What’s the best non-Disney part of your Disney visit? No, the airport doesn’t count.

For me, it’s definitely hitting up the Florida Mall and having a bite at Pollo Tropical, all while blasting XL106.7 and Johnny Magic all over town. What about you?

We always go the first 2 weeks of December. I don’t know if seeing the Christmas lights in Celebration is non-Disney but it’s our new annual tradition starting last year.

Technically Disney divested much of the town…

Going to Catholic Mass near Disney that is different than the style of the NY style Mass I'm used to. Also, I enjoy seeing local historical sites and professional sports in the area.

As Channel 955 randomly quipped early last year: “darn Michigan weather!”

Looks like you’re new here. Welcome in!

We like volunteering at Give Kids the World village, it’s such a special place.

Walking West on katella Sunday morning from motel 6 on the way to Walmart and walking by the housing community.. Buddhist temple...and a social club of some sort...and consuming massive calories at Carl's...we don't eat in the resort...so McDonald's for the next 3 lunches... Walmart provides breakfast and meal after napping

2011 riding Amtrak Coast starlight to Disneyland...a massive snow storm was coming from the south so a historic train station was covered Christmas card snow ... magic they I can never experience again

I haven't been to WDW since 2021, but last few trips, the best non-Disney element I thought of first was https://kobesteakhouse.com/. It's a local chain and I really enjoyed getting dinner there.
