Celebration

[A whole new world]

I've been to Disney lots of times but never been to Celebration. I've heard it's suppose to be good. What exactly is there?

Celebration is just a town filled with cute houses really. There is a town centre with shops, restaurants and a hotel. It's situated around a lake. It's very pretty and I'd recommened going for the day.

We went for the first time last year and had a lovely relaxing afternoon - walk round the lake, coffee in Starbucks (while some of the others watched the world cup final) and a great meal at celebration town tavern. The only problem we had was getting out - we drove round for about 30 mins before we could find the was out!! Gorgeous houses - very stepford wives.

It sounds lovely, is it easy to park?

We had no problem - plenty of on street parking and a couple of car parks I think.

Sounds like a good place to go and dream about living in Florida ...... might have to take a trip

Its a lovely place to visit! In October they dress the whole place very halloweeny and have tons of pumpkins for sale - loads of people really make a massive effort and dress their houses up for halloween!

At Christmas, they pipe snow into Celebration and the decorations on the houses are lovely too! Little cute shops and things in the centre around the lake!

I personally have a love for the place because I got married at the stunning golf club in 2009 and the setting was gorgeous

is it just me that found the whole place a little too stepford and sterile?

the cafe on the water front is amazing, brilliant, definatley worth a visit! It's a typical american diner and the food is awesome. plenty of nearby parking too.

If you search for ideas for halloween my thread will come up with pics of the Celebration pumpkin patch.

We have eaten at the market st cafe - nice diner style food. Sit afterwards on the rocking chairs by the lake. there is also an ice cream parlour called kilwins.

we've had this on our itinerary for our last 2 visits but it always got 'bumped' in favour of something else. This time it's not getting bumped!

I think it depends when you visit. If you visit midday, mid-week when most people are at work, it can seem that way. At weekends and evenings, when there's lots going on, I love the small town America feel.

i am planning an early evening here on our next trip.

It was overcast the day we went so my photos are a bit grey but here you go....

My doggies loved the treats we bought home for them!

We enjoyed spending a few hours in celebration. It made a change to do something different, whilst I wouldn't go back every trip but it's a nice place to have lunch & a wander around. Next time i'd go when the Farmers Market is on.

We had lunch here and watched the world go by...

Hi there
Can you get to Celebration from the parks and back or do you have to drive
Looks like it might be a nice place to spend a few hours at on the 4th Jul
