I am so happy I got to see Johannessen Lights this year for Xmas!…read more There is still time to see this light display - Dec. 26-Dec. 31, 2023 from 6-10 is your last chance. It may seem like a lot of work to get to it quite honestly but it's worth it. Park at the Publix parking lot. There were police officers to help you cross, and it's about a half a mile to a mile walk in the neighborhood. When you get there, there are photo opps and you can peak a bit into the front, but make your way to the line to the back. It's 10 to get to back. It's great and worth it. There is so much to see here in every angle and everyone here working is very nice. There's even an overlook to see up top. We went around 9PM on a Saturday and the back was closing around 10:30 and the front around 10:45. We stayed until the very end to see all that we could. I was so happy to see this display and will make it on the holiday Christmas home rotation. This one and 2811 Clemwood in Orlando were my two main faves. I know there's a lot more, but these two were most memorable. Johannassen's address is 7849 Georgeann, Winter Park, FL!

The address is: 7849 Georgeann St. Winter Park, FL 32792…read more The Johannessen Lights is one of the best Christmas light experiences you can find in the area. Nancy and I have been coming here for several years now. The family is actually in the business of decorating other family's homes, so it only makes sense for them to put on the best show around. The entire property is lit-up, including the back yard. It is free to get in, but access to the back yard cost $10 (used to be $5, bummer). Staff informed me that it takes about 6-months to set up the property for this event and over 2-million lights, wow! Guests used to be able to park on main road leading to the home, but now, the road is blocked off to non-residents, and Police are routing traffic, so you have to park at the Publix or Ross parking area about a ¼ mile away. If you have issues with walking, I highly recommend brining a wheel chair. If you are local, it would be way easier to ride your bicycle. There are two Porto-lets on site, but they are quite messy and there is no lighting, so bring a headlamp and a lot of disinfectant wipes. Once you make it to the property, you will find a variety of photo op areas like the main entrance, Santa's sleigh, the stacked presents, Santa's reindeer, the nut cracker guards, huge lighted ornaments, and many more. Also inside, the Johannessen family is selling snacks, fresh popcorn, hot chocolate, and other drinks at a fair price. There have been a few changes since we first started coming here, like I mentioned, about the parking and cost to get in the back yard; regardless, this family is putting a lot of hard work, money, and resources into this annual light show and essentially asking for nothing in return. I highly recommend making a donation or paying the $10 to get into the back yard. This goes a long way and show's the family that their love for Christmas and the community is appreciated. If I can make one recommendation to improve this event, it would be to hire someone to clean the Porto-let's at least hourly and provide some type of lighting directly outside the Porto-lets so guests can see what they are doing. Another thing to note is that this place gets packed! Our most recent visit was Thursday 12/14/2023 around 8pm and it was a madhouse. The line to get in the back yard was loooooong, and so was the line for concessions. I recommend getting here to find parking around 5:30pm so that by the time you get to the house, 6-ish it will be dark enough to enjoy the lights and see all the sites before the crowds come rolling in.

Ordered flowers to surprise my new girlfriend at work the Monday after a great date. Was assured…read morethat they would be delivered by 4 as requested. Called at 4:10 and the man confirmed that they had been delivered. When I didn't hear from her by 5 I was concerned so I had to ruin the surprise and ask if she got them, she didn't. Called back and the man apologized and said he would upgrade them the next day. When I called back the following morning a woman answered the phone and stated that they didn't even have roses and wouldn't get any until that afternoon. It was clearly a case of one person not knowing what the other was doing. I cancelled my order and went to the shop for my receipt. The male owner was absolutely indignant and rude that I cancelled the order and even more so that I should have the nerve to ask for a receipt. He kept saying how busy he was and he didn't have time to deal with me. Me, the person who paid $85 for flowers that were not delivered and was even told incorrectly that they were. I have never experienced such rude, unprofessional and unacceptable conduct from a flower shop and will never use them again under any circumstance.

Do not ever order from this company. They are an inactive business but still process your credit…read morecard under another company name. After placing an online order, I learned the person I was sending the flowers to never received them. The phone number listed is unanswered as well as online contact. Since I live out of State, a local relative drove to the address. When the business was approached directly in person, which by the way is also a house, they acknowledged they were out of business but claimed they forwarded their orders to another florist. Shortly after being approached, my order was delivered by another florist...not what I ordered and looked much cheaper. When I contacted the florist that actually made the delivery, they said they had no relationship with Palm Harbor Florist. They even told me the flowers delivered were much cheaper then what I paid. SCAM As much I want to support local business...be careful they are order pushers, local businesses know and take their orders and take a pay cut. The order they place to customers is subpar. Most people placing the order will never know. My order went through bloomingdays...they claim no responsibility but I don't buy it.
