Pixar Greeting Place

Yet another Pixar characters meet and greet as been set up at the north end of what will be Disney’s Hollywood Studio’snewest street, Pixar Place. While Mater and Lightning McQueen from Pixar’s Cars have been appearing at their current location for a few weeks, they now have a backdrop depicting the famous Radiator Springs sign. The new backdrop leads us to believe that this will either be a permanent location for the pair, however, it is quite possible the backdrop will move into the Pixar Place area once the street opens sometime during the next two weeks.
