We stayed there a couple of years ago,in Crain drive i think it was. It's on h27 and they have built a new publix supermarket just up from the palms.When we drove up there in november we noticed the whole area is being developed.
Hope you have a great time

we drove around there filming the lovely christmas decorations as there was one house in particular that was "national lampoons christmas vacation" many many lights all over nice, nice looking community even tho it was dark!!
its very very close to walmart, on the same side, and publix just over the road and along abit, it is the 27, we drove past it every day, so its close to the 192 i think, if i'm wrong please correct me! am sure this is the one i am thinking of!

Hi Dave,

We are very close to the Palms as we are on Esprit. There is a new Walmart, Publix right there. There is also a new restaurant right across the street from us so very close to you. I have also heard good things about traveling down the 27 to Haines City and tons down there!

Have a GREAT TIME as I love it in October! (Maybe because it is my birthday and I love to celebrate in Florida!)

Karen, Whats the name of the new restaurant and have you tried it. I get excited every time I hear of new things being built on US27.

Hi Linda-

It is the French restaurant right across from Esprit. Sadly, I have to eat at McDonalds most as with 6 children adult food(esp. french) would be lost and wasted on the little ones![:I]

I do believe Julie has tried it and liked it!

Thanks Karen, we may try it out in February.

I am on the Palms and haven't caught up with this thread as I have been there for the past two weeks on a "holiday "-ha -ha.
The community is well placed -just down from the 192 junction about 1.5 miles and using the Sherbeth road turning you can get to the Disney parks in around 10 mins .The development is a nice mix of residents and str and is quiet .Within 1/2 miles south there is a Publix supermarket ,within 3/4 mile north there is a Walmart and also to the east about 3/4 there is a nother Publix. Add this to the great bakery just up the road and an eating place called the 19th hole plus the proximity to the 192 and I-4 and you have what is a great community.The re is a tennis court and a basket ball court as well as a childrens playground on the community as well.
