Olive Garden near WDW

[Luvdisney]

My family loves the Olive Garden. Can someone tell me if there is one within a short drive from WDW?

There is one right outside the Downtown Disney entrance on Rt 535. Where are you staying? There are several in Disney distance and if you tell me what area you are in, I can direct you to the closest.

Great Thanks! We are staying at the WDW Dolphin 8/11 to 8/18 and then move to the WL 8/18 to 8/22, then move to the AKL for 2 nights

These aren't the BEST directions, but here goes. From Downtown Disney, once you hit 535, turn left. It's not more than a couple miles up the road not too far past Pizzeria Uno. Have a great trip!!

And be sure to call ahead for seating if they allow you to there. The wait can extend to an hour or more.

Treesinger, if you don't mind, i'll take the great directions you gave and make them a little clearer - thanks. From Downtown Disney, follow Hotel Plaza Boulevard through to the end - stay in the far left lane. You will then see the Crossroads Shopping entrance - turn left before you cross over into the shopping area; stay in the right lane and before the first stop light the Olive Garden will be on your right( the corner of Palm Parkway and 535). Our timeshare is right there and we see the Olive Garden every time we return. There are many restaurants in that very area whether you turn left or right.

Luvdisney- My family always visits this Olive Garden while at WDW and we found it to be very clean and food always good. It was always one of the highlights of our trip.

If you want to venture just a tiny bit further than the Olive Garden on Palm Parkway, jump on I-4 to the International Drive exit. Take a right on I-Drive and follow the road until you come to Olive Garden (on your right) which is JUST before Race Rocks.

This is the newest and largest in the Orlando area. It is an exact replica of the Tuscan shop.

I'm not a huge Olive Garden fan, but did have a lovely dinner in the new restaurant!

It's worth the little ride!

No, there isn't one within a short drive, there's several!!!!!!

One of our favorite restaurants- I come from an Italian family and this is one of the few Italian restaurants I enjoy- and we always make certain we go there whenever we visit WDW. The one on 535 is probably your closest, and lovingthemouse's directions were superb!

Enjoy!
