Car Masters Weekend To Take Place At Downtown Disney

Will you be in Orlando this weekend?  Then make sure to head over to Downtown Disney for the Second Annual Car Masters Weekend, June 2 and 3.  This free, two-day event features a ton of activities the whole family can enjoy.

Guests will have the opportunity to view a car show, with more than 100 classic and exotic cars on hand, set to be judged.  In addition, guests can then vote on their favorite car to win the People’s Choice Award along with the Kid’s Choice Award.

Also, guests will have the opportunity to meet Lightning McQueen and Mater, as well as meet one of the car show’s guest judges, Chip Foose, who contributed to the design of Ramone in the movie Cars.

There are plenty of great old – as well as new – events for this year.  Events include a LEGO interactive zone, High Performance Karting sponsored by the Richard Petty Driving Experience, Cars-themed Topiaries, an all day Cars and Cars 2 movie marathon at the AMC Downtown Disney 24, Disney face painters, a Ridemakerz model car exhibit, and a DJ on hand, just to name a few.
