Online registration is now open for the 2009 Daytona Beach Dream Cruise.
We have not yet finalized the location for check-in for the 2009 event. At this time, we anticipate that all special vehicles coming to the Daytona Beach Dream Cruise will check-in, beginning at 8:00 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 24., at the Volusia Mall north east parking area, the same place where we did check-in for the 2008 event. Again for 2009, there is no registration fee to participate in the Daytona Beach Dream Cruise.
Please be advised that you and everyone can attend free of charge any of the planned Daytona Beach Dream Cruise activities at all participating venues, whether you check-in or not. Likewise, you can cruise along Atlantic Avenue without needing to check-in. It is not necessary to check-in because no credentials are needed to visit those venues or participate as a cruiser. If there are concerts or other entertainment in the Daytona Beach area coinciding with the Daytona Beach Dream Cruise, but not officially part of this event, please be advised that there may be a cost to attend them.
All owners who check-in at the designated location (anticipated but not yet finalized to be the Volusia Mall northeast parking area), whether or not registered online, will receive goody bag items, while supplies last, along with a helpful map and schedule of events. We can only offer goody bag items when the vehicle is special (something other than a grocery-getter).
To simplify check-in for 2009, we will photograph all special cars & trucks that come to check-in. There is no need to register online in advance in order to be photographed. You can see official event photos shot at the 2008 event on this web site. We'll be doing a similar special template overlay for the 2009 official Daytona Beach Dream Cruise photo. The only way to get this really nice keepsake picture of your special vehicle is to come to check-in on Saturday.
