Guests will depart the Renaissance for a tour of Historic Mount Dora, a beautiful New England-style town located northwest of Orlando. Mt. Dora has quaint streets, historic architecture, boutiques, and antique shops. A trolley will provide the transportation as your guide tells of the history of the town while pointing out historic homes and landmarks throughout the town.

Next up is a relaxing boat tour on Lake Dora. Guests may meet some of Florida's indigenous creatures such as alligators, blue heron, deer, bald eagles, and much more. After lunch in one of the town's interesting restaurants, guests will be free to roam the shops until their return to the Renaissance, no later than 4:30 pm, allowing time to relax before enjoying the evening's reception and dinner.

Registration fee of $150 includes Friday evening's welcome reception, Saturday's breakfast, tour, and luncheon, as well as Saturday evening's reception, dinner, and program, and Monday's reception and dinner.
