I continue to be amazed by how massive the Cadillac Range appears. It must really be something in person!
Yes, it is much more impressive in person than any picture can convey.
However, it's also difficult to comprehend in person because we are still being kept so far away from it. Pictures like this one below, taken yesterday for the Dateline Disneyland weekly update on Miceage (that appears tomorrow), are almost always taken from the patio of the Blue Sky Cellar, up on the terrace of the Golden Vine Winery.

It's a great vista, but as a point of reference (using satellite maps) it is
1,100 feet from that patio to the vertical rock face of the Cadillac Range.
That's over three football fields long, including end zones, and quite a ways from where the photographer is standing! Two dimensional pictures have a hard time capturing that scale and scope.
The town buildings of Radiator Springs begin about two hundred feet from the photographer, and continue to about the 700 foot mark. The main street of Radiator Springs, from Fillmore's Taste-In to the Courthouse is about 500 feet long, coincidentally almost exactly the same length of Main Street USA from the train station steps to the Coca-Cola Corner/Kodak Store at the very end of the street.
Cars Land is a very big "land", and we won't really be able to comprehend it all until the walls come down next June and we can get in there and explore, and likely get lost a bit.
