On the Cars Road Trip attraction, pictured, guests will be ‘transported into a Cars-themed version of a road trip on Route 66’ 

Walt Disney Studios Park will be the home of Cars Road Trip, a tram ride where guests will be ‘transported into a Cars-themed version of a road trip on Route 66’. 

Disney explains: ‘Guests will discover local natural wonders like the Cars-tastrophe Canyon while encountering popular characters such as Lightning McQueen and Mater – making Walt Disney Studios Park the place where Cars and Pixar dreams come to life.’

In addition, Disney promises that there will also be a ‘new galactic experience with Star Wars Legends’.

Meanwhile, the four-star Disney’s Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel, will ‘pay tribute to the home of so many Marvel superheroes and their artists, while offering premium comfort and personalised services’.

On display in the hotel will be 350 pieces of art spanning the Marvel comics and movies created by more than 110 artists – including more than 50 exclusive pieces. Disney says this makes the hotel ‘one of the largest publicly viewable collections of Marvel artwork in the world’.

Disney adds: ‘This unique hotel will invite guests into the Marvel universe as soon as they enter the lobby, where they will be greeted by huge backlit comic panels, three life-size Iron Man suits and even the famous Captain America shields.
