a race as Lighting did. It's a pretty addicting ride! Just make sure you have a rubber band with you, our you may end up with a ride photo like the one below. ha! : ) We ended up doing this 3 times that evening.
Stopped by to visit Stanley, the founder of Radiator Springs.
Flo's Cafe. Where we later had dinner.
The details of this land are off the charts! I don't think they missed a thing.
The Cozy Cone. We didn't have time to try the food here, but its on our list for this weekend.
Us and Lighting
Little video of us enjoying Mater's Junkyard Jamboree! ; )
A REALLY quick video of Mater driving around talking.
This photo is really fun for us. For so many years we would stand back there on the other side of the fence at a place called Blue Sky Cellar (the building behind and to the right of us), stand on benches and excitedly try to see what we could of the construction. And now, we were inside the walls before opening!! : )
Eating at Flo's. The food was really good and the cafe is really cute!
Everything photographs so beautifully
Lighting driving around. They even showed the difference in the old road and the new road that Lighting had to pave while he was in Radiator Springs.
I was ready to be pretty disappointed by the Flying Tires, but it was really fun! You can get some speed and the beach balls were really fun!
Video of the street lighting ceremony, and they played my favorite song from the movie!!
It's stunning all lit up at night! <3
On our way out to Buena Vista Street
The street is beautiful!! And gives you the feel of another, smaller Main Street. So many shops and little details.
You know how on Main Street and back in New Orleans Square you can hear voices coming from the windows and offices above when its nice a quite? Well we heard some coming from Buena Vista Street from an Optometry office. : )
Can't wait to ride the Red Trolly, and try out all the new foods!
Another photo from inside the construction walls!! : )!
1920's Mickey, and some twenty first century Starbucks Hot Chocolates (which tastes better at DL) ; )
The new big gift shop. It's very big and grand inside.
Us and the new partners statue all boxed up, waiting for the grand opening.
Goodbye amazing new additions, see you next weekend! : )
It was SO SO fun to be able to go in and see everything without the crazy crowds that will be there this weekend (and the rest of the summer). I was so excited to get photos with the walls still up, little pieces of history! : )
