Some of my favorite moments while on a Disney vacation actually happen off of Disney property. Since we're never in Florida except to go to Disney, we kind of associate the whole surrounding area with WDW. I'd like to hear about some of your favorite stuff to do around the area while at Disney - places to eat, shop, things to do, etc. I'll start with some of mine!
- Miller's Ale House (restaurant): Very close by and conveniently located next to a lot of other cool and useful places, this is my family's favorite place to eat in Orlando. When you want big portions for very un-Disney-like prices ;-) this is the place to go. Our favorite is "The Big Red" buffalo chicken sandwich. Plus, it's also down the road from a Walgreens so if you go here, that'd be a great time to stop by for a store run on the way back and save yourself from Disney-priced sun block, bottled water, etc. 2371 Winter Garden Vineland Rd., Orlando, FL 32836
- Old Town (Outdoor shopping/entertainment area): It's not easy to define just what it is, but Old Town makes for a great night out for adults or families. With a mix of bars, restaurants, unique shops (my kids especially like the "rock" shop that specializes in stones like quartz, etc.), a tattoo parlor, and a small amusement park. If you're a thrill-seeker, you might try out the famous Sling-Shot ride. 5770 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy, Kissimmee, FL 34746
- Sweet Tomatoes: This buffet-style eatery is what you need for that day you need something on the lighter side. With endless possibilities to make your own salad, plus plenty of other, less-light options like pizza, pasts etc. as well, not to mention a dessert bar - there's something for everyone here, and it's a lot of fun with kids who love DIY plate-making. 12561 S Apopka Vineland Rd, Orlando, FL 32836 - Crossroads
So, what are some of your favorite off-property places?
