City of Kissimmee

Kissimmee is a city in Osceola County, Florida. It is the county seat of Osceola County. The area was originally named Allendale, after Confederate Major J. H. Allen who operated the first cargo steamboat along the Kissimmee River - the Mary Belle. It was renamed Kissimmee when incorporated as a city in 1883. The name, Kissimmee, came from 'Cacema', a Native American name meaning 'long water'. It’s defined by its proximity to the region’s multitude of amusement parks, including the massive Walt Disney World Resort complex.

Beautiful resort with frinedly staff.....

We would DEFINITELY recommend the resort. It was beautiful with friendly staff and delicious food. It was low-key, yet fun. We went on one excursion, which was excellent (swimming with sea turtles and swimming in a cave), and we took the bus to Tulum and Playa del Carmen. I was very glad we weren’t staying in Playa del Carmen, which was SO packed with people. We are still planning our biking expedition for 2027 and would be happy to take next...
