Paris? New York? London? No way! It’s Radiator Springs or bust! Four of you will join Walt Disney Imagineering Executives Tom Fitzgerald and Kathy Mangum for a special behind-the-scenes tour of Cars Land (opening in 2012) as it is being created! You will get an exclusive view from the 8th floor of The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and a personal walkthrough of Walt Disney Imagineering Blue Sky Cellar.

As anyone in Radiator Springs will tell you, there is a whole world out there to explore! Spend two nights of grandeur at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel® & Spa. Relax and enjoy the tranquility of this amazing four diamond hotel located inside Disney California Adventure® Park. This amazing package includes two days of Disneyland® Resort Park Hopper® tickets and a day of fun and excitement at both Disneyland® Park & Disney California Adventure® Park. Then head over to the preferred viewing section for Disney California Adventures World of Color at Paradise Park, the spectacular nighttime water show comprised of fountains, lasers, fire, projected images and music.

Take a pit stop and unwind at Wine Country Trattoria for lunch. Experience the bounty of the California wine country with a delicious selection of items from the Italian themed menu. For dinner, you will dine at the Napa Rose Restaurant, promising tantalizing tastes and sophisticated delights, including wine pairings from the Lasseter Family Winery.

Even with this package, there are more ways to travel than by race car! Your group will experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to fly in “the Spirit of America,” the Goodyear blimp based in Carson, CA. While most people only get to admire the massive blimp as it gracefully floats over sporting events, you’ll get a chance to ride inside this American icon. You will glide silently over Los Angeles landmarks and the majestic Pacific coastline to experience the world-famous dirigible bird’s eye view of the Earth below. This is a rare ride that few people ever get to experience!
