Loving all the DCA pics!!! Such fun! The Cars Land area is so neat!!! I love the billboards advertising other sections of the park!

Sorry I have neglecting things around here. Spending time catching up and it leaves me no time to update.

DCA was nice but very eclectic. More Carsland is coming up soon.

Thanks for the links! Finally caught up to you at DCA

I haven't been there or even seen many pictures, so I enjoyed hearing about the attractions and how they are similar and different to attractions in the World.

The Aladdin show sound and looks really fantastic.

Is it my imagination, or does it seem like DL has more recycling bins compared to DW? I like that they seem to be together in so many places. It seems like in DW you have to make more of an effort if you want to be waste-conscious.

I think there are more recycling bins. Probably because DL is under California standards where Reedy Creek "governs" WDW and can decide on its own what to do.

Aladdin was a great show. More Coming up.

Just reading along Pat!!!

Me too!!

Good Great I haven't lost you.

I am loving all of these pictures. I really want to go to DL

Do It!!! It was a nice trip and I can't wait to go back.

Sorry I have been very slow at updating here. Work has been insane and with a trip coming up soon, I need to try to get ahead there before I go. Then staying caught up on others TRs has taken some of the free time I have had.




Cars land at dusk

CA will do a tiny show, at dusk as they turn on the neon lights.
If you have seen the movie it will look familiar.

Cars Land at night

Carsland bathroom single ply again

Diaper changing area- see the toilet paper???

Great pics!!! Seeing them is making me excited to go to DL!!!!! Only 90 days!!! There's alot more planning involved for this trip. We are doing 4 days onsite and then moving to the LA area for 4 days!! So many things to do and see!! Did you get to do anything other than DL when you were there? Where did you eat in DL/DCA?

 

[MeMom]

Cars Land is certainly a draw for going to Disneyland. It looks very cool with all the lights.

Sorry work has been so busy. I am in the same boat at school - lots of testing and paperwork as we close out the next five weeks.

 

[Minnie&Nana]

Cars Land looks amazing! Reminds me of the many trips with my parents (waaay back in the mid 50's) when we drove from So.CA to Memphis or Chicago for our summer family visits. A couple of times we took the train and it was incredible as well.

You know how I love bathroom pics! Do not like the single ply...and why do 't they have a covered waste disposal but the diaper changing area.

Lots of catching up to to...fabulous photos, as always, Pat! . You must be getting excited about your trip - not long now!

Cars land looks amazing! Would love to take Owen there!

I only had 3 full days and 2 partial days. I did not venture away from DL at all but would like to spend more time in the area.

I did plan a meal at Carthay Circle for the World of Color pass but other than that ate CS. Don't miss Flo's V-8 it was great.

Also DTD now had an Earl of Sandwich. Lots of choices between DTD the Resorts and the parks.

Carsland was great!!! Probably the most immersive I've seen. So many details from the movies. The dork I am - I actually watched the movies before I went. I didn't get into to it the first couple of times when I had the opportunity to see it but I am so glad I gave it another try. So many little details in CL.

Carsland itself is based off the road trip on Rt 66. The whole diaper changing area had me facinated with the toilet paper hanging there. Sort of makes sense but have not seen it anywhere else but CA.

I am getting excited but so distracted with life and work. I am hoping to open the suitcase tongiht to start throwing in things I only need for the trip.

I am worried about a last minute flurry on my part and forgetting something important.

Cars land looks amazing! Would love to take Owen there!

If Owen loves Cars you all will love Carsland. So immersive and lots of fun.

I do have all the ride photos from all the different rides coming up soon but I took a bazillion pictures in Carsland alone.

Oh yes, that is why I find it so appealing! Do they have the TeePee's? There is (was) a TeePee motel on RT 66 ...we never stayed there but drove past every trip.

I think what is weird about the TP nar the changing area is that there is no sink and covered trash. Otherwise it does make sense.

Loved the pix of Cars Land at night !! There's a Flo's Cafe on the Dream. Maybe this time next week I will be grabbing a bite there !!!!!!!

I think the TeePees became the Cozy Cones. At CA Cozy Cones ended up being concessions - at AoA in WDW the Cozy Cones were around the pools as cabanas.

I agree a sink and covered trash would make sense.

I hope you get to ... Glad you are feeling better and should be good to go!!!

Great pictures of my favorite home park. I hope you eventually got to ride and enjoyed Radiator Springs Racers. They seem to have trouble with that ride often. We have never experienced it, but heard lots of stories of people who waited and hourish only to have a broken down ride.

Glad to have you here.

I enjoyed your favorite park. I did ride RSR and did 2 Early magic mornings there. It seems like that ride is much like Toy Story Mania when it first openeed at DHS. It would not make park openeing very often but at least You were told and could not wait in tline and waste your time there. I guess the comunication about that is what got me and the overall "oh well" attitude from the CMs.

I am looking forward to going back. Hopefully those bugs got worked out.

 

[Captain_Oblivious]

Cars Land looks pretty awesome at night. Can't go wrong with lots of neon. Or so I've heard.

So...are we getting on Radiator Springs Racers soon?

 

[KatMark]

Pat, you continue to crack me up. You've got me taking pictures of garbage cans, but I'm not sure I can take a picture of toilet paper.

Carsland looks so awesome at night...love the photos.

Carsland bathroom single ply again

hopefully your camera does not make a loud click noise when you take a picture otherwise whoevers toes those are in the stall next to you might be wondering what was soooooo good in your stall that you had to take a picture of it.

I was thinking the same exact thing!
