Sorry for my absence for the past few days as I was enjoying the lovely Walt Disney World Resort. Now to update you on all the news that we missed the last few days.

On Friday, Blue Sky Cellar re-opened at Disney California Adventure park with new looks inside the continuing development of Buena Vista Street and Cars Land. Among the behind-the-scenes peeks featured are these images, which show Cars Land in its current state of production.
You can see Radiator Springs Racers continuing to take shape, with details like the bridge in the photo above beginning to peek through.
In this photo, you can see the double track where cars will soon be speeding around this banked turn.
Elsewhere in Radiator Springs, the round facade of Flo’s V8 Cafe is recognizable, and across the street (pictured below) Sally’s Cozy Cones are springing up.
Check back here on the Disney Parks Blog for more updates on Cars Land as we look forward to its Summer 2012 opening.
