If you have the odd morning or afternoon free, why not pop over to the beautiful World of Orchids on Old Lake Wilson Road? It is within easy driving distance of the villas, WDW resorts and I-drive. Admission is now free and you only need about 90 minutes to see it. Very relaxing and great photo opportunities.

I don't know their web address, but the phone number is 407 396 1887. I found them very helpful.

We popped in in November and the garden walk out the rear of World of Orchids was closed. Not sure if it was for reburb, or permanent.

As far as I know it is open now. I spoke to them over the phone only 2 weeks ago.

It's a great place to spend a couple of hours wandering around the flowers and chatting to the birds...

Is it still open? Our villa is not far from there either, we went passed a few times and it looked closed.

It's a pity I wanted to take my in-laws when they visit next year my mother-in-law would love it.

We went there a number of years ago, as you say the flowers were impressive, but to be honest it is a little tatty. The lasting impression I have is of a poor parrot who had lost most of it's feathers looking very sad a miserable, I felt this urge to take him home.

I admire the lady who owns this -she will not sell out to developers at any price, because of her love of her job -so go and visit, and keep it going!!

This place looked like it took a battering from the hurricanes in 2004 and I presumed it had closed down as it looks deserted!

It's quite close to our villa too. We passed it several times on our short-cut thru to the 192, but it always looks closed. How nice that the owner is sticking it out though and not selling up to the developers, good luck to her!
Will pay her a visit on our next trip.

As has been said, it looks closed when we have driven by, however I didn't know the history so will pop in when we are next over. I love orchids too such a beautiful flower.
