Lightning Greets Fans at the Cozy Cone

Lightning McQueen welcomes his fans outside Sally's office at the Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land. The combination of fun food, chatty automobiles, the town's music and terrific Cast Members make this one of the best character meet n' greet set-ups at the resort.

Luigi's Office

Luigi's Office Flying Tires Cars Land Carsland queue line
Luigi's Flying Tires isn't just a fun, one-of-a-kind ride; this attraction boasts one of the most enjoyable queues in Disneyland Resort. After touring the showroom and memorabilia-crammed fitting room of Casa della Tires, guests encounter one final room before heading out to the gardens: Luigi's office.

It looks completely believable as a functioning workspace. In fact, you could mistake it for the office of a car-parts dealer in the human world...until you notice details like the push-panels that open the file drawers and the shape of the bottle on the desk.

I'd love to get a closer look at the items on display in there. If Disney ever offers a Cars Land behind-the-scenes and on-the-set tour, I'll be one of the first in line.

Cars Land Details: Angus A. Ackley

Luigi's Flying Tires queue poster Angus Ackley

Cars Land overflows with wonderful, imaginative details that help bring the automotive universe to life. Here we have a great piece from the memorabilia case inside Luigi's Casa della Tires. This terrific poster, introducing a character not seen in the films, presents several layers of background story all at once.

His name's Angus A. Ackley, and he owns a bagpipe shop somewhere in the Cars version of Europe. Sometime in the past, Lugi and Guido provided him with comfy whitewalls, either via mail order or during the duo's trip around the world with Lightning and Mater during Cars 2. A satisfied customer, Ackley's inscribed the poster, "Lads, them whitewalls feel good under me fender skirts!"

I can only imagine how loud those extra-large bagpipes might be. Luigi's probably got a CD tucked somewhere in his office, which never gets played amongst the never-ending Italian playlist echoing throughout the queue for Luigi's Flying Tires.

Yes, I'm a Cars geek. Should I mention I noticed Angus's initials are AAA?
