    Hi Sharon,

    Old Town Kissimmee is a great place to spend an evening. The cars are amazing. There are a few shops to browse around and sometimes there is live entertainment on, we have seen line dancers in the past. You won't miss it, it's on the 192 and very easy to spot, there is a funfair and a sky dive thingy (can't think what it's called now)which can be spotted because of the lights.

    Still got to get to Broadwalk myself but judging by some of the photos on here is looks great.

    Hi Sharon

    Yes Old Town is a lively place particularly on a Saturday night when there aer even more cars and older cars. There is often entertainment as well but it great fun just watching people on the thrill rides too. The food outlets are mainly fast food rather than high quality restaraunts - we normally eat before we go. It is really easy to find as it is off the 192 quite near the junction with the I4 and you will see the towers of the slingshot from a distance.

    The Boardwalk is also excellent - just like the seaside in the 50s. Much more tranquil during the day but quite lively in the evenings with entertainers on the boardwalk. There are some good restaurants but they do get very busy so book ahead if you want a meal.

    It really is amazing how much there is to do.

    we have been past old town but not stopped, it's fairly easy to find, if you do a search at the top you will come across some topics and pics of the car rally

    the boardwalk we discovered on the last day of our last florida trip and wish we'd headed over sooner, it is a lovely place and the atmostphere is fab, if you have the time and the appetite you should check out the kitchen sink at beaches n cream, this is high on my "to do" list this next trip [grin]

    The car park for visitors to the Boardwalk is opposite the hotel. There are traffic lights at the entrance. You then cross the road, head for the main entrance to the Hotel and you will see some steps down the to Boardwalk just before the main entrance. If you have someone in a wheelchair or children in strollers you will see the disabled access signs and you go through the hotel to the lift.
