Just a idea, Celebration at Disney has a big parking lot and then a nice lake area. There are shops, a movie theater, and places to eat there too. I actually have seen antique car shows there. Also maybe at Disneys wide world of sports complex there might be some room. You could definately kick a ball around there.

if we get this to work... we'll need people to Show *cough* to have a Big Meet as planned!

And when a roll call is started... this means only sign up if you will definately be showing. No matter what

00lexondub have you been to Old Town? i have never been there so i dont know what its like... i think someone should at least scope out the area and takes some pictures before agreeing to make it the spot

So heres the Response. I have emailed them my info so i should be recieving a packet with more details soon

Hi John,

We love having car shows of all types here at Old Town. In case you have never been to Old Town, I have a promotional packet I can mail you, including videos of car shows and how they are set-up. If you provide me with your mailing address, I will be more than happy to send.

Old Town is home to the largest weekly car cruises in America and host to some of the best regional car shows. Our Friday Nite Cruise is going into its 7th year and is for vehicles 1973-1987 and the newer customs & exotics. The Saturday Nite Cruise is going into its 15th year and is for the true classics, vehicles 1972 and older. We average about 300 classic cars on a Saturday and 100 cars on a Friday. On Friday nights gates open at 5pm and they cruise down the brick streets of Old Town starting at 9pm. On Saturdays, gates open at 1pm and the cruise starts at 8:30pm. We always have a live rock n’ roll band on the main stage.

Old Town is a small attraction outside of Kissimmee, one mile east of I-4 and within minutes of Disney World. We house 75 unique specialty shops, 8 restaurants and 18 amusement rides. With free admission and free parking, we are a great choice for young and adults.

Car shows enjoy coming to Old Town because we have a lot to offer. Having a variety of things to do for everyone in the family is a draw for many event planners. There are many hotels within walking distance that offer great deals to car shows visiting Old Town, including the Days Suites which is a suite that sleeps up to 6 people and includes a full kitchen.

Depending on what you are looking to do, length of the show, etc., I can give you more details as to what we offer. In your planning, please keep in mind that we have the National Corvette Restorer’s Society Winter Meet on January 19-23 and the Classic Chevy International/Worldwide Camaro Association Winter Meet on February 10-13.

As I mentioned before, I can provide you with a packet if you e-mail me your address and if you have more information about what you are looking to do you can provide, I can give more details.

Thank you for considering Old Town and I hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely,
Ingrid A. Berkley
