DisneyDaniel — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:00:53 +0000

Cars Land is the newest land to be expanded at California Adventure since they opened in 2001. It’s also the newest full sized land to be added to the Disneyland Parks since Mickey’s Toon Town came along in 1988. Not including of course the entire California Adventure Park… With Cars Land came a significant investment in new entertainment, shops and food offerings.

Patrick — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:00:26 +0000

The world of ‘Cars’ is about to reach new heights with Disney’s new film, ‘Planes‘. The film follows a crop dusting plane, named Dusty, who’s goal in life is to “enter the most epic around-the-world air race… despite his fear of heights.” Originally conceived as a direct to video spin-off of the ‘Cars’ franchise, Disney has decided to give the film a proper theatrical release. I’ll admit, I was skeptical about the idea of a ‘Cars’ spin-off in the first {Read More}

Is the Art of Animation Resort Right for you?

Sunshine — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 16:00:23 +0000

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the new Art of Animation resort. It is an amazing and beautiful resort. It is considered a “value” resort but it does not look like a “value” resort in anyway. They have mainly suites and some standard rooms. When you first drive up to the resort you see the huge paintings outside of Animation Hall representing the characters that have suites or rooms in their honor. There is quite a little winding road to {Read More}

Tuner dad turns son’s Lightning McQueen into real electric runner

guest blogging — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 15:00:26 +0000

“Cars” may not be the most well-liked Pixar movie among adults, but it’s got a healthy following among the booster-seat set. So when Sean Burgess’ five-year-old son wore out his Lightning McQueen Powerwheel, Burgess did what any experienced car tuner would do: took it into his shop and gave it an upgrade into a mini electric race car. Burgess, the co-owner of the FFTEC tuning shop in Union City, Calif., reworked the toy with the addition of race-quality parts, starting {Read More}

Grand Opening Today: Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park

Chip — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 12:16:05 +0000

I highly recommend watching the Disney•Pixar film “Cars” before you visit Cars Land at Disney California Adventure park. It will refresh your memory of all the charming details of Radiator Springs, from the blinking light in the middle of town to Luigi’s Leaning Tower of Tires outside his shop. Watching it in 2D will do two things: 1) remind you of how lifelike Pixar animators made Radiator Springs look through animation, and 2) enhance your appreciation of how Imagineers made {Read More}
