We might get a few strange looks if the people we ask don't have a clue what we mean!

I'll know who you are because you'll be the only male doing the tour alone - your DW will either be back at your accommodation doing your ironing, that's if she hasn't fallen into the lagoon at Epcot

In the true spirit of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation in Celebration last night. The second photo is of Jeater Bend, it was pretty difficult to get a good angle but it was definitely worth seeing - the photo doesn't do the display justice - there was a full light show complete with snow blowers and fire flares. As JAF suggested it may be worth a look on You Tube.

Sadly didn't bump into Tetrarch(that I know of) and only took a few photos of the outside of the houses on the Holiday Homes Trail as it seemed a little intrusive (and very busy) to take inside ones. There were some absolutely gorgeous houses especially their kitchens but what I did notice in some cases was there was a real lack of land attached to them. Lots of other houses that weren't open for the trail were decorated so even if the Holiday Trail isn't on it is worth a drive around if you have time.

Thanks for the update on the tour. Glad you enjoyed it, we are going to take our niece and nephew to Celebration in a couple of weeks.

We flew home from Florida yesterday, so arrived back this morning and this is the first opportunity I've had to update this thread. No photography was allowed inside the homes, understandably, but some of them were just amazing. Although the home tour is over for this year, for anyone visiting during December it is definitely worth a drive round Celebration for a look. Here are some of our photos to show what you can expect...

We went on a tour when it was first built , had to watch a presentation,then taken round some houses newly built . I remember they said the schools would be all on computer including homework ! Don't think we had internet at home then ! God that was a long time ago
