Celebration is a community in Osceola County, Florida, near Walt Disney World, designed by the Walt Disney Company to be a "perfect community". Though it was founded in 1994, the town feels a bit like something out of a TV show from the mid–20th century, with well-kept suburban houses and retro futurist architecture.
