Disney California Adventure

This May 2012 photo released by Disneyland shows characters Lightning McQueen, left, and Mater at the new 12-acre Cars Land, a replica of Radiator Springs, the town in the popular "Cars," film franchise at Disney California Adventure park at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif. The park's five-year, $1 billion-plus revamp has debuted in spurts since 2008. Most of its new features rely on characters that come from Disney's $7.4 billion acquisition of Pixar Animation Studios, the San Francisco-area studio behind "Cars," `'Toy Story," `'Monsters Inc." and "A Bug's Life."
