Thanks for that, I couldn't remember from our last trip how far in advance we booked one for RSR but that makes sense. Thanks again.
Thanks for the reminder about that. I'm starting to plan a DL trip and just checked RotR. ILLs are available less than one hour out!
Yes I feel like when we were there in late April 22 all LL's & ILL's were available pretty close to the time I was requesting them and the crowd levels were probably moderate. This time we will be there the first week of December so I am hoping the crowds will either be pretty much the same or hopefully even a little bit less, seeing as it is the week straight after Thanksgiving.
That is sooo cool. I love a good Porsche at any time, in fact my previous greyhound (RIP) was called Porsche hence my username. She was a gorgeous brindle girl, rescued through our GAP program here in Australia. She suffered a serious injury whilst in training so was placed in the program and we adopted her. I now have another black greyhound, her name is Neffie (named after Queen Nefertiti) as she is so regal looking. Thanks for the great photos, can't wait to meet Lightning McQueen and the gang again. Mater's ride is one of my favourites. I just love the sound track, it makes me laugh and I believe there will be a Xmas make over when we are there. Who doesn't love the idea of Mater singing Xmas carols.
How fun! Thanks for posting those photos, bfrosty. Good on Porsche for having a sense of humor and displaying that delightful car.
I saw a post the other day from someone who said the Sha Boom lighting show was a waste of time. I love that little show. All those gorgeous neon lights, they totally change the way Carsland looks and the show is just one of those little Disney touches that adds to the atmosphere of what is already a wonderful land. I can't wait to see it decked out in all its holiday glory.
I saw that posting, too. I agree with you: it's a very cute tradition. Just the sort of "extra" we expect from Disney. (I know we don't always get them...)
I wouldn't call it a waste of time, but I can see where it might seem underwhelming compared to how it's talked about by some. And I love all the little moments and touches we find and experience at Disney.
I can see that, but also, IMO, Flo's isn't the best place to watch it from. I think it's much more fun from the entrance to Cars Land, where you can see the whole street light up area by area, with the Cadillac Range in the distance.I wouldn't call it a waste of time, but I can see where it might seem underwhelming compared to how it's talked about by some.

We caught it for the first time recently while at Flo's and I think based on the hype, we thought it might be a bit more dramatic or something. We looked up a little after it first started, went oh, this must be the Sha Boom lighting and then that was sort of it. I'm thinking perhaps if we catch it another time when it's darker out (I know sunset is sunset, but summer sunset is different lol), maybe it will have more of an effect on us.
So maybe just not living up to expectations based on what you sometimes read
I think it’s cute also, I wish they waited until it was slightly darker though. It’s still bright enough at sunset where the lights aren’t super visible
Thanks, that's good to keep in mind. We have Magic Keys so are at the parks all the time, but not always at sunset except when we're doing planned overnights. We just haven't made the effort to be at Cars Land right then, so will often miss it or just catch a little bit as we're walking through. If we try to time it in the future, I'll remember to go for a looking down the street view.
