Cars Land - Coming Soon!
Blending the magic of Disney stories and characters, the legendary adventure and excitement of Route 66, and California's celebrated car culture, Cars Land recreates the memorable town of Radiator Springs just as it appeared in the Disney•Pixar animated classic, Cars.

You're invited to a town built for, and by, cars. All the locals are home including Lightning McQueen, Sally, Mater, Doc and their friends. The whole city is recreated in loving detail - complete with three new attractions. You'll float on Luigi's Flying Tires, dance to Mater's Junkyard Jamboree and rocket through the desert on Radiator Springs Racers.

Buena Vista Street - Coming Soon!
When a young and energetic Walt Disney stepped off the train from Kansas City in 1923, he discovered a bustling Los Angeles filled with pedestrian boulevards, charming shops, tantalizing restaurants and shining Red Car Trolleys. Buena Vista Street - the new entrance to Disney California Adventure Park - sends you back in time to an idealized version of a city that has always been a beacon of bright optimism and new opportunity.

The Carthay Circle Theatre, where Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered, will anchor the new plaza. It's the perfect place to start your own California adventure!

The Little Mermaid ~ Ariel's Undersea Adventure
"This is the first time you're going to be able to ride through the experience of The Little Mermaid. We want to make this a very immersive attraction to where we're actually to take people under the sea. It's mostly just good old fashion theatrical story telling that we're using. We also have some new special effect technologies that we want to utilize here…The Little Mermaid is going to be an incredible experience." - Interviews with Walt Disney Imagineering.

Here is a video with a backstage look of the new attraction!
