Cons

expensive, uninteresting, soulless fake town

Celebration is the Disney Corporation's vision of what the "perfect" master planned American town would look like. All the houses would be half million dollar McMansions (and yes, kids, that IS what the average house in Celebration sells for). Naturally, it's a town where diversity has no home since diverse communities don't have half-million dollar average home prices.

Oh, sure, there's gardens and everything looks spiffy, just like all the other instant-built planned communities in the nation. At its heart though, its a soulless machine that looks like a dead ringer for the "perfect community" in that movie The Stepford Wives.

The only reason anybody cares about Celebration is because it was designed by Disney Corporation instead of Pulte Corporation. It's a dull place not worth the gas to visit, even if it isn't that far from Disney World itself (most of whose low-paid employees only DREAM of being able to afford a half-million dollar house in a lily white master race community.
