This will be our first trip staying at the Fort and we are thinking that since we will have our truck with us we might go off site to eat. Any suggestions as to good places to eat nearby?
Joe's Crab Shack and Tropical Breeze aren't too far.
We like to go into Celebration to eat lunch at the Market Street Cafe too. If you've never been, it's a very Disney-like/Polyanna-like town ... designed, of course, by Disney!
Another vote for Market Street Cafe! It is right in Celebration so we love to walk around town after we eat. I highly recommend the baked potato omlette for breakfast and I love their milkshakes for lunch!
We have a tradition of going to CiCi's Pizza when we arrive, my DH and kiddos love it there, and nothing sets the mood like the wonderful staff saying, "Welcome to CiCi's" when we walk thru the door.lol. It just is our way of knowing we have officially arrived in Orlando and besides that it's cheap for a dinner out!!!
A few years back Miller's actually opened up two Ale Houses in the Philly area. I definately never expected to see one of those in my neck of the woods, and especially only a few miles away! The Ale House near me is still doing great and I love the food. But, it's just as unique now hitting an ALe House in FL.
