One of the first signs of Halloween each year is the decor arriving at Cars Land.
I love to see it!
Don’t miss this spooky redesign of the most popular land in California Adventure.

Basic Scoop
Cars Land comes alive each year for Halloween in the most creative ways.
The decor is amazing and two rides transform!
- Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters transforms into Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween
- Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree becomes Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree
Walk all the way up and down the main drag in Cars Land to see all the details. Don’t miss the “Brakes Motel” at the Cozy Cone Motel! Find it in the building in the center of the Cozy Cone Motel area. Just walk up to the glass and look for it. Here’s a video.
Photos & Photo Ops
Definitely check out the following photo ops in this cute land:
- At the front near the main sign
- At Mater’s “Petting Zoo”
- At the Cozy Cone Motel
- By Radiator Springs Racers
And! At sunset each night, the crowd spontaneously sings “I Put a Spell on You” instead of “Sha-Boom” when the lights come on on the main drag, so hang out in that area if you care to see it. It’s adorable. Here’s a video of what that looks like.
Let’s take a look at this masterpiece come together.
