Ka-Ciao Sarah!
Welcome to planDisney! Your first visit to the Happiest Place on Earth is coming up so soon and I bet you're getting excited and counting down the days! I'm thrilled for all the wonder and fun you're about to experience!
I'm so glad you pumped the brakes and stopped by with your question. I can understand how you'd want to know whether or not the neon lights will be on for
Radiator Springs Racers during your upcoming visit, Sarah. Travelers like you always look forward to a rest on Route 66. Radiator Springs Racers is a well-loved attraction, and it seems everyone and their tractor is curious (me included!) about when the pit crew will be done so we can bring home the Piston Cup.
According to the
Daily Events Schedule for Disneyland Resort, it does look like Radiator Springs Racers is scheduled to be closed for refurbishment during your visit, unfortunately. I'm so sorry, Sarah! Dates are released for attraction closures six weeks out but it's important to know that they can change at any time (even day-of!). I encourage you to check back to the Daily Events Schedule on the Disneyland website for any updates. Not only will it provide updated closure information, but much more including park hours, entertainment offerings, and any events that may be occurring during your visit. Make sure you've selected your specific dates and park at the top.
You should know, Sarah, that
Cars Land is so much more than just one attraction! It's honestly one of my favorite areas in all of Disneyland Resort - where Guests can, quite literally, cruise right into the magical town of Radiator Springs on the brand-new paved road. You may even see Lightning McQueen himself! It's pure magic.
Tip: On the evening you're in California Adventure, Sarah, make sure you are in Cars Land, near the entrance to
Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters, at exactly sunset for
the most magical moment! Trust me.
Oh, but not so fast! Before I zoom away from a fellow Cars fan, Sarah, you'll want to make sure
Paint the Night is at the top of your priorities list while visiting the Disneyland Resort. You'll surely be wowed for the entire parade, but especially when you spot a Special Guest. Check the
Daily Events Schedule for show times! (See how important that Daily Events Schedule is?)
Even though I know it's disappointing about Radiator Springs Racers, Sarah, I know you and your friends will have so much fun immersed in the Disneyland magic. If any other questions come up, like maybe more tips and recommendations for first time Guests, don't hesitate to
reach out again!
I'm so very excited for you. May all your Disneyland dreams come true.
Warmest wishes,
McCayla
