    What are the odds of Radiator Springs Racers being open September 11th. I am going for the first time ever this year for my birthday/honeymoon and just found out it is going to be closed in august. What are the realistic odds of the ride being open by then

    Hi Christopher! Welcome to planDisney! Thanks so much for stopping by to send us your question!

    Spending your birthday and honeymoon at The Happiest Place on Earth will be icing on the cake! Cars Land is one of my favorite lands at Disney California Adventure Park, and I think you're going to love it! I just checked the Daily Events Schedule, and Radiator Springs is scheduled to be closed for refurbishment through at least September 20th. While sometimes refurbishments are finished ahead of schedule, it is unlikely that this attraction will be open for your visit. I'm sorry. I know this isn't the news you were hoping for. 

    There are many other attractions along Route 66 where you can get your kicks! Because your visit falls during Halloween Time, I highly recommend visiting Cars Land for the amazing Halloween decorations. The attraction overlays, Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween and Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree are also not-to-be-missed. Be sure to also pick up complimentary buttons for your celebrations. You can find them at City Hall on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland Park, and Guest Services at Disney California Adventure Park. 

    Christopher, I hope this information helps with your planning. Congratulations on your Happily Ever After! If you have more questions before you arrive, please feel free to send them to us at planDisney. We can't wait for you to be our guest, and we would love to help!

    Wishing you magic,
    Lisa
