Can anyone tell me what restaurants are in the vicinity of Emerald Island? We've decided to only do a few TS meals in the parks/resorts. The rest will be either CS, eaten at our house, or at an offsite restaurant in the area. We are travelling with 4 adults and an almost 5 year old, so we wouldn't want anything too fancy or expensive...

Obviously, I don't need a comprehensive list of every restaurant. Just some idea of what's around. And of course, if anyone has any favorites, please suggest away!!

Thanks so much! :thumbsup2
 
There are numerous restaurants near Emerald Island on the 192 - the nearest are the Outback, TGI Fridays
 

At the Formosa Gardens Shopping Center (just before you hit the 192 and within 2 minutes drive of EI), you have Outback Steakhouse, TGI Friday's, Giordano's, Taste of China, Sushi Japanese Eatery, Dairy Queen, Subway and Taco Bell, along with a Red Lobster on the opposite side of the junction with Formosa Gardens Blvd and the 192. A block west are Carrabba's (Italian) and Cracker Barrell. Directly across the 192 you have Golden China, Magic Mining Restaurant, and KW Kools. Everything else you can imagine (at least in terms of chains/fast food) is not too far away.

Outback and Carrabba's (and maybe some of the others :confused3 ) do curbside takeout - phone from your villa and collect 15 minutes or so later. It all comes presented in really attractive packaging, so no need to transfer to plates.

Don't forget that you're also very close to Osceola Parkway at the point which it runs along the southernmost edge of WDW property. That means that AKL (Boma and Jiko) and the Gaylord Palms (Old Hickory Steakhouse, Sunset Sam's Fish Camp and Villa de Flora) are a short drive away.

Agency- http://www.kidsniteout.com/ 1-800-696-8105

Kids Club at the Dolphin if you are dining at The Dolphin or Swan
Kids Club at the Grand Floridian if you are dining there-
Nederland Club at the Polynesian.


-Petting Zoo-
This is a recommendation from one of our guests. “Our past 2 trips we went to Green Meadows Petting Farm. As far as petting zoos go, it’s probably the best I’ve ever been to. On our second trip, the twins were a bit too young (not quite 3). But our oldest loved it on our first trip; he was 4.” http://www.greenmeadowsfarm.com
 
I must say you will NOT FIND A LACK of restaurant options within minutes of
Emerald Island. I tell people there is everything you can possibly imagine within 5 minutes.

:woohoo:
