Location: Carsland, Disney California Adventure
Long before Mater and Lightning McQueen created an
unbreakable, and unlikely, friendship, two other Pixar characters
soared into our hearts to show audiences what friendship is truly
all about. I'm talking about Buzz Lightyear and Woody. I know what
you are thinking, "We're in Carsland, so why on earth talk about Toy
Story characters?" You have a good point, but it's time to take a
look and realize that the cars of Carsland aren't the only loyal
friends present.
In Toy Story 2, Woody took a risk and saved Wheezy
from ending up in a garage sale. Unfortunately for him an evil man
named Al would kidnap Woody in order to sell him to a toy museum in
Japan. Buzz forms a rescue party to go save Woody and along the way
they stumble across Al's Toy Barn. The only problem is it's across a
busy street and Buzz and the gang can't simply stroll across without
being noticed. Their plan? Use stealth like moves while hiding under
cones to cross the street undetected! Amazingly enough, it worked!
So how on earth does all this connect to Carsland?
If you think back to the film Cars you'll remember that one of the
characters, Sally, owned her own motel called the Cozy Cone:

While visiting the Cozy Cone in Carsland you'll
realize that nearly everything is made out of cones. While here take
a look inside the main office through the back window. While looking
in you will find cones covering nearly every inch of the shop, but
one of the cones pays tribute to the original Pixar friendship in
the form of our friend Buzz using his brains to rescue Woody.
