For those of us old enough to remember the Y2K scare, it’s hard to believe we’re already a quarter-century into the new millennium. Each year goes by in a blur, which is one reason why it’s always important to take a moment and reflect on the past 12 months as we head into January. Here at Orlando Family Magazine,  2024 was highlighted by our conversations with Oscar winners Cate Blanchett and Halle Berry, red-hot stars like Timothée Chalamet, Chris Hemsworth and Zendaya, and local notables such as Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. Our annual Year in review features interesting quotes from those interviews, along with a look back on our lists o Central Florida’s top doctors, dentists, attorneys and realtors and our comprehensive Best of the Best roundup. This past year was memorable in many ways, and 2025 promises to be unforgettable in its own right.
