We love the Farmers Market at Winter Park. There's some lovely shops there and many bars and cafe's and there's also a Cheesecake Factory there.

The town square is very pretty and the massive Amtrak trains are fab to watch as they come in

We've been very lucky and been able to park kerbside on East Morse Blvd about 50 yards from the boat every time we've been.

Fabulous thank you

Ha ha I didn’t realise it was so far away. I will look at the Uber as for the first part of the trip we have no car so if we can get there by public transport that would be fab

We went on the Winter Park Distillery tour. Very interesting and nice samples.

Winter Garden for us, Farmers Market is fab and few tourists.
Just a cheeky question. why does Winter Park want UK tourists so badly?

We have been to Winter Park a few times and really enjoy a day out there but last time we went we used the train whih stops right in the middle of town. The line has now been extended and starts in Poinciana but we caught it on Sand Lake Road from just past Florida Mall.

Is it possible for the OP to answer the question?
