( Updated June 15, 2022.)įor Summer 2022, we’re revisiting this guide to Cars Land with some fresh tips & tricks in honor of the 10th Anniversary of Cars Land! It’s hard to believe that Disney California Adventure 2.0 is now a decade old, existing almost as long as the original incarnation of the park. This guide covers saving time in line for Radiator Springs Racers, what to eat, secret spots & moments, and more in this truly magical area of DCA. It’s beautiful riding again at night.Cars Land at Disney California Adventure has solidified its place as one of the most popular theme park lands at Disneyland Resort. By then it will be totally dark, and a great time to jump in the Single Rider Line for Radiator Springs Racers. One plan would be to watch the lighting, then eat some great comfort food at Flo’s V-8 Cafe. Whether you see the lighting or not, it’s worth swinging through Cars Land again in the evening to see the neon all lit up and the glow of the Cadillac Range behind Radiator Springs Racers. The Cadillac Range at dusk, from the Radiator Springs Racers lineĬars Land has some gorgeous, immersive details, and I’d recommend also visiting earlier in the day to take them all in. It would be even better if they could do it when it was a lot darker, but I imagine the lawyers would object to people tripping in the gloom while they waited for the big moment.” Instead, it’s a tiny treat for those in the know. Or they could have made it a Big Deal Show that would have been crowded and crazy and confusing, maybe a little like the short projection show on It’s a Small World during Christmas. Disney could have gone two other ways - just flip on the neon at a set time and thereyago. I love that it’s a little, unpublished detail. People stopped and watched, if only for a moment. “It was really cool to finally see it happen. This is what I wrote the day after I saw the neon lighting: Right at the time I had been told, the familiar “Sh-Boom” song from the movie came over the speakers and all of the neon signs came on one at a time, just as they did in Cars.
A few other in-the-know fans were also hanging around the area in the middle of the street, and it was obvious we were all waiting for the same event. It still appeared fairly bright out to my eyes, but the sun had already set. The night I finally saw the neon lighting, I had the authoritative time from a Cast Member and positioned myself at the base of Cars Land’s main drag. You will need to ask a entertainment Cast Member in the area for the official time, which they have written down. The general consensus is roughly five minutes past official sunset. I eventually learned that there is a specific, planned, time each night … you just have to know who to ask. On my second attempt, I arrived while I thought it was still light enough, and the neon was already on. The first time I tried to see it, I got impatient, got in line for Luigi’s Flying Tires (now Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters), and missed it. I wouldn’t design a touring plan around it. It simply glows on, every night just after sunset.īecause it’s unpublished, and sunset time changes nightly, it’s easy to miss. Disneyland doesn’t list it in the Time Guide, put up signs, or announce that “The Cars Land Lighting will begin in five minutes” like it does for parades or fireworks. I first heard about this phenomenon on a fan message board. If you know when to watch, you can see the Cars Land neon lighting. Without fanfare or published schedule, a magical moment from Cars comes to life as the area’s neon lights flicker on, just as in the movie. Something unexpected happens each evening in Disney California Adventure’s Cars Land.
