Celebration is connected directly to the Walt Disney World parks and resorts by World Drive; the north end of World Drive begins near the Magic Kingdom and its south end connects to Celebration Boulevard, allowing Celebration residents and guests to drive to Disney property without having to use any busy thoroughfares. With the rising population, Disney has divested most of its control over Celebration in the years since it founded the town, although several Disney business units occupy the town's office buildings. Recently, some residents have petitioned for incorporation of the town under state law. This has become a major controversy in the community as many residents feel uninformed about the issues, especially those concerning the cost of living.

A new tradition was started on September 29, 2007, by Heart's Truth Ministry, to bring all of the Churches in town together at the Fall Faith Festival. Andy Chrisman, formerly with the Contemporary Christian Band 4Him, was the highlight of the evening. Rain delayed the event briefly, after prayer for its continuation, the festival continued though 11:00 PM (Past its scheduled time due to the rain). 4Him is a Contemporary Christian group founded in 1990. ...
The event saw over 2500 people overall, and all of the proceeds went to Heart's Truth Ministry. Every Christian church had an opportunity to have their band lead in Worship throughout the evening. Even an unexpected, but appreciated guest, Carolyn Pankalla, sang songs from her new album.[3]
Transportation Contrary to its design as a quintessential American town, Celebration does not have any road named Main Street, primarily because of unwanted comparisons with Disney's more famous Main Street USA in the Magic Kingdom, and secondarily because that name is already used elsewhere in Osceola County. The two main roads going through the center of the downtown area are named Market Street and Front Street. Other streets in Celebration include: Main Street in Los Altos, California. ...
The Magic Kingdom is a theme park within the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, near Orlando. ...
This is considered the main drag in the town. The road stretches from US 192 to Artisan Park where it ends in a traffic circle. Starting from US 192 near the Disney Parks and the Celebration water tower, you can find a small shopping plaza. From there, Celebration Avenue passes the North Village, splits the Celebration golf course, winds through a few downtown shops and schools, and then proceeds into the parks and homes in the newer sections of Celebration. Celebration Boulevard has two sections. The most public section is an avenue parallel to I-4 that includes many commercial businesses and Celebration High School. The architecture on the street is mostly Celebration Modern style. This style reflects art Streamline Moderne and Art Deco influences with its sleek lines, sparse but effective ornamentation, and ample opportunities for individually expressive special features. The entire street is lined with two rows of Washington Palms. The buildings on the street include sitting areas under the shade of trees and trellises along their frontage. The other section of Celebration Boulevard lies on the other side of the golf course, closer to the Celebration Water Tower in the North Village. Here, Celebration Boulevard is almost completely residential. In addition to the homes perched behind white picket fences, this section of Celebration Boulevard flows past the Georgetown condominiums, the community pool, and soccer fields.
