Can people please stop calling this Cars Land? WDW is not getting Cars Land.

Disney might not be calling it cars land... its going to have 1 E ticket and 1 C ticket and take up ~3.7 acers.
Compare that to some of the "lands" at DHS and people are just going to refer it to cars land...

We use non-official terms for lands, rides, attractions, and areas all the time on these forms.

But by saying Cars Land, you are automatically comparing it the actual Cars Land at DCA.

Disney does that by populating this area with multiple Cars attractions. Honestly, probably even a single attraction would do that because Disney has set their own standard for Cars attractions with the land in DCA.

“Cars Land” likely invites an unfavorable comparison to the DCA counterpart. I get Disney would not want to adapt that naming convention for WDW for a multitude of reasons. But:

1) A new IP themed area that includes 2 attractions, shopping, and a possible dining experience fits within the expectation of a land

2) The technical name for Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge is SWGE - but no one calls it that, it’s functionally “Star Wars Land.” (Ditto “Pandora - The World of Avatar” is “Avatar” or “Avatar Land”)

So, I guess, once again, WDW gets a smaller but somewhat different (and possibly less impactful) version of something great that DL has?

I feel like this complaint doesn't really match the reality nearly as often as it's said to? WDW has/had the bigger and better Tower of Terror, Splash Mountain, very likely Pandora, Jungle Cruise, and plenty of attractions that are essentially on par if not the same: Haunted Mansion, Galaxy's Edge, Toy Story Midway Mania, Big Thunder (now that we're getting the new effects), MMRR (better queue at DL), Little Mermaid (better queue at WDW).

I don't even know why we're comparing Cars rides when they're not even trying to be anywhere near the same thing. It's like comparing Matterhorn to Expedition Everest.

Do they though? Maybe I am too in the bubble but always refer to them (and always here them referred to) as "Galaxy's Edge" or "Pandora"

Heck I hear "Batuu" more than "Star Wars Land"

Will have to see the final product - I think potential for Piston Peak to be beautiful and the flowing water, etc can be really nice ... BUT will definitely be different and won't be a "world" we know so won't have that same impact of stepping into something you saw (and potentially loved) on screen

The moment the lights come on each night in Cars Land at DCA is amazing, but part of the "feel" it gives you is you have known about and seen Flo's for years ... So that aspect won't happen in WDW - but could also provide some serene elements, will have to see

Yes, it could be very nice if they go all out - particularly with the water.
Part of what I love about the parks, and have loved since my first visit the years WDW opened id that people made that.
The design, artistry, construction...
So, yes I really hope Disney doesn't cut corners and we get an area on the level of the best they are capable of.

You can build new Disney castle parks without an ROA but I don’t think you can/ should completely eliminate it from where it’s been standing for decades as part of the parks identity. And to be clear I think all new parks could really benefit from bodies of water like the the ROA. Elements designed to look organic such as rivers, waterfalls, etc. They don’t have to be as massive of course. The fountain area at Epic is nice but the escapism isn’t quite the same. I get more Vegas or Outdoor Southern California Caruso mall vibes. I haven’t been to Epic but from what I’ve seen that’s what’s missing for me - the waterfalls, rivers, rock work, etc. With that said I think Berk may have some of that?

FYI Y'all... Disney calls it a "Cars area" and considers it *part* of Frontierland.

RoA had at one time
  • Steamship with AA dioramas
  • Piloted Rafts
  • Tom Sawyer Island
  • Canoes
  • Keel Boat
  • a quick serve restaurant
And it covered 12 acres.

And no one called it a "land."

Since the theme is "Piston Peak Park," perhaps "Cars park" is the best appellation? Or just "Piston Peak."

Might play out differently when actually open, but in my head been calling the *area* "Piston Peak" and then likely say "the Cars Ride" for the actual attraction,
