Video: Mater's Junkyard Jamboree

The first attraction we rode in Cars Land was Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, and it was one of our favorites. We loved the music so much, it prompted us to buy the Music of Cars Land CD.


Check out yesterday's post for the story behind my Mater Teeth.

Tow Mater Teeth

True story.

I've watched the "Car Toons" animated shorts featuring Mater and his tall tales several times. In fact, at the airport the morning we were leaving for Disneyland last month, my wife and I watched a few.
One of them was "Mater the Greater" featuring Mater as a daredevil. In the short, recurring characters Mia and Tia are sporting fake Mater buck teeth, sold by Buck, the Tooth Vendor.
Upon getting to the Disneyland Resort, after checking into our resort, the first thing we did was head over to the new Cars Land at Disney California Adventure.
We had lunch at Flo's V8 Cafe, and while walking out, my wife saw a little boy wearing fake Mater teeth! I missed this, but she said we needed to find them. And find them we did, at Sarge's Surplus Hut.


I ponied up the money, opened the pack, and headed over to Mater's Junkyard Jamboree.


Lots of people took pictures of me in these, so if you are an introvert, this is not the way to go unnoticed.



I had a blast on the ride, our first ride of this visit, and these teeth are a fun reminder of the great kick off to a fantastic trip.
