Florida Oranges?

[rdkargol]

Being from Iowa a real treat would be an outstanding Florida orange. We will be there the first part of Dec. and would like to be able to experience a Florida orange. Any good places to obtain some around Disney World? Is this possible?
Thanks.

Early December I think the oranges would be from Chilie.

Never mind im wrong it looks like peak season.

Are you driving or flying?

If you have a vehicle, Showcase of Citrus is worth a visit. There are many varieties of oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and even key limes that you can pick yourself or you can buy pre-bagged fruit at the main building for just a bit more. The selection was great when I went last mid-December and resulted in the baking of many lemon meringue and key lime pies that lasted through until the end of winter.

There are also quite a few orange trees growing in random places (outside of WDW). If there is fruit that has already fallen to the ground and gone to waste, a few picked fruits would hardly seem missed.

Sadly, I've never found a fresh Florida orange to purchase on property. I only visit in November and December though.

That seems like advice that would serve to get someone into serious trouble.

We're flying.

There's a place on 192 called Orange World. Can't miss it, the building is a big orange. We used to have some oranges shipped home from there. Always in perfect condition.
