With the opening of the brand new Lightning McQueen’s Racing Academy today in Hollywood Studios comes even more Cars-themed fun! DJ’s Ready! Set! Party Time! welcomes guests to a new dance party and photo opportunities in the Cars Courtyard directly outside the Academy.
DJ’s Ready! Set! Party Time!
DJ from Route 66 is ready to do what he does best, as the ultimate party car!
DJ
He’s spinning tunes that set the high-energy scene for Cars-inspired dances and games in the courtyard.

Games for the kiddos include “Stop and Go” (like musical chairs, but with parking spots) and line dancing.
And Cruz Ramirez joins in the fun, too!

Get ready to pose with her for a super fun photo-op! Note that Cruz has a PhotoPass Photographer present, and her area is set up like a more traditional meet-and-greet.

You can also get your photo taken with DJ, but note that you can’t move beyond the mat that’s been placed on the ground, and there is no PhotoPass Photographer here. (However, the Cast Member with DJ did take pictures with guests’ phones and cameras upon request.)

A few more photo walls set the scene.
