Sports Bars? Taxi's? and CiCi's?

[WildGrits]

Can anyone tell me a good off property sports bar that is close to WDW and shows Sunday games? Please don't suggest ESPN :sad2:

Also has anyone gone to the CiCi's Pizza in Orlando? I know there are many. I was wondering if they are all the same quality.

And Lastly, how about Taxi prices? Can you give me some examples of times you have use a taxi recently and what the prices where?

Sports bars: Alehouse is just off-property along 535, shows all NFL games (they have a map showing which TVs are tuned to which teams throughout the bar). Good food, excellent prices.

Buffalo Wild Wings is across the street in Crossroads, believe they also carry every game. Not my favorite place--service is iffy and can be a bit overpriced, but it is another option. There is also a TGI Fridays in Crossroads which is a good choice to watch the "national" games.

Taxi prices are outrageous, but none of these should be that bad to get to and back from.

I second the motion on Orlando Ale House. Nice facility and great food too. It's on County Road 535 (Winter Garden - Vineland Road) at the intersection of Apopka - Vineland Road in Lake Buena Vista. There is also a Hooter's on Palm Parkway that has games on the TV's but OAH is better.

Only CiCi's I've been to is in Ocoee so can't comment about the one near Disney.

You can save money on taxi fares by taking a free resort bus to DTD and then hopping in a taxi there. Then you are less than 5 miles to Crossroads or CiCi's or Ale House.

I cannot comment on Cici's, but I am a bit of a pizza fanatic (or snob? :) ) and the best place I found near Disney was called Flippers (located in the Old Town complex in Kissimmee). It was really good quality and they followed my instructions perfectly (I'm a picky eater), even when they were getting slammed. Hope this helps.

The CiCi's on Palm Parkway (just off 535, near "Crossroads") is very popular with the cast member crowd. I usually end up there with my friends at least once a month.
