Feel like royalty in a horse-drawn carriage ride at Celebration with a smartly dressed driver in a lush park on a clear day.
Curator’s statement

Celebration, a small town in Central Florida, is a special place to me. It is a town that perfectly combines the charm of a small community with the magic of Disney. Every visit feels like stepping into a storybook, with its beautiful streets, friendly locals, and a feeling of nostalgia that captures the imagination. It was started by the Walt Disney Company. I grew up at Disney World and went to Celebration often. I'm happy to share my favorite places and experiences in this beautiful town.
