yes there was last aug walk around 35 min

hess from DTD if you stand with your back to planet holywood its around 500 yards away,you wll pass bus stops for the resorts 250 yards then head for main roa,wait for lights to change an cross over 250 yards.

Crossroads from DTD buses to your back you have to cross the main road then head up inbetewn the good neibour hotels.
If you turn left at the crossroads and next block you will come to orlando alehouse a great place to eat if staying at SSR and no car.plenty of outher options on road we also like olive garden.we would walk there as we like a walk in evening then taxi back
For the outback we would get a taxi to primium outlets do some shopping the head over to outback 9its to the rear of primium outlets,when had meal head for publix stock up on suplys and taxi back

i'm having trouble thinking of where these are and aren't having any luck seeing them on google maps, can someone plot them on a map so i can see where they are!!
sorry to be a pain but i can see the bus stops in my head but just cant find them on the map!!

Edited to add: i've managed to find the crossroads, but i cant figure out where the gas station is...

Goodings at Crossroads is probably the best, it’s a small supermarket and even sells UK newspapers. Crossroads also has a good selection of restaurants including TGI Fridays.

I would guess that it is 10 minutes walk from the edge of Down Town Disney. Have Down Town Disney on your left, walk up Hotel Plaza Boulevard to the end, cross over the 435 and you are at Crossroads.

its one of those places that you would pass a million times and not realise its there,if its just to stock up beers and sodas ect hess ideal.theres a big grenn clock outside on the forecourt.as the bus puls out from PI it will sit a ligtgs before turnning right and accros the road its there,will kick yourself when you see it
