Hello Jamie!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! It is a pleasure to answer your first question.
You must be thrilled about all the great plans you are making for your upcoming visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. Meeting beloved characters is also a very important activity for our 6-year-old daughter, so I always make sure that we get to see at least a couple of her favorites.
If your son loves Cars just as much as you say he does, then he will definitely have an amazing time meeting with the one and only Cruz Ramirez. Our favorite unconventional race trainer is on a summer trip visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios, so you can currently stop by Pixar Place to see her. We are not sure of how long she will be available, but I suggest that you keep checking the calendar for Disney’s Hollywood as you visit approaches. Updates are always happening, so you can also follow the Disney Parks Blog to check if more information about Cruz Ramirez and possible plans for fall are released.
Moms Panel tip: I do not know where you will be staying, but have you checked the amazing Cars Family Suites at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort? They are absolutely beautiful and the area where they are located recreates Radiator Springs.
Thank you so much for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Jamie. I hope this helps you while planning and that you have a magical visit.
See ya real soon,
Thiana
