Getting into the #HalloweenTime Spirit in Cars Land at #Disneyland #Cars3Bluray

Disney California Adventure

On October 9 – 11 I attended a Disney Press Event. My hotel and airfare and meals were taken care of while I was in L.A. Opinions and observations as well as recaps and such are all my own. This post will also contain some affiliate links to Amazon.com.

On the very first night of my #ThorRagnarokEvent adventure we loaded up into a couple of shuttles and headed from the hotel to Disneyland to spend the evening. Our mission, to check out everything going on in Cars Land. This year is the very first year that Cars Land has been converted to a Halloween theme, or rather Haul-O-Ween, as part of the overall park HalloweenTime theme. Cars Land did things a little differently and it looked fantastic. I have a ton of photos from the experience which was made all the better with our own personal Disneyland guide who took us all over the Disney California Adventure Park and also into Disneyland Park. We were in for an amazing night of fun.

We were broken into three groups according to what type of rides we did or did not want to do. Mostly it was for anyone who did not want to do the Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout which was made into Guardians of the Galaxy: Monsters After Dark. I was in the group that opted not to ride that particular ride. I just know that I can get a little queasy on rides like that and I wanted to have the best night I could because who knows, It may take another 15 years for me to come back again. Yeah, it has been 15 years since I’ve been to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Allison and I went when we were out for a wedding. A lot has changed in that time.

Trunk or Treat

One of the things that changed was the creation of Cars Land. This is something that wasn’t there back then. The first Cars movie hadn’t even been released back then. Cars was released in 2006. When it was I made sure to get every single one of the character toy cars to save for the kids. When they were old enough to appreciate them I gave them my collection. They have been Cars fans ever since. Andrew and Eva even came with me to a Cars 3 sneak preview screening of the movie in Boston this past June. Now Cars 3 is about to hit Digital (Today 10/24) and Bluray (11/7) and we can enjoy the movie all over again. I personally thing it is the best of the three movies in the series.

Unboxing the Thor: Ragnarok Marvel Collector Corps Box #ThorRagnarokEvent

Photo-A-Day #4576

I received my Thor: Ragnarok box form Marvel Collector Corps the other day. This is a subscription service that I pay for myself. I’ve been collecting all of the Funko Pops for the Thor: Ragnarok movie ever since I learned that I was attending the Thor: Ragnarok red carpet. That was an amazing trip that I did a couple of weeks ago. I wrote about that experience in a couple of posts so far including: My Thor Ragnarok Red Carpet Experience and My Thor Ragnarok Movie Review – SPOLIER FREE. This week I am releasing some additional content from the trip including an interview with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

This box was pretty good overall. The pops inside were excellent but some of the additional items felt cheap and unnecessary. I am always one for a comic book with a special edition Pop cover. I have not seen one of those in a while. I also like a Pop themed tshirt and that wasn’t there. However, I did like the Hulk beanie, the color and style were perfect for me. I also liked the magnets, they are cute. The fidget spinner and deck of cards were weak. You can see my whole take on it in my video below.
