The new Christmas decorations for Cars Land, a land that isn't yet 5 months old, are just fantastic. I thought that since there's so much eye candy there, and it's such a unique new offering, that it deserved its own thread. Feel free to post or link your own pictures, or just enjoy these pictures from the most recent Dateline Disneyland update. http://datelinedisneyland.smugmug.c...09-12/26437311_rcXbZf#!i=2206125309&k=X95G2Dh
The land is decorated from top to bottom, but with each shop, restaurant or ride in the land getting its own themed version of decorations done as if the character that owns that location had been the decorator. It's terribly clever, and while pictures don't really do much of this justice, it's fun to look at...
The entry billboard was replaced with a "Season's Speedings" message, and with a snowcar in front.
A second row of telephone poles mysteriously showed up in early October along the west side of Route 66. Al Lutz mentioned they were temporary and for Christmas garland, and sure enough he was right!
Garlands are made out of wrenches and air filters, with wreaths of whitewall tires, naturally.
Every location is decorated, and every location has their own Christmas tree. Mater has placed a sparking spark plug on the top of his at the entry to his ride.
The spark plug flashes and sparks at night. Clever!
The Cozy Cone Motel has gone with a theme of... wait for it... cones! The tree and decorations on the lawn are powered by a giant car battery with jumper cables. Wouldn't you love to be in these TDA meetings where they come up with this stuff?!?
Each cone is decorated, along with the entire seating area.
Sally's Cozy Cone office has a cone tree, with an old-fashioned 1950's/60's "color wheel" that used to be so popular for aluminum trees (and that are popular again with MCM hipsters).
Sally also spent time making a little gingerbread house setup of the Cozy Cone Motel! Do you think car-made gingerbread smells like ginger, or gasoline?
