Lake Sumter Landing

Reviewed By kellymanning2019 - Pilar de la Horadada, Spain

A beautiful little town with a great selection of bars, restaurants, cafes, shops, bakeries, etc. Everything you could ask for as well as a great town square, complete with music every night to suit all tastes, a boardwalk, boat rides and just a wonderfully friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

We saw "White Christmas" TWO times it was so great! Truly a magnificent performance. The actors / singers / dancers were unbelieveable. A trip well worth making!! We are season ticjkeet holders and could not be any prouder of our home town theater.

Disney Springs

Disney World's shopping and dining area consists of Marketplace, Pleasure Island and West Side.

Reviewed By djmes - Hilton, United States

Unique & varied shops, unique dinning & free entertainment (free parking too) all wrapped up in a sparkly Disney atmosphere is just a quick description of Disney Springs, oh, & it's huge, Disney clean & well staffed. One can gripe about the crowds, the prices in the shops (tho they are NOT that exorbitant) & $70 (minimum) dinner for 2 but you can eat at the many cheaper casual walk up eateries & it's fun to browse the stores, especially the gigantic Disney store! I'd suggest going online and checking out all the different stores & eateries. Half the fun of going there is deciding what stores you must visit & what themed restaurant you want to eat in. (the kids will love the raucous T-Rex restaurant!) On a warm night, when everything is lit up & twinkling the free entertainment starts & it's a great place to just stroll around. Highly recommended for its diversity in food choices, shopping & entertainment & you don't have to spend a fortune & still have a good time.

Solomon's Castle

Visit the home, galleries and workshop of internationally renowned artist Howard Solomon. Tour the Castle, walk our beautiful nature trails and enjoy a delightful lunch at the Boat in the Moat Restaurant. Spend the day!

Reviewed By VickieJ03 - Columbus, United States

Amazing place to visit! This is about much more than visiting Solomon's Castle. It is all about seeing the amazing talent, imagination and sense of humor this man had. After talking with multiple employees, who are either family members or close family friends, it is obvious that Howard Solomon was a unique and wonderful man. There are two tours available, one of the castle and one of the auto, planes and trains exhibit. We participated in and enjoyed both. Lunch at the Boat in the Moat was reasonably priced, scrumptious and plentiful. We even took a walk on the nature trail. Time spent on this property was relaxing and serene. We will most likely return and bring friends. PS: It is my thought that the folks who gave poor reviews simply did not have much appreciation for this type of art and creativity. It is not the type of castle that is full of fine furniture and beautiful china. It is a castle that was family home full of love and creativity in a peaceful country setting.

The Arcadia Opera House

The Arcadia Opera House, built in 1906, is a museum and enormous antique shop. It houses an amazing collection of historical items and the theater is in near original condition. Several paranormal investigations have taken place there and the Opera House is a well know haunted location.

Reviewed By Getaway319774

It was a Monday, so many of the antique stores were closed. We were fortunate to stumble on The Bizarre Bazaar located in The Opera House. We spent over an hour wandering in the various small shops. The owner of the building and his shop The Bizarre Bazaar was so helpful finding things for us and giving us good deals on our new treasures. Will certainly go back on our next visit.
