Has anyone been there before please? Am planning my honeymoon and would like some feedback. Thank you.

Hi there! I live in Orlando, which is very close to Mount Dora. It's a small quaint town...but there's not a whole to it. There are lots of antique shops.... and that's about it. Good luck!

Mount Dora is a pleasant stop in the area - as Sarah said it's an antique-y sort of place, no doubt full of bed and breakfasts emitting clouds of potpourri scent. Very nice town park in the center of things - we happened along during what seemed like a whole-town sidewalk sale - lots of cool things to see or purchase, at fairly high cost.

I thought St. Augustine was nicer than Mt. Dora. I wasn't all that impressed with the rooms in the bed and breakfasts, either. It's not a bad place, I just thought other places such as St. Augustine were better.

You can see everything in Mt. Dora in half a day. Honeymoon in St. Augustine, stay on the beach or in a B&B.

Go with St. Augustine. I have relatives in Mt. Dora & Eustis areas & it's nothing to brag about.

I live about 25 miles from Mt. Dora, and while it's a nice place to go for a day-trip, I don't think of it as being a "honeymoon" type of place. It would get kind of boring after a day or 2, even on a honeymoon!

Any idea how I can get to Mt Dora from ORL, other than a cab ?

Rent a car it would probably be cheaper.

In the waaaaaaay distant future there is talk of a train possibly running from downtown Orlando to Mt. Dora area as part of Sunrail system.

I was bored silly...

Check out The Lakeside Inn in Mt. Dora. Built in 1883. It's on Lake Dora. Since this is part of Lake County I believe, you could check out renting a boat for fishing or skiing. Then there are the antiques. You could also do a day trip to Orlando.
