As I'd mentioned before, I know this area where the show car's are being parked.
In the picture of the location area on page 11 that BackYard provided, the Hotel in the lower left of the pic is the Celebration Hotel. (Spiceman renovated the Hotel last year) but across the street also showing some building's and those directly leading north of the Hotel and these building's, behind all of such, is plenty of parking. In fact nearly all shops along the area shown, and directly behind them, are parking lot's.
Therefore close to the show car's out front on the streets, and behind the shops.

By the way, for those of us showing, what class is everyone herein showing?

Was planning on coming up Fri PM but due to last minute cluster #$%^ at work plus impending weather in that order, will be coming up Sat AM instead...

Good luck my friends. Bring home some trophies and make Corvette Florida proud. I hope the weather will be beautiful and cool for all of you. Unfortunately, I won't be there due to other family events taking precedent. Have a great time. THOR

A ditto from posting #104, though if you are showing and not arriving early the "behind the shops" parking lots probably won't be available. Also, not all of what appears to be white on the map will be available for parking. Some of those areas Eckler's is utilizing for other things.

The Celebration Staff is handling the parking of the show vettes and I assume they will be directing the spectator traffic, so finding parking shouldn't be a problem.

anyone heard what Eckler's will do about rain delay's?
I can tell all of you traveling...I-4 is a miserable place to be on Friday's throughout Orlando Kissimmee area...but especially Disney area plus the Biker weekend.
Traffic is bad enough in dry weather on I-4 Friday's so allow PLENTY of time.
Gotta tell ya ain't real deceided about taking my Mallett out in this weather.
Never been in the rain w/ it.
Another question, is it necesssary to drive the car over for check in and final regristration sign in? Would rather drive it over Saturday after storms pass....but that most likely won't fly with Eckler's.

Not sure about "rain checks"..don't recall anything like that in the past. Not sure how leanient they will be unless there is an extreme circumstance or special issue.
All I know is that the show vehicles can be parked today or between 6:30 and 10 in the morning. The judging begins at 10:45a.m. I would imagine if the weather at Celebration is okay enough for us to go out and begin judging that would be it and anyone that arrives after the judging begins may be out of luck...
There has been several cases in the past where people have shown up 1 hour...or 2 hours after judging has begun and were not allowed to enter. But don't think rain and storms were factors there.
You may want to call Eckler's and see if they have received any feedback about the rain question. I would call and ask those in charge, but they are all over at Celebration right now.
My best suggestion at this point is plan time in to ge there on time. Unless it's lightning and thundering over Celebration at 10:45 things will proceed.

Stupid Question here..... to view the cars at the car show is free correct? No entry fee for visitors? Just wondering.....

Correct. There is no charge for spectators.
