Celebration is a community development, developed by Disney. People live there. There is a website, search "Celebration Disney" in google, and you will find everything you need.

just up the road. Take I-4 and follow the signs, or Buena Vista Way Straight there

sure... it's just a town... but a damned cool one. It looks like The Truman Show or Pleasantville

I heard that a high profile New York Yankee makes his winter home there, anyone know if this is true? Also I thought I read an article about some minister who lived there and he was protesting some of the rules (curtain length, color etc. of the houses. He did this by putting gaudy pink flamingos on the lawns. Anyone heard this, it was a while ago.

We visited Celebration last March and stayed at the Celabration Hotel for one night. The hotel is very nice and the town is ULTRA cute. There are some really good places to eat too. I think it is worth a trip.

Do you happen to know the name of this establishment?

Do they sell by the slice?

Heading for the great escape.
CELEBRATION

I thought it was the expression of joy following a pleasing experience.
Or indeed a box of cheapo confectionery made by the Rowntree Mackintosh company.

If you are flying and renting a car take the South exit out of the garage and get on the Greenway. Head for US192. The Greenway takes you right to and through Celebration.

Most of the hourly CM's live there. A cheap place is around $300,000.:lol:

Okay... So what's that in American standards? Is it cheap cheap or "are you kidding? THIS is cheap? What a rip-off!!!" cheap?

:o Sorry, I was trying to be funny. The houses in Celebration are quite expensive. Check out sites like Celebration Real Estate and you'll see you don't get much until you get into the $750,000 or so places.

Now if these houses were in the San Francisco bay area they would be priced about right. But in central Flordia, nope.

How far was it away from the theme parks and the rest of Disney World.
Also, what is the theming of the hotel?

Just an estimation, but I think 5-10 miles from some of the parks. I think Epcot and MGM might be the closest.
