On The Itinerary: Cars Land at Disneyland

Disneyland Park

Last night we were watching the “Disneyland” episode of Modern Family and at one point (probably at the first glimpse of their manicured, floral Mickey Mouse) I turned to my husband and said, “I want to go to Disneyland. I’ve never been!” I failed to mention how many times I’ve been to Disney WORLD in this conversation. To tell the truth, growing up in Florida, I’d been to Disney World so many times that the last time I went (in my 20s) I decided I was done until I had my own children. Now that our son is almost 2 1/2, we’ve been talking about it and we’re about ready to make the trip to Orlando, despite the 4 hour car ride. But then we saw it…the commercial during Modern Family announcing Cars Land opening on June 15th! My husband and I just turned to each other in silence with jaws dropped and a sparkle in our eyes. CARS LAND!!! Our son, Rocco, can’t get enough of the Cars movie. Shocking, I know…isn’t it a requirement for little boys now? He has 3 Lightening McQueens, multiple PJs, t-shirts, a booster chair, a figurine set, the Mater Golf Set, Mater’s Tall Tales, and has seen the movie god knows how many times. So in turn, seeing how much joy this brings him, we love it too. Here’s a glimpse of what’s to come. We’re most excited about the rides: Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree, Luigi’s Flying Tires, and Radiator Springs Racers.

No matter which park we decide on visiting first, it probably won’t be for 6 months or so…baby #2 arrives in 7 weeks! My vote though? Disneyland. Now, I just have to find the equivalent of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa in California.
