This tour is planned for a minimum of 20 people and a maximum of 44 people. We have space available but hurry as time to purchase show tickets is now!
Dress at your discretion as long as you wear comfortable shoes. You may wish to dress in holiday attire.
*A departure/return site is planned for the BACK parking lot at Winter Park Baptist Church. The church is located at 4700 Wrightsville Avenue and has a tall white steeple. The BACK of the church is on Park Avenue where there is no street number. The parking lot that we will use is a pie-shaped property between Park Avenue and Pine Grove Drive. This lot is also across the street from Pine Grove Office Park and The Wesley Memorial Activity Center. You will see vehicles marked Winter Park Baptist Church parked on the lot and most likely the charter motorcoach will be in place when you arrive.

Frances Parnell Travel Adventures makes every effort not to cancel a travel event. Thus, early deposits are requested. A deposit is required for a secure reservation. If at deposit time there is an indication that participation is too low, the cancellation can be made and deposits refunded. Thus, clients are informed well ahead of the travel event so they will not go on thinking the trip will happen. If, however, deposits are sufficient by the due date and there is still availability, others will be allowed to join the group. Interested people are always invited to take the available seats!!!
