Creator's Key Takeaways

Monsters Inc. Mike and Sully to the Rescue is set to close permanently sometime in early 2026.

Radiator Springs Racers is the signature attraction here and easily the most popular ride in the park.

Saurin is one of my family's favorite rides in the entire park and a musto on any visit to Disney California Adventure.

If you buy Lightning Lane Multipass, it does not include Radiator Springs Racers, but you also do not need to buy Multipass in order to purchase single pass.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use the Buddy Pass for Monsters Inc. to skip the standby line.
Purchase Lightning Lane Multipass for most attractions, but buy a single pass for Radiator Springs Racers.
Ride Guardians of the Galaxy Mission Breakout in the morning and evening to experience both versions with Lightning Lane.
