Attention all ?Cars? fans ? I?ve got a great announcement for you tonight. The Disney Parks Blog just got word that the gang from Radiator Springs will head this way next month for a brand new event ? Downtown Disney Car Masters Weekend ? which will take place May 13-15.

Love ?Cars?? Don?t Miss Downtown Disney Car Masters Weekend

Four-time Piston Cup Champion, Lightning McQueen, Mater and British super-spy, Finn McMissile will hit the road to celebrate the release of Disney?Pixar?s ?Cars 2.? At Downtown Disney Car Masters Weekend, families can hang out with Lightning, Mater and Finn McMissile, plus take part in all sorts of fun ?Cars? activities, including a video kiosk, e-photo opportunities and games.

Along with meeting some their favorite characters from ?Cars,? families can ?test drive? and purchase new ?Cars 2? RIDEMAKERZ models. Always wanted to see what Mater would look like as a 4?4? Mix, match and design your very own unique ?Cars 2? vehicle.

Families can also throw their love for cars in ?reverse? and go back in time to check out dozens of classic cars on display that helped shape the vehicles we drive today. Or check out the original ?Cars? film, which will play on the big screen all weekend at the AMC Pleasure Island 24 Theatres Complex.
