Celebration
The picture-perfect community of Celebration, 25 minutes southwest of Orlando, is a place like no other. Founded by The Walt Disney Company in the 1990s and named one of Forbes Magazine’s prettiest neighborhoods in America, Celebration features an idyllic downtown with architecture inspired by traditional Southern towns.
The lakeside Celebration Town Center offers visitors a mix of boutique shopping and restaurants along brick-lined streets, and visitors can enjoy the scenery with horse-drawn carriage rides or with a stroll or bike ride along Lake Rianhard.
Celebration’s culinary offerings include flavor-packed breakfasts at Maple Street Biscuit Company, delectable French pastries at Le Macaron, and fine Spanish and Cuban cuisine at the famed Columbia Restaurant. In Celebration’s stores, shoppers can find an array of gifts, gourmet food, clothing, and home decor. Browse jewelry, essential oils, and self-care products at Gypsy Moon Market and accessories, toys, and collectibles at Market Street Gallery.
