We went on the last day of our last trip and arranged to meet Peter from Car on the drive there to take us back to the airport. It was lovely and relaxing, a great way to spend our last few hours. The kids loved the water fountains and were disparate to play in them like the other children, unfortunately with a flight to catch they had to just sit and watch. We will be visiting celebration a bit earlier in the next trip so the kids can finally play in the fountains!

There's just something about the place if that makes sense.
Wildlife including the baby gators .

We love sitting outside Market Street Diner, feels really relaxing after the parks. DS didn't want to go for a 'drive to see what Celebration was like' but when we got there it was also the evening before their Car Show and the whole street was full of Maseratis and Lambourghinis, DS was very happy sitting outside the diner as they drove past, and we got some great photos.

from memory, you go by the school head straight and through a big entrance. as you drive in there is a lake on the left hand side.

i know the directions will be useless but its the best i can give lol

There looks to be more than a few Millionaire houses in Acadia Lane, when you go on Google Earth, it is at the right hand side away from the main body of Celebration. Go up Celebration Blvd, then down North Village St onto Acadia Terrace and take it from there.

Celebration is the most beautiful place I seen in Orlando. You just turn a corner and straight away you are in people's image of USA you know like you see in the movies. It is one of my favourite places to visit.

It's a great break from the hustle and bustle of the parks! We go in late November and always pay a visit for an evening. They make it "snow" and it's really festive, also has the most realistic Santa I've ever seen! Great for the kids, young and old
