If you travel to Disney World and are looking to buy Disney merchandise, go to the outlet store at the Orlando Premium Outlets first. They are usually open late and you can find the same Disney-type products as you can at the parks for a fraction of the price. For example, all types of attire: hats, shirts, shorts, tops, sweatshirts, jackets; toys, stuffed animals, trading pins, etc, etc, etc. We normally hit the parks several days during our vacation so we try and hit the outlet mall before we spend all of our money on souvenirs at the parks.

Rainforest Cafe has several locations throughout the United States however th only locations we've visited are in Central, Florida. There are two in the Orlando area. We have visited both. If you are at the Animal Kingdom theme park, plan on a long wait to visit that location and if you visit Downtown Disney, plan on a long wait as well. If you go early, you can usually get right in or try calling ahead a reservation. The environment is really great for little kids but food is vastly overrated and overpriced. As an overall experience, I would recommend it at least once, but you are paying for the atmosphere - not the food. Also, if you want loud, singing clapping staff coming up to your table, order the VOLLLLLLCAAAAAANO!

On our last trip to the Orlando area, we had a very early flight leaving Orlando International so we opted to choose a hotel nearby which we booked online. The particular hotel we chose was Holiday Inn Select. We arrived late at night to check in - the staff were very friendly and helpful and got us to our room ASAP. We pretty much went straight to our room but I think this hotel might be used for business travelers or conventions as there were a lot of suits at the open bar and in the lobby. I know there was a pool and hot tub area as well as a weight room while carrying in all of our luggage, my wife wouldn't help. The rooms were clean with ample toiletries. Another added bonus: fast food restaurants nearby. I would stay here again.

After a long anticipated wait, the Hy-Vee nearest to our house has finally opened. The other Hy-Vee is probably 6-7 miles away so we never shop there unless they have coupon deals. Since it's brand new, this Hy-Vee seems state of the art. It's awesome - everything is totally wide open and has lots of sky lights. I've always thought their meat department was awesome because they showcase everything and have a wide variety even though it may be a little pricey. Whether in this town or any other town, check out the Hy-Vee meat department. One more thing, their cafeteria area has awesome Italian food, Chinese food, and on weekends, sometimes they run specials on fresh cooked breakfast.

My wife has a soft spot for chevys mexican restaurant. we used to have one in our home city, however they closed their olathe, kansas location. So now, on our annual trip to Orlando, my wife insists we go to Chevys at least 2 or 3 times so she can get her Chevys fix. They have awesome mexican food, great salsa, and a nice atmosphere. If you dine in, the staff is friendly and they have a Contemporary cool decor.

Celebrity's is a celebrity themed restaurant. It has hand drawn artwork of many celebritys as well as memoribilia such as autographs, pictures, old school movie posters, etc... They have made to order sandwiches including our favorite A1 philly cheesesteak, friendly service, and good prices. The funny thing is that when you order, each ticket generates a Celebrity's name. In the past, I've been Tom Cruise, Michael Jordan, Tom Sizemore, Jerry Sienfeld... you are subject to be any Celebrity.

My wife and I love philly cheesesteak sandwiches. We had never tried this particular restaurant. My wife found a coupon for Buy 1, Get 1 Free so we thought we would check it out. I've never been to Philly but I think these are close to being authentic. They prepared it right in front of me and the sandwiches were PACKED with meat. They also had really good fries which they prepared on order.

Once a year, I take my family on a trek to Disney World in Orlando Florida. Aside from all of the Disney Magic, there is one thing we always have to do and that is make a trip to Giordano's Pizza. We have good pizza in Kansas but nothing like this!! I'm told this is Old World pizza (or Chicago style deep dish), whatever you want to call it, this stuff is good. They have one on each side of Disney World - one in Kissimmee, one in Orlando. It may seem a little pricey but it's worth it. You can usually find a coupon in any tourist-type coupon publication book. The restaurant looks like it would be a cool place to eat. You can even watch the guys tossing the crust, flipping it in the air. However, after the parks, we usually just get carry-out and take it to our hotel. They have cool shirts although I've yet to buy one.
