Hiya, Trevor, and welcome to planDisney!
“Life could be a dream, life could be a dream!" That melody always pops up in my brain when I think of
Cars Land. It’s also the perfect song to describe a magical day at the Disneyland Resort. I’m excited to provide you with some tips on how to catch the lighting ceremony as it happens!
While there is no set time for when the neon lights will turn on, you can typically count on it to happen around sunset. I recommend checking the sunset time on your phone and showing up about 5-10 minutes early to get a picture-perfect spot.
Bonus Tip: Turn this moment into a whole experience by grabbing a quick snack from
Flo’s V8 Café before you find your viewing spot. I’ve heard great things about the Fast Track Loaded Fries, and you can’t go wrong with Flo’s Classic Shake! If you’re interested in all of the food offerings at Disneyland that are part of

Trevor, I hope this helps and that you have the best time during your visit to Disney California Adventure. Please come back and see us again here at planDisney if you have any additional questions!
Sending you faith, trust, and pixie dust,
Karmeen
