Disneyland resorts web site does not have any information on cars, what it is or where it is located at. I am assuming that it some type of a show. Can anybody tell me about this?

It would be cool if they had these cars at the park but i was under the impression that they would have smaller replicas like the ones in WDW. Lets hope they do use the Lightning Mater Sally and Hudson they used for the premier. They would be so cool although probably not as personal as the ones used in WDW.

That was a crazy rumor that never had any real truth to it. D-MGM is getting something similar but it isn't a BPB clone per se.

So there are meet-n-greets, and there is a pre-parade. Just so everyone's clear.>>
