Hi there, Amanda!
Thanks for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel with your question. As an avid Character fan and collector of autographs on my Disneyland Resort vacations, I love that you have already started thinking about who you are going to meet. While you can
meet Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater, and possibly some other familiar residents of Radiator Springs in Cars Land of Disney California Adventure Park, unfortunately these Characters do not sign autographs. Definitely keep your ears open when you meet these fun cars, though, as they do have some interesting things to say. The Cars Character greeting location in front of the Cozy Cone Motel is also a common location for Disney PhotoPass photographers, so make sure you link your photos to the
Disneyland app to download later.
While in Cars Land, take some time to slowly enjoy the atmosphere down Route 66 and appreciate the many details that make this immersive land so special. We always make sure to take a pit stop at Flo's V8 Cafe for some delicious bites to refuel, or we grab a creative cone-coction at the Cozy Cone Motel. This land is also home to three great attractions: Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters, Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, and Radiator Springs Racers. I personally love that as the sun sets, you really feel like you are stepping into the movie as bright neon and beautiful lighting shine across the whole land. Because of this, I always recommend experiencing Cars Land during the day and evening.
I hope this helps. Kachow!
