Radiator Springs

Our first stop (after getting a fast pass of course!) was Cars Land!!

Gracin was LOVING it!  They recreated Radiator Springs in life size!   It was really neat.  We had so much fun just walking around looking at everything.

Gracin met Lightning McQueen and Mater twice!! We went back after dark and hung out in Radiator Springs again until the park closed.

They were also lucky enough to ride the Radiator Springs Racers even though Gracin wasn't tall enough.  We put inserts in his shoes but he was BARELY too short.  There were some problems with the ride shutting down through out the day.  So when they finally go in line, the crew were just trying to get people through the line as fast as possible and never checked Gracin's height!  Gracin said "  I got to ride the red car!  Lightning McQueen is fast!" I guess they won the race and were excited about that!

Here they are waiting in line for their FIRST RIDE or the day!!!  Can you tell they are excited:)  We rode Luigi's Tires while we waited for our turn to ride Radiator Springs Racers. 

This ride above us was our favorite.  It's called Mator's Junkyard Jamboree.  We were able to all ride it twice.  Both kids were laughing and smiling the whole ride.  I even thought that was the best ride.

Hazel was a good sport.  She had to spend most of the time here in her new stroller in the shade!  I also held her in the sling a lot. 

Gracin was excited to meet Mater but when we got close, the loud noises he makes were scaring him.  Mater talks to the kids and it sounds like his motor is on.  The guy working there asked Mater if he could hold his breath for a bit!  (they turned off the sounds) Gracin was then able to go and stand next to him.  Mater still moved his eyes and wiggles back and forth.  They treated these cars like they were people, it was so cool!  When I asked the kids about their favorite parts of Disneyland Gracin said "Say hi to Mater!"

Here he is with Lightning -who was also holding his breath.  The cars say stuff directly to the kids in the same voices from the movies.  When Gracin was scared to go up, he said "Don't worry buddy" or "lets get a picture!"
