The Radiator Springs Racer Ride will be one of three new rides in Cars Land at Disney's California Adventure Park.

The ride will consist of two cars holding up to six riders - each car racing through similar scenes from the film.

Interesting Facts:

Cadillac Mountain range upon completion will be 440 feet long,
125 feet at its highest point,
280,000 square feet of rock work and
23,000 pieces of steel that weigh 4,000 tons.

Halloween Treat for guests visiting the Magic Kingdom Park

For the very 1st time, Mickey will be talking with guests in the Magic Kingdom Park located at Town Square Theater.  Although this testing is open to a very few number of guests -- this is AMAZING!

We hope that it is a success and that Mickey finds his voice in California at Disneyland.

What great memories this will make for children and their parents :).

"Celebrate a Dream Come True" parade with a FastPass?

Hey Duffy, it looks like Mickey is thinking about distributing FastPasses for the parades at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.  This is a similar concept already in place for World of Color at California Adventure.

The trial experiment started yesterday and will in force through mid November.

The FastPasses will be distributed by cast members  -- allowing guests access to prime parade viewing spots.
