Mt. Dora
 
My mominlaw who is in a wheelchair in Dec. wants to see some sights. Although I have never been to Mt. Dora, I hear it may be a good place to go.

Please advise on what. you think

It's great!!!! Lots of hills though. She could easily roll down the hills.

It is such a quaint place with lots of gift shops and restaurants she will enjoy it ! Most restaurants need to be wheelchair accessable but you should check first.
Enjoy !

A lot of construction on the streets now.

Ok so perhaps I should visit myself first before she comes. I want to show her the best time as she is elderly

Mt. Dora has a website with lots of information. Just Google it and take a look at their schedule of shows or other activities that are scheduled that she may like :)

Went there yesterday and it was a ghost town. Nothing going on so we left. We have been there before and it was easy to park and walk around.

This place is wonderful and wheel chair accessible. Took my Mother in Law there (in wheelchair) and she loved seeing the animals. I'ts about a 40 minute drive from TV

The Christmas Walk this year is scheduled for Dec 6.

We went there last December and the entire town was decorated for the holidays with lights - absolutely beautiful. We plan to return this year in December with a bunch of our neighbors.

We visited in June and there was quite a bit of construction due road damage because of storms. We will definitely check the chamber of commerce website before heading over.
