Review HGVC at Sea World?

[JesNJakesMom]

We are staying at this resort for the first time this April. Because we have stayed at the International Drive Resort we know we'll love it. But we are wondering if there is a McDonalds, grocery shopping or a drug store close to it (like walking distance)? At the one on International Drive we could just go across the street to Publix or to the outlet center to shop. Anything like that around the Hilton Seaworld Resort?

I have not stayed there, but most of the restaurants/stores are by the intersection of International Drive & Central FL Parkway. There is a Fridays, Wendy's, KFC and Denny's close to this intersection. There is a CVS that is just starting to be constructed at this intersection as well. There is a strip plaza on International Drive close to the intersection - but I can not recall what was in the plaza. Also, if you proceed down a bit further to the next block on Central FL Parkway - there is a shopping center with a Publix and CVS and also a McDonald's in the parking lot in front of the shopping center. I would guess that the walk from HGVC to the intersection at International Drive and Central FL Parkway would be 5-10 minutes, and the next intersection down on Central FL Parkway would be another 5 minutes.

I agree, I just love the Tuscany..for all the reasons including the walking distance locations of what you mentioned. (Publix, CVS, mall.)

Have fun.

As far as Hilton Seaworld.....I can only imagine it will be great too.

We will be at HGVC Seaworld in early March, when I return I will post a review along with pics and locations of shopping, fast food, etc.Edit: the review is now posted here: http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2420981&highlight=hgvc

There is a drugstore a block away to the left. The nearest fast food, groceries, etc., are about a mile away, so in terms of walking convenience Tuscany is better.
