30 YEARS OF NATURE & THRILLS

This June marks Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures’ 30 th Anniversary. Their journey began in 1994 at East Lake Fish Camp. What started as a weekend pastime with family and friends quickly evolved into sharing the adventure of airboating with visitors.

With unwavering support from family, the first airboat was purchased. They became ambassadors for the real Florida experience. Spreading awareness about Lake Tohopekaliga’s role as the

headwaters to the Florida Everglades. Visitors embraced the invitation to escape to nature, to enjoy the wonderous wetlands and abundance of wildlife. Today, at their current location at Southport Park in Kissimmee, FL, the fleet of 12 airboats has whisked countless nature enthusiasts from around the world safely into these breathtaking landscapes.

In 2016, they deepened their guest’s connection to nature through

extraordinary additions, such as a Native American Village, a 70 ft. gemstone mining slough, a gator pond, and the most recent addition, an enchanting butterfly garden, Lily’s Butterfly Garden & Loreli’s Critters.

The past 30 years wouldn’t have been possible without the support of their family, friends, dedicated employees and countless guests who supported this remarkable journey. Celebrate with them. Embrace the beauty of nature and create cherished memories that will last a lifetime.

offers wide range of care for Disney Guests

AdventHealth offers wide range of care options for Disney Guests. During the workweek, AdventHealth nurse Debbie Rosa takes care of patients in the emergency room. On the weekend, she enjoys caring for runDisney athletes at Walt Disney World Resort.

As a bike medical volunteer, Debbie rides along the runDisney course during various endurance events, treating anyone who might need help along the way. “I love to hear their stories, the challenges that they have dealt with,” Debbie says. “And being an ER nurse, this is sort of an ER in

the field.” AdventHealth team members like Debbie have been treating runDisney runners for the past 30 years. But that’s just one way AdventHealth cares for Disney Guests during their stay.

As the Official Health Care Provider of Walt Disney World Resort, AdventHealth offers a wide range of services to ensure Guests have everything they need to enjoy their vacation.

This includes prescription delivery to Walt Disney World resorts and assistance in arranging health care for a loved one with

a medical condition during the vacation planning process. And should an unlikely emergency arise, AdventHealth has an emergency room close by to offer 24/7 care with a unique patient experience. The AdventHealth ER at FLAMINGO

CROSSINGS Town Center, conveniently located near the western gateway to Walt Disney World Resort, includes Disney touches in peaceful and calming environment.

It’s a special experience for Debbie – as a nurse and as a Disney fan – to be part of the AdventHealth team caring for people at Walt Disney World Resort.

“As you walk in and see the lights of the Magic Kingdom Park [during an early morning race], it just sets a tone of the magic of Disney,” Debbie says. “And seeing Cinderella Castle transform from dark to light, it just does something.”
