    Sep 6 2025

    Call Kim Hawk at 407-808-9845 for more Celebration Florida information. This was a cheerful Labor Day check‑in from the Near Disney studio in Celebration, Florida, covering the week’s community happenings, school news, safety reminders, charitable events, and a tight real estate market snapshot.

    School and community updates include a save‑the‑date: Monday, September 16, 6–7 p.m., at Celebration High School for a forum with the superintendent, Dr. Mark “Shangh,” focusing on growth, opportunities, and progress in the new academic year. Another can’t‑miss gathering: Tuesday, September 10, 6 p.m., at Heritage Hall (South Village) to meet the new sheriff, Sheriff Blackman. Expect clarity on e‑bike rules—no throttle “dirt‑bike style” bikes without pedals in Celebration—and safety reminders for everyone: wear helmets, stop fully at stop signs, and model good behavior for kids. Tickets can be issued for violations.

    Community spotlight: Scoop Ice Cream in Island Village is hosting a K‑8 fundraiser on Wednesday, September 3, from 4–9 p.m., donating 20% of sales to Celebration K‑8. The evening features a first‑200‑students ice cream hat giveaway, a coloring contest (1st: $30 gift card; 2nd: ice cream pie; 3rd: $10 gift card), and an appearance by Leo the Lion from 6–7 p.m.

    Mark calendars for the beloved, twice‑a‑year Porch & Yard Sale on October 4; this town wide event draws big traffic, so now’s the moment to declutter and bless neighbors with items you no longer need. Another cherished tradition returns: the Superhero Race—A Race Against Cancer—on Sunday, September 28, at Celebration Lakeside Park. Families can register, volunteer, or donate; capes are encouraged, and kudos go to Kelly and the organizing team for years of impact.

    Real estate segment: Inventory remains very tight. Excluding condo‑hotels, only 87 active listings are in Celebration—still under 100 for more than two years. In the past 7 days: 4 new actives, 6 pendings, and 2 sold (12 total touchpoints), illustrating demand outpacing supply. One team listing (5 bed, 2.5 bath, ~2,340 sq ft in East Village with a pool and some remodel credits) just went under contract. A standout affordable option is back on the market: 1221 Stone Cutter Dr., Unit 213 (Artisan Park) at $312,000—2 bed/2 bath with storage, in an elevator building with balconies and conservation/water vibes.

    The show closes by inviting viewers to tune in Wednesdays at 7 p.m. for the Dream Team show and Fridays for evergreen content, and to like/subscribe for continuing coverage of life within a 25‑mile radius of Cinderella’s Castle—because Celebration truly is a magical place to live.
