Lightning McQueen/CARS rumors?
I heard that there is a type of book that looks like a passport in Epcot that you can get...It takes you on a hunt looking for things related to the movie (CARS) coming out in June. When you reach certain countries you get a stamp.
Can anyone confirm this? This is different from the passport that is already out there...it's supposed to be CARS related.....
I also heard that Lightning McQueen will be in the Lights Motor Action show starting in June taking the place of Herbie.
If these two things are the case...my son is going to be on

Yes, it's true. I've attached a few pics of the booklet. It's called 'Race Around World Showcase'.
The stamps are in the countries they visit in Cars 2 - Italy, US, Japan, France and the UK. There are flag topiaries behind the Lightning McQueen topiary/display in Epcot that represent these countries.
Like you said, you collect all the stamps and return to where you got the booklet (right near the Lightning topiary at the entrance to WS) and you will get a small prize. We haven't done it yet, so I can't say exactly what it is.
I too saw the rumor of Lightning replacing Herbie in LMA. Nothing definite on that yet though.
Did you see the info on the replica CARS tour?

I just read the news about Lightning replacing Herbie in the Lights! Motors! Action! show at DHS in June. He'll also have his own meet & greet.

Lightning and Mater have had their own meet 'n greet at Hollywood Studios for years. It's actually right down from the LMA stadium.

The Race Around the World Passport I assume will continue through the release of the film? We will be going in May and my five year old son and two year old daughter would love to do that.

Good question. It's part of the Flower & Garden Festival, so it may only be through May 15. When are you going in May?
-
When I read "Topiary," I thought it might be just in conjunction with that. We are going to be there just after the Flower and Garden Festival ends on May 17.
If it is ended with the closure of the festival, it will be fine because my children don't know about it. They can still get passports and have them stamped in each country.

I realize that. What I read indicated that he will have his own new meet & greet in a different location.

FYI on the Cars tour...the wait was over 3 hours in St. Louis to go see it. Just be prepared!
As far as replacing Herbie, I think that makes sense. Unfortunately, there are ALOT of kids out there who have no idea who herbie is, even after that aweful remake with Lohan
