View Full Version : 1st Christmas in Florida
Hello. This will be our first Christmas away from home. We are from NJ. We will arrive in Clermont on Sunday 12/18 and leave Christmas day. Any suggestions or ideas on sites to see during the Christmas week? We have 5 day passes to Universal Studios/IOA. My sons are 13 and 15.

Welcome to the forums, i am sure lots of the gang will help you out here! You could also lets the boys use the kids area!
Celebration in Kissimmee, which can be reached from the 192, is very pretty, and it 'snows' every evening between 6-8 pm (that is if you haven't already seen enough). There are some lovely restaurants there as well. Well worth a visit if you want a break from the parks.

Market Street diner in Celebration is always on our to do list for food :P
Go to Kissimmee old town one night. The best time to visit is on a Saturday night, the atmosphere is really good and I am sure your sons will enjoy it.

We've just returned from Florida, Macy's Holiday Parade is well worth seeing at Universal.I was actually in the parade as a volunteer Balloon Handler.
Loved it.
Old Town is Fabulous and a great place to visit. Watch for the discount coupons for this place, worth taking a look.
Nice place to have a cold beer too.

Well, we have arrived. The weather is kind of chilly compared to what I expected. It rained all day yesterday. We are going to venture out to Universal Studios tomorrow. I went out to the Super Wal-mart, great store!

glad theyre having a great time already!! those walmarts are brill! i love them!
We had a great time this week. We went to the Pirate show last night. That was really cool. We went to Gatorland today. That was fun as well. Well we are off to the train tomorrow for a 16 hour ride back to Virginia and then a 5 hour drive to my parents in North Carolina. What an adventure, it's been fun!
