Welcome to those of you joining me from Rolling with the Magic and those of you just hopping aboard. I am the 3rd stop on our Magical Blogorail.
Season’s Speedings from Cars Land!
One of the unexpected highlights of our Avenger’s Super Heroes Half Marathon Weekend road trip was the electric holiday theming throughout Disneyland Resort. From Sleeping Beauty’s Winter Castle to Olaf’s Frozen Ice Rink to World of Color- Winter Dreams, each area of the parks was custom-built for maximum Christmas enjoyment. Beyond compare, the spot that really revved our engines was Cars Land in Disney California Adventure Park. Innovative and ingeniously-themed, every inch of Radiator Springs brought a smile to our “grill.” Come start your engines and take a spin through Route 66 with us!

I hope you can appreciate the top-level detail and theming of each destination along your trip; the Imagineer elves really outdid themselves in Monument Valley- not a clunker in the bunch. Come jump-start your holiday at Cars Land and have a very merry Carsmas!!
Thank you for joining me today. Your next stop on the Magical Blogorail Loop is Ashley Aspires.
Here is the map of our Magical Blogorail should you happen to have to make a stop along the way and want to reboard:
Thanks for sharing this! We've never been to Disneyland and now I'm thinking we've got to get out there for the holiday season so we can see Carsmas!! It looks amazing!! My son wants to know if there was a Lightning McQueen Christmas tree?
While I expected Haunted Mansion Holiday, a Frozen-bedazzled Sleeping Beauty Castle and a Christmas-themed "it's a small world," I was completely unprepared for the Cars Land makeover. It showcases Disney details at their best. Sadly, Lightning McQueen doesn't have his own official digs or tree, but he does roll out for photos and a dance party!
Oh my gosh – this looks like SO much fun! Between all the help I got from pictures for my post last week and now your post about Carsmas, I'm really itching to get out to Disneyland. Hmmm . . .let me see? How can I make this happen?!
Haha, Heidi you sound like me, except I need to get to Florida! 🙂 Can we have a MB meet up at both parks? LOL!
I never thought I would get to Disneyland during the holidays Heidi- runDisney made it happen!!!
I love Camille's idea- I sense a Coast to Coast swap might be in the works! 😉
I am so glad this was a Magical trip for you and your son! Everything looks so amazing, I want to visit Disneyland now more than ever!! Thanks for letting us be a part of your Avenger's Super Hero weekend!!
The Disney Holidays plusses really made this trip a dream come true Donna; my son has been talking about Haunted Mansion Holiday since it opened 13 years ago. It was worth the wait!!
I love Carsland anyway but at Christmas time it really takes on a clever new shine! I love the snowflakes made of wrenches and the air filter garlands. Do you have a favorite Carsmas decor?
Clever and inspired for sure Julie. My son's favorite was the filter garlands you mentioned. I loved the hubcap tree. (With the Olaf snowcar a close second!)
Christmas in Cars Land always gets our holiday gears going. The Imagineers do an amazing job. I think my favorite is the white wall garlands hanging above. Every detail is magical. Did you bring home any holiday hot rod treats?
I wish Camille! We were watching our pennies, but I now wish I had bought a motorized memento to stick in my son's stocking. ANOTHER reason to go back during the holidays! 😉
