About Celebration, United States
The community of Celebration was planned by the Walt Disney© company as an experimental prototype of a futurisitc city, where people should follow some rules such as painting their houses in a fixed palette of colors and moving on electric vehicles, Segways, bikes, or on foot. This town stands out for its diverse and friendly population in a wooded area, in the metropolitan area of Orlando, south of the Walt Disney World Resort, connected by World Drive, that leads to Magic Kingdom.
Entertainment options in Celebration include the AMC Celebration 2 movie theaters, the Misty Blue Acres Carriage that offers rides in carts pulled by a horse, and the Celebration Golf Club. The town is split in eight villas and it is one of the greenest cities in the world; it has several parks and paths for bicycles and pedestrians. Some of its parks include The Commons, with a gazebo, a pool, a children's playground, and a volleyball court; Lakeside Park, located next to Lake Rianhard, featuring a heated pool, conference facilities, and tennis, basketball, and bocce courts; Longmeadow Park, that houses large gardens; Spring Park and East Crescent Park, also with pools; and Artisan Park, with an amphitheater and a petanque court.
