I'm sad to admit that I have not yet been to Disneyland! We will definitely go one day, but when you live next to WDW, whenever we venture far, it's usually to something other than Disney to be different. 

One thing that Disneyland has that Walt Disney World does not is Cars Land! The closest WDW has is the Cars section of the Art of Animation Resort. We've stayed here before and we LOVE the theming. Not only are the rooms fully-themed out, but you can walk around and take photos with the various characters! Here are a few photos :)

Sometimes when a park has a "land" with such a focused theme, it is really just a couple of rides and a place to eat and I am left wondering where the rest is. Of course, I cant speak to Cars Land personally since I haven't been there, but seeing it online and in social posts, it looks so much more than that! 

Where is Cars Land located?

Cars Land is located in Disney California Adventure theme park.

How many rides are in Cars Land?

Cars Land has 3 main attractions:

Radiator Springs Racers: Take a scenic drive in a convertible through Ornament Valley and a tour of Radiator Springs, followed by a thrilling ride racing side-by-side with another car.

Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters: Luigi’s cousins from Carsoli, Italy, take guests along for the ride as they demonstrate some of their choreographed village dances.

Mater's Junkyard Jamboree: Baby tractors pull guests in trailers as they spin and whirl to one of Mater’s songs.

You can also meet Mater & Lightning McQueen!

What restaurants are in Cars Land?

• Cozy Cone Motel (a quick service restaurant)
• Fillmore's Taste-In (cart/kiosk)
• Flo's V8 Cafe (fast casual dining)

What shopping is in Cars Land?

• Ramone's House of Body Art (was kinda hoping for this to be a tattoo shop, how funny would that be?!)
• Sarge's Surplus Hut

Here are some fun facts about Cars Land!

• At more than 280,000 square feet of rock work, the Ornament Valley mountain range is the largest rockwork created in a domestic Disney theme park.
• Every year, each ride vehicle on Radiator Springs Racers will travel approximately 36,000 miles – which is more than 14 trips down the original Route 66 – I wonder if the ‘ghostlight‘ makes an appearance on the ride?
• All 22 tractors in Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree each have a unique look and personality to them.
• The Walt Disney Imagineers devoted more than 28,000 hours to designing the structural system for the rockwork and Radiator Springs Racers show building.
• Radiator Springs Race vehicles come in eight colors — each with its own personality. The six-passenger convertible features a male or female face, with different detail in the eyes and lips.
• Cars Land was announced as a major part of the Disneyland Resort expansion project on October 17, 2007. Construction began on what was the last remnant of the original Disneyland parking lot in July 2009, and the grand opening took place on June 15, 2012.
