We'll be staying in a nice, big house located in Formosa Gardens next year. This will be a new experience for us!

Can anyone tell me what's nearby? Is there a Target? A food store (hopefully an Albertson's)?

If you've ever rented in Formosa, could you please tell me your experience?

Thanks!
 
We have only visited friends staying in FG Estates. Nice area with some fabulous homes. There's a new Super Target about 1-2 miles to the west on 192, also a Publix grocery store across from it at Orange Lake Plaza. Very close to the Animal Kingdom side of Disney, about 5 or 6 minutes to the parking lot via Sherberth Rd. Lots of restaurants from 1 - 3 minutes away: Red Lobster, Outback Steakhouse, Crackerbarrel, TGIFridays, Golden Corral, Olive Garden, IHOP, Perkins etc. etc.
Here's a map of the area: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=U...d=110562778588256174172.000453baef0290954cc04

Click on #9 for FGEstates and zoom in to see the area. Line 2 and then 1 or Line 3 and then 1 will take you to Disney via Sherberth.
 
We stayed in Formosa gardens a few years ago. It is close to loads of shopping on 192. Also there is a strip mall with a supermarket and various resteraunts just up the street from the development.

Formosa Gardens has no coummunity facilities which is something we missed. That is the reason we decided on WH for our trip next week.
