We try to go on a Sunday morning so that we catch the Farmers Market and then have lunch and a stroll.

Hi Alyson,
Well worth a visit and a walk. The back of the first lake leads into a second lake and worth the walk to look at the lovely homes. Lovely little individual shops buy an ice cream and sit in a rocking chair overlooking the lake and watch the world go by.

Hey...Val..... dont forget to mention not to sit in the chairs with bare legs when they have been out in the sun all day[msncry]... cos it dont half hurt[msnscared]....and dont feed the gators in the lake [msneek]

It is so nice sitting out on the front early evening when the sun goes down...

Thanks for all your replies. It will definitely be on our list of places to visit. It sounds like a plan for one of our chill out days.

I really like Celebration and it is well worth a visit. Couple of nice restaurants there and it's beautifully designed.

I can't help but wonder what the people who live there think of all us tourists driving round ogling their homes. Last year we had to visit a Doctor (a quack, we decided) on the 192 who had a very gossipy and loud nurse. She spent most of her time with us complaining about the Beckhams who had apparently been there the week before but had left protesting that she was too unprofessional (can't help but agree with them). Anyway, the point of her story was that Goldenballs' father owned the biggest house in Celebration, so we spent an enjoyable half an hour or so driving round the area to find the biggest house we could in the hope that we could get a picture of us with the superhero.

We certainly found what we reckoned to be the biggest house, but there was nobody there, so we'll never know!

Sometimes I think we have no taste whatsoever, but hey, you only live once.

Check out the programme of events at the Celebration town center website as there's always something going on. When we were over in November they had a Fall festival on a Saturday evening that started at 5pm and was situated overlooking the lake and through the main area of the Market Place. The roads were closed off and there was a jazz band on a stage with room to dance,all the restaurants had gazebos set up up outside and were serving food and drink. We loved the paella and sangria that the Columbia were serving.[msntongue] There was entertainment for the children and horse and cart rides around the town. It finished off with a fantastic firework show that lasted 30 minutes! A wonderful night out.

We were there for that too Debra. I agree a great night out [clap]

I would also add that it you have young children, take a towel and swimming costumes, as they have a fantastic fountain there too, where the children love to stand and run under (weather permitting !)

Celebration has something for everyone . We love to go there for the July 4th celebrations . We mingle among the natives ,enjoy the music sample some "real American fare " like Funnel Cake and watch the terrific fireworks display which finishes off the wonderful evening . Other times we just go there for an evening stroll , its so peaceful.

We like to go on a Friday at around 4.30 - 5.00 we sit outside the Tavern with a beer then you get all the locals meeting there for a Friday drink after work - great people watching. I have to agree with everybody else it's a great place and can't wait to visit again in June[msnsmile2]
