Cars Land... One of my favorite places in California Adventure!!!
My daughter and I have visited California Adventure multiple times. We recently went back to Cars Land over Thanksgiving break. My daughter is a huge Cars fan. It's super exciting to go over the Holidays because Disney, really brings the Holiday theme into Cars Land. Matter's Jamboree becomes a Jingle Jamboree, and Luigi's Ride is also decked out for the Holidays. It Luigi even sings Holiday themed songs. Its quite a experience in Cars Land over the seasonal Holidays!
Tip: If you have Fast Pass on your ticket, and your in California Adventure or Disneyland with a Multi-Pass; you want to ride Radiator Springs Racers, queue first thing in the morning, especially during the holidays. By the time it turns 1:00 P.M, most of the fast passes are gone for Radiator Springs.
There are three rides in Cars Land
1) Radiator Springs Racers
2) Mater's Jingle Jamboree (Holiday)
3) Luigi's Dancing Cars Ride.
My daughter loves all three rides. She'd give a 5* on all of the rides. Above, I've ranked each ride you should do in Cars Land, in order.
Radiator Springs Racers is a cars ride which you're essentially riding in a car, 3 front, 3 in back through radiator springs. Towards the end, you end up racing another car. The speed actually picks up and there are a few note worthy small drops on the ride. Super fun though! It's got a lot of angles on the ride during the race part. If it wasn't for the long wait, I'm sure that my 6 year old daughter would ride this ride over and over again!
Mater's Jingle Jamboree, you ride in one of mater's carts. There are two loading areas. It's essentially a tea cup ride, where you have a lot of tight, small turns that may get you dizzy. Fun ride. The wait is approximately 20 minutes. (Check out my review for the Mater's Jingle Jamboree).
Luigi's Dancing Cars Ride. There are a wide variety of cars placed throughout the ride. It goes in slow motion to the song and towards the end, you twirl around in a circle really fast. (Check out my review for Luigi's Dancing Cars Ride).
Super fun, love Cars Land! Great food selection too. You've got the V8 Flo cafe, Cozy Cone, and a few other carts scattered through-out Cars land.
There is one store, towards Radiator Springs, where you can pick up Cars themed merchandise. My daughter picked up a Mater shirt (gray) when we were in Cars land a few years ago.
If you're in California Adventure, you need to stop by Cars Land! It's a requirement!
