has anyone stayed here? we have just booked a villa for next may for three weeks. i tried to find a website for legacy park but can't find one!?!
also does anyone know of any websites with a map or list of shops on HW27?
Hi, we will be at Legacy Park for the first 2 weeks of May. I don't think there is a website but there are a lot of photo's on the various owners websites. As for shops, this might be a usefull link to shops and restaurants on 192. [website link edited]
I haven't seen a map of shops on 27 but there is a Publix supermarket and some small shops/restaurants in the Berry Town Centre, this is about 2-3 miles from Legacy.

Hi Annette,
Both our homes are on Legacy Park, one in Highgate Park and one at The Retreat.
Legacy Park is split into several villages. It is a lovely peaceful area in a good location to Disney and ather theme parks.
Disney's Animal Kingdom is the nearest park and takes about 10-15 minutes driving "the back way"
There is a Publix supermarket about half a mile south on the US27 from Legacy Park at Berry Town Center. You will also find Applebees restaurant here as well as a chinese, Indian and Japenese takeaway and a fish and chip shop.
One mile north on the 27 is Walmart and a Loews store. There is also a Chilis restaurant just opened here.
The 192 begins 1 mile away and there are several restaurants bars and shops along it.
We love visiting our villas on Legacy, I'm sure you will be delighted with the location.

thanks for that info! sounds like a great area!
glad there's an indian nearby as well!!!
we have sat nav so we shall probably be using the "back road" lots!
Hi Linda, can you give me some directions to get to Animal Kingdom ? Any routeplanner will suggest the 192 etc so I am just curious which way you recommend. thanks ! Peter

Hi Peter, here is a link to the short cuts. http://www.uscarhire.co.uk/florida-trips/short-cuts-to-disney-from-us27.aspx
We supplied this info and use all of the routes depending on our destination.
Thanks very much Linda. I actually booked a car through this site but hadn't seen this info before.

Hi Annette - sorry it's taken me so long to reply. Our villa is in The Estates at Legacy Park and as Linda has said there is everything (Publix, bank etc) within easy driving distance (5mins). Depending on the time of day we leave the villa we find it as easy to go back to Champions Gate and join the I$ to get up to Universal and Sea World. It may be worth taking a look at.
Legacy Park is a quite area which is wonderful to get away from the hustle - so i'm sure you'll have a wonderful time.
Regards
Elaine
