Cars Land

We braved Cars Land before our passes were blocked for the summer.  It was very crowded and long lines but we still had fun.  That's the joy of having passes because we can go and just ride 3 rides and go home not feeling like it was a complete waste.  We didn't plan on doing anything else while we were there except explore the new area.  We didn't do as much as we would have liked but there were so many people.  We'll go back when it's not as new and try again. We did get to ride all 3 of the rides even though the wait times were long. 

 

 Mater's Junkyard Jamboree.  We only had to wait about 30 minutes for this and it was our first ride.  The detail in this entire area was awesome and this ride was no exception.  If you enlarge the picture you can see David in the tractor on the left taking a picture of me at the same time!

 Here is a pic of Radiator Springs.  It doesn't look super crowded because everyone is in line for the race cars!

 The Cozy Cone Motel.  We had our picture taken with Lightening McQueen.  I guess that picture is still on my camera.  Now that I have a new cell phone I use it for my pictures so much that I forget I have a camera. 

 Radiator Springs Racers.  Awesome ride.  Grace didn't like it though.  Once again, details!  I didn't appreciate the beauty of the desert but I do wake up to it every morning and look at it all day long.  It's not pretty at all!  I remember going with a friend to her parents house in the desert (this was before I lived in one) and I thought to myself, how can someone choose to live here?  UGH!!!  I'm here now!

 A girl and her daddy!

 I took a picture of the picture the ride took of us on Radiator Springs Racers.  Andrew and I are in the front row and David and Grace are in the back.  You can't even see Grace.  She was clinging to her daddy and leaning over on him!

 Hmmm, where should we go?  My kids have become very good at reading these maps. 

 Luigi's Tires.  You sit on a tire and the whole ride uses an air compressor to move around and you throw huge beach balls around or try to.  They are really hard to catch.  You lean in whichever direction you want to go.
