"Now Snowing Nightly" ... Celebration Christmas events

Wondering if anyone has taken in the Christmas events in Celebration and what your thoughts were. Worth a visit? Is parking plentiful and easy to find? Is it super, super busy?

We will be in Orlando from December 23 to December 30, and thought it might be worth a couple hours time in the evening. Would love some feedback from past visitors.

It is certainly worth a visit apart from the "snowfall" there will be entertainment going on ,carriage rides the shops will be open and the atmosphere is great.We don't usually have trouble parking there it maybe that you have to walk a little way to get tot he main street but that's all .
When you are a must do is a tour around the town to see all the magnificent house decorations .

Thanks for the great feedback . We are from Canada, and will be "missing" our Christmas snow (the only time we actually enjoy the snow is during the holiday season....the rest of the year, its ), so the "snowfall" is rather appealing!

Do you remember how much the carriage rides cost? And is that a good way to see all the holiday lights on the houses, or is that best done from our own vehicle and self-tour?

Sorry can't remember but definitely do a self guided tour of the houses if possible print a map of the town so you can check where you have been other wise you may miss some great homes
