:rolleyes:

Anybody out there who can help?? Going in a week. Interested in buying some food and a cooler after arriving at the airport. Staying at the Hard Rock. Wher is the closest place to do this? How can I find directions. I am not at all familiar with the area. We will have a rental car and just want to make a stop before we hit the resort!!!

Thanks in advance for your help!!:sunny:

I can't give you the directions to publix but if you post this at the DVC Forum, I've seen directions for both stores posted there.

Hello gottgotowdw- There is a Super Walmart off of Sandlake Road. It's just a few minutes from the entrance to Universal. I only know of the directions from Turkey Lake road, but I think that Universal Blvd. is a quicker way to Sandlake Rd. It's about 3 miles south of the Sandlake Rd. exit at I4. Hope this helps.

Hello gottgotowdw- Never even noticed your locale till you mentioned it. On our next trip in Jan. 03 we want to stay at the Hard Rock, for a little change of scenery. Please post your views of the hotel when you get back. As for the Walmart. When you exit Universal, you pass a couple of blocks until you reach TurkeyLake Rd. Make a left go to SandLake Rd. and make a left go about 3 miles and Walmart is on your right. Just thought I pass along some info. There is a Hess gas station just passed Universal on TurkeyLake Rd. that sells cigarettes for 25.00 per carton. Name brand too. Sure beats Long Island prices.
Enjoy your vacation.

Gott,

Acutally there is an easier Wal-Mart to get to...just up Kirkman Road from Universal. If you are coming out of Universal, take a left on Kirkman...take Kirkman north about 2 miles and the Wal-Mart will be on the left (just after the big MetroWest turn intersection). This Wal-Mart if new...just opened a few months ago.

Publix is on Sand Lake Road at Dr Phillips Blvd. It's in a new shopping plaza with lots of restaurants, a Walgreens and a few banks.

Directions: Go south on Turkey Lake Rd. Turm right and Sand Lake Rd and Publix is on your leftabout 1 block away.
