This beautiful location in Central Florida is located just a couple of miles away from Disney World's Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista.

The area came to life every year with the sound of live music and Zen vibes in Zen Awakening, captured in the film Zen World. You can visit this location on Reams Road (a little known back way to Magic Kingdom and cast parking) and discover it's allure. The actual spot is private, but Reams Road, Lake Buena Vista, Florida will still give you a sense of the area.

The Great Oaks Mansion was the very last Antebellum home built in America-the last of it's kind from the "Gone With The Wind" era.
Inside are grand staircases, massive fireplaces, giant picture windows and outside the grand columns from a by-gone era. The home sustained major Hurricane Michael damage (Cat 5) and we captured both before and after in our Film Spirits in the Storm.
