Disney Early Preview Part II: Cars Land

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! The boyfriend and I just got back from Disneyland again, but this time we just went to CA Adventure. Had dinner then spent most of the night at Cars Land just soaking everything in again and rode Luigi's Flying Tires. I saw pictures from yesterday's opening ceremony and from some friends who went and it was absolute madness!!! The Radiator Springs Racers wait time went up to almost 5 to 6 hours!!! That made my spending of $50 to go in a week early so much sweeter. Anyway, let's relive my time there from last week.

So after Buena Vista street, we exited and wound up right in front of the Carthay Circle Restaurant. We were so excited to see Cars Land and everything else that we forgot to check where to go in from. First we went by a bug's land, nope dead end, then we went around to where Ghirardelli is and still a dead wend, so we went back to  bug's land to check again, and yuppp, still a dead end. We went back pass Ghirardelli to Pacific Wharf and ta-da!!!

There it is! hahaha

Disney Early Preview Part I: Buena Vista Street

Hi everyone! Oh man I did it again... It's been a while since I've posted anything >< Remember when I was complaining that work has been boring? I shouldn't have said anything... Because now I actually have a lot of work to do! Also the weather in SoCal has been getting warmer and warmer, which is awesome except for the fact that it is FREEZING inside my office building! Which results in me getting these really bad headaches... Also my weekends have been pretty full lately and it leaves me tired afterwards.

BUT!!! Last weekend has been the most awesome one in a while. If you're a true Disney freak like I am, you know that Cars Land, the new land inside California Adventure Park, is about to open, on June 15, 2012 to be precise. But if you're an annual pass holder, Disney gave you the opportunity to experience Cars Land and Buena Vista Street a week earlier than the grand opening for a price of $50 (There's also one for $75 that includes a private showing of World of Color, and a $500 one that includes a mean at the new Carthay Circle Restaurant). So being a true Disney freaks that we are, the boyfriend and our Disney freak newlywed friends jumped at the chance. We bought the tickets the day we got the email.

At first I thought wow, I'm paying Disney even more money to experience something I already paid for, but then I realized how crowded it would be the first few months, and that will probably kill the good memories we could have had. I remember when the new Star Tours ride opened last year, I went on opening weekend, got there before the park opened in the morning, and we still had to wait about an hour. We came back later on in the day and wait time was 2 hours, and it was like that for a couple of months. So I figured this was a good decision.

Boy was I wrong... it wasn't a good decision... It was a GREAT decision!!! It was seriously the best $50 we've all ever spent! Since this is going to be a really long post, I'm going to split it by two. First up, Buena Vista Street.

They're bringing Oswold back since it's his era haha
