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 !

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.

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.
