A Gearhead's Guide to Cars Land...
 Wednesday night was a very big night for me- After over 5 years of personal involvement from the initial planning to final details, we had our Grand Opening ceremony for Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park.

Re: A Gearhead's Guide to Cars Land...
I would love to see it if I'm ever in CA again, but I don't like crowds.

Yea, I like the movies and my daughter and I collected all of the diecast from the first movie. I'd love to go at night sometime on a slow day. Just don't know if Disney ever has a slow day. I'd probably fly to the West Coast for a HAMB-only event at the park. |

NO crowds whatsoever if you go on an off-day, and off-season.  Last March my daughter and I were asked if we wanted to ride Indiana Jones again, as there was no one in line, and the jeep would go empty. Not one single person. "Pirates" was the same deal. The boat in front of us was empty, we were the only ones in ours, and the boat right behind us was empty. There were more "cast members" than guests throughout both parks....

March, eh? I had heard that the first week of December was statistically the slowest month at the parks. Kids are in school and it's after the Thanksgiving holiday and before Christmas break. |

DON'T go on a weekend, and every month from October through May has many "light" days. Plan ahead by looking at the Disney Park's hours and schedule. The shortest-hour days are that way because they do not anticipate any crowds. Oh yeah....And be there when it opens.

Our local news team has been broadcasting all day yesterday from there. Judy saw it and has decided she wants to go for her 42 birthday next month... How cool is that?!

Re: A Gearhead's Guide to Cars Land...
This is so cool! I have a reason to go to Disneyland after all these years.
 Some of the details you pointed out are very interesting, I like the firing order at Flo's, same as a Y-Block.

Re: A Gearhead's Guide to Cars Land...
My wife,and I go to Disneyland every year for her birthday (dec. 5th). I haven't anticipated something this cool at Disneyland EVER!!! As a child Disneyland was all about the rides,and the thrill. Now that I am older I look forward to the architecture, those Imagineers are amazing!!!! I was a sub-contractor in a house built here in Seattle a couple years ago. The big wig that owned the home hired some of Disneylands Imagineers to design his home (mansion).The detail was simply breathtaking!!!!

We already have a trip to Disneyworld planned in a couple of weeks. Maybe next year.
