Oh he's going to be so disappointed -

Cars used to appear at MGM (DHS) in the Stars and Their Cars parade - but that's now been replaced by Block Party Bash

Meet and Greet - there used to be a small display with two of the stars (Lightning McQueen) - not sure if its still there

No rides

Shops and Merchandise - pretty sure you'll find some stuff at World Of Disney in DownTown Disney

They still have the meet and greet at DHS, at least as of Dec '08. There is usually quite a bit of a line but was worth it for my son Other than that not much, which is a shame because every litlle boy I know LOVES Lightening McQueen.

Meet and Greets and Merchandise are already in place.

Attractions-1 open in Paris, entire land being planned in California, former involvement in Stars and Motor Cars parade in FL, current involvement in Pixar Play Parade at Disney's california adventure.

As far as merchandise goes, I think they are set. If anything I think they need to start offering more park exclusive merchandise....that HM cart is starting to look a little bare Plus I would love to see them give credit to some other Pixar movies first. I'd still love to see a Wall-E attraction in Tomorrowland.

Went there in Jan, the Meet n Greet was still in full swing. We didn't encounter many line problems because it is tucked away a bit. But that was just us. I have a 3 1/2 year old and here was his reaction:

Literally jumping for joy:
