Rolling out the Red Carpet at Cars Land

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the grand opening of Cars Land at the Disneyland Resort.  If you haven't heard yet, the area beside A Bug's Land at Disney's California Adventure has been transformed into Radiator Springs, and park guests can enter the Cars world, walk down Route 66, take a ride on Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, race around Ornament Valley on the Radiator Springs Racers, float on air at Luigi's Flying Tires, or grab a bite at Flo's V8 Cafe.  

Cars Land has been in the works for five whole years, and it's every bit as amazing as I thought it would be when Disney announced the reopening on March 7, so it's only fitting that a project this immense merited a grand celebration.  It was as grand as grand can be!  The festivities began on June 13 with a Red Carpet event featuring Disney stars, Disney execs, lots of cameras and lots of fans. Since I had a media pass, I was able to snag a spot right behind the railings, and snapped some great photos of the stars as they walked the Red Carpet:
