Neon Time ---In Radiator Springs


It's time to light the lights in Radiator Springs.
I still haven't been on the Radiator Springs Racers...It was down when we got there....But that didn't get me down as I took in Radiator Springs at Night under the Neon Light.






This is a cool angle of some of the Radiator Springs signage.



Flo's looks amazing at night

No Vacancy!!   But a lot of good treats and snacks and character photo ops.  This is your spot in Carsland for photo Ops with Mater and Lightning McQueen as well as tasty treats.  Each cone serves up something different:  Ice Cream --Pretzels  Breakfast in a bread cone and flavored popcorn.   Can't wait to try something next time I'm out there.

Carsland Part 2: Luigi's House of Tires



Looking at this ride....I just don't get it.   It takes up a lot of space and doesn't really look like it is that much fun.  I'll wait to pass final judgement when I go some day go on this ride with the kids, but at first glance.....It doesn't look like something that is going to be around too long.





The mountain range in the background is modeled after car tail fins from different models of cars.

Buena Vista Street: The Little Details--Tributes to a time gone by

The attention to detail makes Disney Special.  In the new shops in Buena Vista Street it is some of the details that make it extra cool and special.  When we went out to check out the new stuff the other day we never even went on the new rides in Carsland... We had a great time just checking out all the new stuff and taking in all the attention to detail that Disney pours into its parks. Inside the 
Elias & Company store on Buena Vista street you can find.  Manequins that show some throw back fashions....
