Today we took a trip to the town of Celebration, Florida. The town was originally designed by the Walt Disney Company. Disney had high hopes for the planned community, however it seems to have taken a turn for the worse ever since Disney relinquished their ownership of it.
The town has a very Disney-esq feel. It truly is beautiful, and you do feel as if you are walking through the Disney Parks while you are there. But all the magic of Disney is missing!
While the population of the town is rising, it is moving from a fun and exciting community to an expensive place to live with a much older demographic than was originally intended.
Many of the businesses are run by people who could play the part of the Disney villains in many of Disney’s films! We’re talking Scrooge McDuck!
Some Disney businesses still occupy buildings in the community, including Florida’s Radio Disney, Disney Vacation Club’s Time Shares and other Disney offices.
Have you ever visited Celebration, Florida? If so we would love to know what you thought!

I’ve never been to it, I’ve just been through it in passing- more times than I can count. I’ve just always thought of it as wayyy to upscale an area for me to want to visit.
