From Arthur Levine, your Guide to Theme Parks
I attended the grand reopening of Disney California Adventure last week, which was wonderful. I have a lot to share with you. This week, I'm going to focus on Cars Land, the highlight of the huge expansion.

A Road Trip through Cars Land
Let's start with a photo tour and running commentary of Cars Land. See the highly photogenic new land and learn more about Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, Luigi's Flying Tires (which, unfortunately, I need to let some air out of), Flo's V8 Café, and the incredible rockwork of Ornament Valley.

Imagineers Rev Up Disney California Adventure
After five years of anticipation, the centerpiece attraction of Disney California Adventure's radical makeover, Radiator Springs Racers, finally debuted last week. It was worth the wait. If you get the chance to motor west, take Disney's way, it's the highway that's the best. Read my review of the glorious E-Ticket attraction based on the Pixar film, Cars, and get your kicks on the mythical Route 66.

Steve Jobs and Cars Land
When Steve Jobs passed away, I wrote about the ties that bound the Apple visionary to the Walt Disney Company. That connection was driven home last week when I had the chance to sit down with John Lasseter, who serves as both chief creative officer of the Disney company and principal creative advisor for Walt Disney Imagineering, at the event marking the opening of Cars Land at Disney California Adventure.
