Home

My favorite thing about Kissimmee was the experiences we had dining around time. At the end of each night, we picked a place to eat and shared our thoughts about the day, gathered around a table. As simple as that sounds, it was so comforting. As a family, we felt so removed from our creature comforts. By hundreds of miles. The one feeling we shared was how we felt like

Home away from home

My favorite Kissimmee story was the experience we had dining around time. At the end of each night, we picked a place to eat and shared our thoughts about the day gathered around a table. As simple as that sounds, it was one of the most cozy experiences I have had on vacation. As a family, we felt so removed from our comforts. By hundreds of miles. The one feeling

Princesses & Presidents in Kissimmee!

It had been a long summer, dealing with sinkhole repairs, doing some of the work ourselves and watching grandchildren on the weekend. I saw an a promotion on Gaylord Palms of Kissimmee’s facebook page for the shuttle launch. Try as we might, we could not get through to get one of the discounted rooms.

From cowtown to gateway..My kissimmee

In 1995, I made my first visit to Florida with two of my best friends. To save money, we decided to stay in Kissimmee at a suites motel. We had planned to visit Disney, but we found lots of fun things to do in Kissimmee, too, like Old Town and mini-golf. We had so much fun that less than a year later, I ended up moving down here. One of

When I was little…

My Kissimmee Story is that I loved going to Kissimmee/Orlando when I was little because it meant going to Disney World. Sometimes, we stayed at Disney hotels and sometimes we stayed in Kissimmee hotels. I’ll always have good memories about visiting Kissimmee!

A Dream Vacation

In my head I’ve been to Kissimmee and had a glorious vacation where the weather was perfect and the skies were always sunny. We had a great time doing amazing things and seeing the sights.

Splendid China:

My most treasured memory of visiting Kissimmee, FL is a 2001 tour of Splendid China. I’m saddened that the exhibit was closed but also aware that it opened my eyes to a world I’d hardly dreamed of visiting. The depth and breadth of intricate craftmanship of the figurines, structures, and landscape amazed me. Watching the performers and enjoying the meal drove home to my heart the culture of China. I’ve
