Not Avoidin a Convention this time! - Mustangs at Mickyard

I've always made sure there were no big conventions when I booked our room at CSR. This time is different. We are going for a Convention. I requested 8A. Was that a mistake? The room request? Any idea where the car show at the resort is going to be? I know the Mustangs at Mickyard is at the race track, but I saw there is another show at the resort too. DH is not showing his car.

Not sure where the show will be held but there are some activities planned for the resort. Did you book the convention rate of $99? You don't have to be a member to get it.

I found out that there is actually 2 shows that weekend. There is a car show inside the convention center. And then there is the Mustangs and the Mickyard show. This show will be held inside the Richard Petty speedway.

Yes, I knew about the two. Just didn't know if the car show at CSR was in the convention center or in a parking lot. You are coming in for the car show too?

The rooms are also available at POR as overflow rooms.

Is this the other show? The Dream Car one? http://www.dreamcarsweekend.com/index.html

Looks like the Dream Car stuff has something going every night. Do you think the laua will be on the beach at the Cabanas? Or do you know if it's indoos?

I am the creator of Dream Cars Weekend. The car show is in the parking area of the resort, however not in the front entrance. Spectators are free to attend. The Veracruz exhibition hall will have car vendors, race legends Don Garlits and Geoff Bodine, jet dragster Elaine Larsen, famous artist Laurence Gartel, over 400 custom model car show, a micro stock car race track and much more. There is the Green Light Kickoff party which is a 1920's vintage rockabilly theme event, the Moonlight Beach Luau on Saturday night is on the beach, and the Rise and Shine Monday breakfast is a 1950's style diner theme. Tickets can be purchased on the website. The room rate is $99 plus you get a pair of after-4pm theme park passes. Make sure you mention that you are coming for Dream Cars Weekend, or you chose that option on the online registration linked to our website. The main part of the car show will be all day Saturday and Sunday. There will be buses running between the Coronado and the Mustang show at the speedway. However the mustangs will only be showing Friday and Saturday, then back at the Coronado for Sunday.

Please go to the Dream Cars Weekend website for complete information.

Thanks for posting Cargirl!

Thanks for the information. Our room has been booked since last September for Mustangs at Mickyard. This week was the first I heard of Dream Cars Weekend. At first I was a little confused, but now I think I've got it all straight. Thanks!
