Our 2026 theme is "christmas Vacation"
Of course, Christmas vacation in Florida is very enjoyable with lots of sun, balmy breezes, sandy beaches, frosty adult beverages and good times with friends and family. December in Orlando, Florida is even more special because you can participate in the STCTB annual specialty shows and sweepstakes.
What could be better? Come and join the fun!
