From Parking Lot To Route 66

The journey to Cars Land began three years ago on a hot summer day in July and ever since then, the road less traveled first had to be built. Every few months leading up to today, guests like us could see how much progress was made from week to week by peeking over the walls.

As we approach the public opening of Cars Land this Friday, June 15, take a look back at how a parking lot turning into a pit stop off Route 66 in this time lapse video above.

We’re greatful that you chose DisneyExaminer for your source on everything Cars Land! Be sure to join us through Friday for lots of photos from video, which will be posted on our coverage page and on our Facebook,Twitter, Tumblr, and YouTube networks.

They’ll all be straight from Route 66 and Buena Vista Street as we continue to celebrate the new, re-imagined Disney California Adventure Park!
