More than 3 million tiny white lights outline the buildings and twinkle in the trees and bushes along St Augustine’s historic streets. The display starts in mid November and lasts until January 31. The lights are pretty but it’s the other attractions that make a trip to St. Augustine worthwhile. Click here for some of the places that we visited in 2014.
The best displays are along Avendia Menendez. Most of the sidewalks and curb cuts are in very good condition and the terrain is flat so it’s fairly easy to get around.
Parking is limited in most areas of St. Augustine especially for oversized vehicles.There’s a free parking lot for RVs only on the corner of West Castillo and Riberia Street, west of the visitor center and parking garage ( which has all day parking for cars – $15.00 ). The signs in the lot are a little confusing. There is no fee except if you’re staying twenty four hours ( $35.00) but sleeping overnight in the lot is prohibited. Lights 29.89451, -81.31082
Very pretty, seeing the night sky lit up like that. I hope you're staying in Florida now, the rest of the states are too chilly! (excepting Hawaii, of course)
ReplyDeleteIt's even a bit cold down here but any day that we don't run our furnace (haven't for weeks)is a good one!
DeleteWe volunteered at Anastasia State Park for two months two years in a row in St. Augustine. We spent Christmas Eve there and it was wonderful. Your photos are great. It's a great city. You are right about the parking, more is needed especially for larger vehicle's. To answer your question about Disney a definite thumbs up. We wanted the experience and the perks which were wonderful, the pay was secondary. It was magical for us being able to take part in so many things. A bonus for us was seeing so many happy faces. As a visitor you did it right staying at Fort Wilderness. Safe travels.
ReplyDeleteWe really like St. Augustine. We're not big fans of touristy towns but this one is something special.
DeleteThanks for your perspective on Disney. It does seem like a great place to work!
