Hi wondering if anyone can offer any advice we may be passing through on a trip from the UK and my son would love to visit cars land. Would a day be enough for him to see cars land and is there a combination that would allow us to both visit cars land and see the evening fireworks?
Carsland is just one part of California Adventures park. 1 day is enough to see the whole park, and go on all the other rides too, in Avengers Campus and Pixar Pier. Carsland is basically 1 street, with the main ride Radiator Springs Racers at the end. Along the street are the other rides, Maters, and Lugis , restaurants Flos and Cozy Cone Motel and the merchandise shops. It is a cool area, especially at night but you wouldnt just go to California Adventures Park and spend the whole day at Carslands.
The fireworks are in the other park,
Disneyland Main park. Depending on the day and time of year, the fireworks may not be on the night you are there. The fireworks are centered on The Castle, with projections and music. You can only see the projections and hear the music as well as seeing all the fireworks if you are in Disneyland main park. The best viewing area in the park is Main Street USA / The Hub in front of The Castle but they also play the music and show the projections on Its A Small World and in Rivers of America but you only see part of the fireworks and projections.
Outside the park, the higher fireworks can be see from the esplanade between Disneyland main park and California Adventures, many people sit on the ground in the centre,. They can also be seen from the roof of Mickey and Friends parking structure and from the roofs of onsite hotels along Harbour Boulevard.
