A cause for Celebration
In Celebration, Florida, renowned architects have worked together with the Walt Disney Company to recreate a simpler time. Modeled on small American towns of the ’40s and ’50s, the streets of this idyllic community are lined with historic-style homes and interspersed with pet-friendly parks and whimsical boutiques and cafés. With a charming lakefront town center and regular events run by enthusiastic locals, such as the weekly farmers market, it's no surprise that so many visitors come to stay in Celebration vacation rentals, hoping to experience a little Disney magic of their own.
Celebration—your gateway to the wonders of Disney World
The renowned Walt Disney World Resort, with its 4 theme parks and 2 waterparks, is just a short drive away from most vacation rentals in Celebration, so your adventure in this fantasyland of soaring castles, thrilling rides, and living cartoon characters couldn’t be closer. Some luxury Celebration vacation rentals have even been decorated to match your favorite Disney movies, a touch that’s sure to get the whole family in the mood for some animation-themed antics before your trip to the world-famous complex.
Exciting ways to see more of Celebration
Celebration was designed to suit pedestrians, with attractive buildings intended to encourage residents and guests alike to explore the town.

You can even take a trip through the picturesque streets in a horse-drawn carriage, a perennial favorite with junior princes and princesses.

Celebration's comfortable climate
Sunshine reigns supreme in Celebration, with an average of over 220 sunny days per year, and the balmy temperatures to match.

Despite the warm weather, the Yuletide spirit always flourishes in Celebration, with artificial snow in the town center creating a sparkling winter wonderland for guests to enjoy.
The pristine natural beauty of Celebration
Careful planning has allowed Celebration to become a verdant, eco-friendly space; the streets are lined with tall, slender palm trees, typical of Florida's subtropical climate, and the elegant houses are fronted by immaculately tended lawns. The terrain is smooth and flat, perfect for little legs that might not be accustomed to tougher hikes, and the neighborhood has many rustic waterways and ponds, fringed by bright flowers. Fish and turtles are common in these habitats, and as you’d expect in Florida, some of the bigger lakes, such as Lake Rianhard, are even home to some wild alligators.
