Disney: Cars Land Review

Disneyland- the happiest place on earth- just got happier with the addition of Cars Land.
CarsLand is a super cute creation of Radiator Springs.
You can visit the Cozy Cone for some snacks, Flo's for some home style meals, Philmore's for juice and stuff(:, I'm not sure what Ramone's had- I didn't quite make it there. Sarge's Surplus Hut had a variety of trinkets and souvenirs- including a tire hat. Which was ridiculous.
All in all it was so cute. Everywhere you looked was another memory of the movie that made you say "Awwww".
There are rides in Cars Land- so don't worry, you thrill seeking crazies.
The rides were Luigi's Floating Tires, Racers, and the Tractors.
I didn't get a chance to even really see the Floating Tires, but it looked like a teacups type ride, but there were giant beach balls everywhere. Not sure what they're for, but they looked cute.
The tractors ride was really fun to do with my toddler sister who loves cars, but for myself it was a really fast ride for how long the line was.
Now for Racers... Oh goodness. The ride was very very fun and very very cute. It started out by taking a tour through radiator springs. You met sheriff and mater, went tractor tipping and drove down through the shops with the rest of the characters. Then at the end of the street you went to either Luigi's for some white walls or Ramone's for a new paint coat, then ended up side by side with another car. Then, you raced. It was high speed and high fun. It actually wasn't that fast, just fun. And yes, someone actually wins.
The only downfall with this ride is how many times it broke down. Several times while in line the ride would stop, and 3 or 4 times a day it would break completely. I was in the ride after about 30 seconds and an hour line (in the fast pass lane) and it completely broke down and we had to be escorted out of the ride. I was ready to punch someone in the face.
Also, the standby line, because it's so new, is pretty much always at least a
2 hour wait- sometimes up to 4. If you're going to California Adventure for the day, get there WHEN it opens and go STRAIGHT for the Cars Fast Pass distribution because they run out for the day by 9:00am. We got ours at about 8:30an and it was return at 6:00pm.
All in all, I loved the new Cars Land and will definitely be visiting again.
