Cars Land at Disney California Adventure is hands down one of my favorite places in the park, and I loved every minute of it. The theming is absolutely incredible—it’s like stepping right into the movie. From the towering rock formations to the neon lights and the Route 66 vibes, everything is so immersive. Whether it’s day or night, the atmosphere is just perfect. At night, the neon lights glow and the whole area comes alive, making it feel like you’re in Radiator Springs.
The rides are amazing, especially Radiator Springs Racers. It’s such a fun mix of storytelling and thrills. You get to experience a race through Ornament Valley with stunning visuals and some of your favorite characters from Cars. It’s got everything—fast, fun, and scenic—and it’s definitely one of the best rides in the entire park. The Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters is a great ride too, and it’s perfect for younger kids. It’s lighthearted and fun, and the Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree ride is also fantastic for families. It’s cute, fun, and totally in line with the whole vibe of Cars Land.
For food, Flo’s V8 Café is a great stop with delicious American diner fare, and the Cozy Cone Motel has some fun snacks like churros and popcorn. It’s a perfect place to take a break and refuel.
I especially think Cars Land is great for kids. The rides are perfect for all ages, and the area itself is just so much fun to walk through. My kids had an absolute blast riding the attractions and just soaking in all the details. They were especially excited about meeting Lightning McQueen and Mater!
Overall, Cars Land is a must-see. The rides, theming, and overall experience make it a highlight of Disney California Adventure. If you’re visiting with kids or just love the Cars movies, it’s definitely a spot you’ll want to check out. Highly...
Read moreMy husband and I came here for the sole purpose of riding radiator springs racers. but was blown away by everything we saw. Entering Radiator springs via US Rt 66 I loved the attention to detail as shown by Fios V8 cafe and the Cozy cone motel. Although I have not seen the movie I can see why people say it is a great reproduction of the things in the movie.
We stopped at Surge's surplus gift shop where I was finally able to find car themed T shirts for my husband and son. Check here for cardmember discounts especially if you are using the Chase Disney Visa.
We didn't see any characters however there was a photo pass photographer by the billboard sign so we stopped for a few pictures.
We walked by Luigi's rocking roadsters which appeared to be a kid's ride. Would have tried it but the line was too long. We also saw Mater's junkyard jamboree which is the only other ride here besides those listed. It is truly a full immersive area, that gives you the feel that you are truly in the cartoon. Perhaps the greatest shot I got was of the AZ boulder desert that was framed by a boulder when we were leaving Pacific coast-about to be renamed SanFransoyko Square.
I loved the parked car and the statue in front of Radiator springs garage. Take the time to enjoy this section of the park whether or not you...
