Cars Land Part 2

Cars Land Part 2


Last weekend we got early entry tickets to visit California Adventure an hour before the park opened. We got there around 7:20a. There weren't any lines to get into the park but there was already a 60 minute line for the Radiator Springs Racers ride! There were only about 10 people in the fast pass line so we decided to get the fast pass instead. The fast pass line opened right at 8am so we stood in line for about 30 minutes. Last time we got there a little past 9a and all the fast passes were gone! Crazy! 

Before getting in line, I went and got myself a breakfast scramble cone. 
cone #3: verde scramble cone - i absolutely love the taste of the soft pretzel bread.
they also have a bacon scramble cone. these are only available during breakfast.

no line for a picture :)

Last time we didn't get a chance to go on Luigi's Flying Tires because the wait was down for most of the day and when it finally went back up, it was a 75 minute wait so we went on it this time.

even their railings have tires. attention to detail is everywhere in cars land.

Because we are the fatties that we are, we were already getting hungry so we decided 
to check out the breakfast menu at Flo's V8 Cafe. 

cars waffles come in the breakfast kids meal. we also ordered the brioche french toast
(which pretty much tastes like the creme brulee french toast at julienne)


After that, we decided to visit the preview center.
finally found a good version of this picture inside the preview center.
the little short film was super cute! i would highly recommend visiting if you haven't!

thought this was pretty awesome


We hadn't been on Toy Story Mania in awhile so we decided to go there next. 

definitely losing my touch :( can't even get the cat anymore!



Finally, it was time to head back to Radiator Springs for some racing! Gotta love that fast & furious lol. 
photobombers in the background lol. fast pass line is awesome! waited less than 15 minutes.

on the ride!

went to luigi's tires

about to race! 

tony spent most of his time during the race portion making that face since
we didn't know where the camera was lol

enjoying a drink while watching the racers ride. i do enjoy a little people watching on occasion.
tried both of the beers at flo's v8 cafe. i liked the darker one more.

Vroom Vroom!

Our First Cars Land Experience

This past weekend (June 30 - July 1) Tony and I decided to check out Cars Land for the first time!

tram picture (I subscribe to Birchbox and for the month of June, I was sent this headband from Modcloth. It retails for $14 from Modcloth. I decided to try it out and step a little out of my comfort zone)

i spy one of a bajillion hidden mickeys? lol





After the racers ride we were ready for some grub so we took Judy's advice and went to get the chili and the pomegranate limeade.

pomegranate limeade con vodka lol


So Luigi's Flying Tires were down so we decided to wait for Mater's Junkyard Jamboree. The wait wasn't too long (maybe 30 minutes tops). It's similar to the Lady Bug ride in Bugs Land combined with a carnival type ride. 







We were pretty much done with California Adventures after checking out the new Buena Vista Street stuff so we headed to Disneyland in search of more food lol. 

no line at the corn dog stand! O_O


mickey shaped beignets for dessert

riding the tip of mandy monorail ;)



legos!


The lady at the corn dog stand recommended that we check out Cars Land after the sun goes down so we went back to California Adventure and checked out the neighboring Bug's Land. There were quite a few rides I haven't been on. 

                        






photo-op of cars land at night time



We decided to check out the Mad T Party.








Day 2! I really wanted to go on the racer's ride again but the wait was 120 minutes so we decided against it.

We'll be heading back soon before my pass expires! Can't wait to go on racers again!
