For those of us in Georgia, traveling to Florida can be as simple a road trip or taking a short flight from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport.

Once you get to Kissimmee, you’re just 30 minutes from Orlando and Disney World. Here’s what you need to know to celebrate Christmas in Kissimmee with plenty of public displays and shows!
