The lifeguards set off an alarm if they find a gator in the tubing area - a very loud siren went off when we were there. They said there was a large alligator and we had to get out! They also get people out if there is a storm.
I'd advise taking a picnic, and also wearing water shoes/crocs in the tubing bit - when you get to the end of the tubing river you have to walk to the beginning again

This made me laugh somehow. Crocs and gators, one so soft and squishy and gentle on your feet - and the other ... not

Mount Dora market has moved away from the lake to 4th Avenue. It is very small about the same size as Celebration if not a bit smaller.

I am ashamed to say that before this thread I had never heard of Kelly Park :shame:
I've been to Wekiwa Springs State Park a couple of times and according to Wikipedia it is next door: en.wikipedia/wiki/Dr._Howard_A._Kelly_Park. It looks idyllic!
