We're definitely hoping for a CARSland at DHS. Since our trip in July we don't go more than probably 3 days now without DS5 saying he wants to go back to Radiator Springs. As a few others have mentioned, we enjoyed our trip to California, but it was quite a bit more expensive than our WDW trips. That said, we're already planning to go back in probably 2 years, but instead of something like a week plus trip we'd take to WDW, it likely will be for 4 or 5 days.

This is some of the best news I have heard in a long time. DHS is due for a re-vamp It is my favorite park but it definitely needs some help. I love Cars so so so much and I love that AoA has a cars area I did my bridal shoot pictures there with the cars for my disney wedding. Also WDWNews today has an interesting article speculating other cool changes to DHS in case you have not read it here is the link: Check it out here

I feel like "full blown carsland" IS the big draw. RSR is just the one you have to wait in a long line for.

I'm hearing good things about the ride, but I'm hearing great things about the immersive themeing of the entire land.

Absolutely! As DW said, "this is so cool" the first night we were there. DS5 is convinced that all the cars from the movies live there, it's just some were inside while we visited. We had to keep checking back, because he thought for sure if we waited long enough we'd see Sarge and Fillmore at their "houses".

He even wanted to forego the walk back to the hotel one night and just stay at Sally's Cozy Cone with Lightning McQueen (can't say that was such a bad idea, as that night's walk back was brutal after standing in line for the flying tires).

The link you posted is false. The Chinese theater facade is public domain. There aren't any rights for it...

Also there will never be a monsters inc suspended coaster.

Lastly everything mentioned in the article is all the major rumors for the park in the last 10 or so years.

Ok we'll I read that about the Chinese theatre in like 5 other places

Yeah. So have I. It's not true. We had a very large discussion about it maybe 4-6 months ago. That was just a rumor started about why the hat has yet to be removed.

Not so happy about this. I don't see Cars Land as something with "lasting magic." I said the same thing about it when it was put into motion for DisneyLand. Cars simply is not a movie that is going to have much appeal 15-20 years from now and I see this as something else that will be removed and re-done in the future.

I would have loved to have seen something done with a full theme from some of Disney's more proven long term films or like others have said, an entire PIXAR land.

I know this is not definite, but still not so great in my opinion.

Things that deserve a bigger area (not necessarily an entire land):

- Alice in Wonderland. Seriously...who would not visit Wonderland!
- Aladdin
- Nightmare Before Christmas

Even Disney's own website states that "Cars" was not a top 30 Disney movie. IMDB has it outside of the top 50 Disney movies.

Young kids may enjoy it now...but, in my opinion...no proven staying power and a bad idea.

The theater was built in 1927 and predates the copyright law that would/might prevent Disney from using it's image. The architecture changes to copyright law, which began in 1976, didn't become fully realized until 1989.

I'm pretty sure the effective date was 1990 (as in any building built AFTER 1990 is covered), but it could have been 1985...I can't remember for sure. It was, definitely, after 1927.

Its so huge in merchandise though that I think it will have lasting power to a degree

See I knew we had this discussion already.

Thanks guys for backing me up on that. I knew it happened but I couldn't find the link.

Count me in as in favor of this. DHS really needs another "draw". Also, as others have said this may reduce congestion. At opening half the people will go right - the other half left!

I guess I do understand some folks feelings on duplication. But, I thank the stars they duplicated Soarin!

I think you also have to look at it from a Disney Corporate perspective (AKA Money):

• Cars Land is a proven winner that has helped DCA increase attendance. It should do the same at DHS.
• It is much cheaper to duplicate / tweek an existing concept then starting from scratch.

Also, if you look at the other E-Ticket rides at DHS they are really not suited for young kids. A neighbor of mine go's on the WDW pilgrimage once a year. This guy has two little ones. He tells me they usually stick to AK and MK as they have more things for the kids to enjoy. This could be a game changer for folks in this category.

To me it is a no-brainer!

Now, let's beg them to build "Australia Land" at AK (a suggestion I saw on a different thread) and we are all set!
