If you’re planning on visiting Florida then Kissimmee is where you want to be. What makes Kissimmee so great? What, the fact that it’s close to everything isn’t enough for you? Staying in Kissimmee puts you right in the middle of it all, so if you want to do it all Kissimmee, Florida is your best chance at accomplishing that goal.


Just a short drive away you’ll find:


- Disney’s Cruise Lines

- Ocala National Forest

- Disney MGM Studios

- Richard Petty Driving Experience

- Epcot


And that’s just a small taste of the permanent action when vacationing in Florida. Every year special shows and events come to Florida for the sun and surf. To help you plan your trip, get more information on the great activities available at websites such as FloridaKiss.


Consider a Vacation Rental Home


When you make the decision to stay in Kissimmee for your Florida vacation, in addition to which of the great activities you’re going to partake of you should consider where you’re going to stay. If you want to make it truly memorable trip, forget the hotels and stay in a vacation rental home.

Why choose a vacation home rental over a hotel? To start with, vacation rental homes are often very competitively priced with premium hotels, and the advantages over hotels are many:


- Privacy

- More and larger luxuries, such as hot tubs and onsite laundry

- Multiple bedrooms

- Space

- Feeling of luxury


Finding the Perfect Vacation Home Rental


There are a few things you’ll want to consider when choosing a vacation home. First is location. If you’re visiting Florida, then a vacation home in Kissimmee is a great place due to its central location.


New services from online companies utilizing real-time database technologies allow you to search thousands of vacation home listings online with ease. Wherever you are looking to vacation, modern technology allows you to find the perfect vacation home in a snap.


Next, know what you’re getting into. A good vacation home rental site will be able to provide plenty of pictures. Unlike hotel rooms, vacation home rentals are privately owned homes, and every house differs. Make sure that the house you rent has the amenities you want, will provide you with appropriate comforts, and isn’t an old beat up barn.


If you aren’t able to get photos from a vacation-rental website, try contacting the home owner directly to ask if they can email some updated photos to you.

Walt Disney and the Quest for Community (Design & the Built Environment)

$43.97

During the final months of his life, Walt Disney was consumed with the world-wide problems of cities. His development concept at the time of his death on December 15th, 1966 would be his team’s conceptual response to the ills of the inner cities and the sprawl of the megalopolis: the “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow” or, as it became known, EPCOT. This beautifully written, instantly engrossing volume focuses on the original concept of EPCOT, which was conceived by Disney as an experimental community of about 20,000 people on the Disney World property in central Florida. With its radial plan, 50-acre town center enclosed by a dome, themed international shopping area, greenbelt, high-density apartments, satellite communities, monorail and underground roads, the original EPCOT plan is reminiscent of post-war Stockholm and the British New Towns, as well as today’s transit-oriented development theory. Unfortunately, Disney himself did not live long enough to witness the realization of his “model city.” However, EPCOT’s evolution into projects such as the EPCOT Center and the town of Celebration displays a remarkable commitment by the Disney organization to the original EPCOT philosophy, one which continues to have relevance in the fields of planning and development. >>Read More
