Hi, Karla!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thanks so much for the question about celebrating your son’s birthday at Cars Land. My son is a big fan of
Cars too, so we spend a lot of time there!
I’m glad you mentioned Flo’s V8 Café. I think it’s one of the best casual restaurants in Disney California Adventure Park, and we frequent it often. You’ll find generously-portioned home style dishes, and your son can even enjoy his meal out of a Lightning McQueen car instead of a regular plate! If you want to top off your meal with a sweet treat, there are tasty fruit pies and creamy shakes to choose from. The fun décor is inspired by the classic drive-up diners along Route 66 and features a spectacular view of cars speeding by on the Radiator Springs Racers attraction! While you enjoy your meal and the view, be sure to pay special attention to the Cadillac Mountain Range in Ornament Valley—the six peaks of the mountain range represent Cadillac tail fins from the years 1957-1962!
Be sure to stop by Guest Relations to pick up a complimentary celebration button for your birthday boy so he will receive well wishes from Cast Members throughout your visit. Another fun (and free) activity is to collect the full set of six Cars Land buttons available at Disney California Adventure Park. Cast Members may put your son’s trivia knowledge to the test to earn each one!
I hope this helps, Karla, and that you and your family enjoy a perfectly pixie-dusted visit to the Disneyland Resort! Please feel free to write back with any other questions you may have as your planning continues.
Wishing you magic,
Courtney
