Carsland!

At first, I was going to take Michael to visit the new Cars Land on opening day, but that would have been too chaotic. So instead, we decided to go a few days later thinking it would have been less hectic (not really), but we wanted to be one of its first week's visitors ever.

Michael was clearly tired on the ride to Disney, but he was so excited to see Cars Land!

He hasn't seen more than five minutes of Cars the movie, but he's already a big fan. First ride, Tow Mater's Junkyard. Surprisingly it was only about a half hour wait, and thankfully the line was fully shaded. They did a great job planning out the lines.

He didn't want to stand too close to Mater because he thought he was gonna get run over. This ride whips you around and around!

Next up was Radiator Springs Racers. After seeing that Michael didn't meet the minimum height requirement AND 240 minute wait time, we walked away from the ride. But as we were debating on what to do, a kind and generous lady handed me her fast passes. Our crazy idea of coming to Cars Land during it's opening week was like it was meant to be after all. We were on the ride in less than 30 minutes, and it was so awesome!

We waited about 100 minutes to get on Luigi's Tires. I'm surprised Michael waited in line for so long...it's a good lesson of patience in my opinion. (We did it once, but I'm not too sure if we'll wait that long ever again. lol) He was such a good sport.

It was our turn to get on the hovercraft...when Michael had an emergency potty break.

We had a great time on the ride, but it's pretty hard to maneuver AND try to reach for these humongous beach balls.

Anyleis, Carmel, Jenny and Dennis joined us for some fun as well.

Way to go, Disney! You did an incredible job bringing Cars Land to life!
