Another kind of "Cars Land" open at Walt Disney World !

We've spent almost the whole last week with video reviews of the awaited Cars Land and may be you thought that "that was it with Cars, let's talk about something else". Well, not really, as another kind of Cars "land" - if i can say - just opened at Walt Disney World! Yesterday, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort opened its "Cars" wing and brings “Cars” to life with 480 new family suites and a fully themed wing and pool.

Sure, this Cars wing theming doesn't have the splendor of DCA Cars Land and its stunning Ornament Valley but i think they did a pretty good job as you will see on the pictures and videos below - and the swimming pool looks great!



The Cozy Cone Motel anchors the “Cars” courtyard with its orange cone-shaped cabanas inviting guests to kick back and relax at the pool - which looks great - near Lightning McQueen, Mater, Sarge and other characters from the popular film.











Let's have a look inside the themed rooms...





And now, let's do a traveling inside the new wing, thanks to PopSong1 who did the two great videos below.

Sneak Peek Onboard Video of Radiator Springs Racer

Disney Parks has released the first onboard video of Radiator Springs Racer! Cool down, you won't see all the ride but just a few seconds of the ride when the vehicle is racing outside. Still, this quick sneak peek "of what to expect inside the mountain range" looks pretty cool!




They've also released another interesting video showing the recording by song writer and composer Bruno Coon and the band “Billy Hill and the Hillbillies” of one song that will be heard as background music throughout the town of Radiator Springs in Cars Land. Sounds good!

Cars Land Shops Artwork

Disney Parks has released three renderings showing the shops in the upcoming and highly awaited Cars Land. Above, the concept-art for the Radiator Springs Curios shop where you will find "must-haves pins and Vinylmation themed to all things “Cars,” or antenna toppers, window clings, license plate frames and magnets".

Below the artwork for the Ramone’s House of Body Art: "The Champion Custom Speed Shop collection is sure to meet your need for speed with signature pin-stripe style and laid-back look which appears on a variety of shirts for work and play, hats and accessory items."



Last but not least, the barracks of Sarge’s Surplus Hut where you’ll find "a broad selection of offerings featuring Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater and other classic “Cars” characters."



Meanwhile they did something pretty funny at DCA, i.e they've buried in Buena Vista Plaza a time capsule containing items specific to the park which will be opened by Disneyland Resort cast members only in 2037. They did this to mark the construction of Buena Vista Street and as you will see on the video there will be lot of goodies inside the time capsule for the DLR cast members in 2037!
