Bob Iger, the Walt Disney Co. president and chief executive officer, announced the opening month for the 12-acre Cars Land during a conference call with investors about quarterly earnings Tuesday.

Up until this point, Disney would only confirm that Cars Land will open in the summer, when it will conclude the $1 billion makeover project.

Last week, Al Lutz, editor of the Miceage.com Disney watchdog blog, reported that Cars Land would open June 15. But Disney officials refused to confirm a date.

Cars Land is the largest part of the five-year expansion project with three rides, a man-built mountain range, stores and restaurants that look like Radiator Springs, the fictional town in the “Cars” movies.

These are some of the park features:

Attractions

For a sleepy town somewhere off of Route 66, Cars Land is packed with thrills and excitement.

• Glide on air and whirl into your pals at Luigi’s Flying Tires.
• Whip around behind a baby tractor at Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree and see the giant jukebox he personally built from his prized possessions!
• Burn rubber at Radiator Springs Racers — where only the fastest hot rod can take home the Piston Cup. This 6-acre attraction is the largest at the Disneyland Resort and combines storytelling with racing thrills through Ornament Valley’s spectacular red-rock formations.
