Every once in a while on our trips we split and stay on I drive for a few days usually for shopping and if we want to do Universal or Sea World. I Drive is really easy to get to and hooks up with EVERY major freeway. We like the following:
Bahama Breeze - this is the flagship restaurant for this chain. We now have one about 2-3 miles from our house, so you may, too. Think conch fritters and island cooking while listening to steel drum music.
One of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to is on I Drive and it is called MING COURT. It is HUGE, wonderfully decorated and the food is great! Lunch there is inexpensive with wonderfully sized portions.
Cafe Tu Tu Tango....this is a small chain. The menu is built on the grazing concept. Small portions for sharing. This has the added feature of having artists and artwork all over. Walking through this place is like going to a small art fair...plus...almost everything is for sale. I've only been there at night but they always have artists actually making art, fortune tellers and 'street' entertainment. I've seen poetry readings and hula dancers on the same night.
These are just a few of the ones we've been to....if you haven't been to the outlets on I Drive...you might want to leave a little early and run to Belz before lunch. There are two Disney Outlet stores there with great deals. Caution: leave room in your suitcase or you'll be carrying the bags home!!
