Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters and Soarin’ Around the World

ANAHEIM, Calif. (Jan. 29, 2016) — Spring and summer at the Disneyland Resort will be more
thrilling than ever this year with new family vacation fun and spectacular entertainment.
Guests continue to discover the excitement of the Disneyland Resort Diamond Celebration
and its nighttime spectaculars, plus new and enhanced Star Wars experiences. At Disney
California Adventure Park, Cars Land will soon debut its newest attraction, Luigi’s Rollickin’
Roadsters.

Guests planning a summer vacation at the Disneyland Resort also will enjoy a new “Frozen”
musical, based on the blockbuster Walt Disney Animation Studios film, and the
unforgettable, new Soarin’ Around the World attraction. Magic awaits guests of all ages in
2016, including these 16 special experiences.

At Disney California Adventure Park

Disney California Adventure celebrates its 15th anniversary Feb. 8, 2016, with adventures
from Buena Vista Street to Cars Land, and something for guests of all ages, including the
thrilling California Screamin’ coaster, the uplifting Pixar Play Parade and the high-scoring
action of “Toy Story Mania.”

1. The new live “Frozen” musical premieres in late spring 2016, immersing audiences in
the emotional journey of Anna and Elsa with all of the excitement of live theater. The
entertaining musical adaptation will include elaborate costumes and sets, stunning
special effects, show-stopping production numbers and some unique theatrical
surprises. The show will play at the Hyperion Theater.

2. The fun-filled Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters attraction, debuting soon at Casa Della
Tires in Cars Land, is rolling with fun as Luigi’s cugini (cousins) have come from
Carsoli, Italy, to help celebrate Race Day in Radiator Springs. Park guests join in the
fun by hopping aboard miniature Italian roadsters, in the style of late 1950s micro
cars. The cars perform the traditional dances of their village, moving to upbeat music
and Luigi’s singing in a precision-choreographed dance across what appears to be a
trackless “dance floor.” Each car has its own routine, so guests will enjoy different ride
experiences depending on which car they board.

4. The Star Wars-themed transformation of Space Mountain into Hyperspace Mountain
thrusts guests into an X-wing Starfigher battle as they race through the darkness. The
experience is enhanced by a new soundtrack, inspired by the Star Wars films’ musical
themes and re-orchestrated to match every move in the attraction.

5. At the Star Tours — The Adventures Continue attraction, guests encounter a new
adventure and characters from “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” while journeying
aboard a Starspeeder 1000.

6. Guests will relive stories from the Star Wars saga — or discover them for the first time
— through the short “Star Wars: Path of the Jedi” film which connects iconic scenes
from the iconic films in fun new ways.

7. The popular interactive show Jedi Training: Trials of the Temple has been
reimagined with Darth Vader and the Seventh Sister Inquisitor from the popular
Disney XD series Star Wars Rebels.

8. As preparations begin in 2016 for a new Star Wars-themed land, guests will enjoy
unique limited-time opportunities to experience some of their favorite attractions in
new ways. While the Disneyland Railroad is temporarily closed, guests at the Main
Street and New Orleans Square Train Stations will be able to get up-close with the
historic steam engines that have circled Disneyland park for decades and learn about
them firsthand from Disneyland Railroad engineers. Limited-time experiences for the
Mark Twain Riverboat and Sailing Ship Columbia will debut throughout the year.

9. Super Hero fans will have their own special encounters at Super Hero HQ. They’re
invited to learn more about their favorite Super Heroes, such as Thor and Spiderman,
and meet some of them in person.

Disney and Disney●Pixar characters, including Ariel, the Little Mermaid; Woody and
Buzz Lightyear from “Toy Story”’; Lightning McQueen from “Cars,” Disney Princesses
