About Kissimmee
Kissimmee is the largest city and county seat of Osceola County, on the north-west shore of Lake Tohopekaliga. The lake is known for bass fishing, and Lakefront Park has a walking path and a children's playground. Tourism took over from cattle ranching after Walt Disney World opened nearby in 1971, and most tourist activity is along Highway 192. Old Town on that road has shops, a couple of restaurants and a Ferris wheel, and stays open into the late evening. The homes are scattered around the Kissimmee area rather than in one district, mostly sleeping around seven, with a garden and nearly always a private pool.
