Briargrove

[DisneyDreamer]

Hi, any info on the Briargrove area much appreciated, we have a villa booked there next year and its not an area that I have heard much about.

Hello,
Our villa is just up the road from Briargrove on the CR54 (Ronald Regan Parkway), you will be 10 mins from Disney, 10 mins from highway 192, 5 mins from US27 and 3 mins from I4, we love it down there, far from the madding crowd but still close enough to everything.There is even a gas station close by that sells beer ,take away food,news papers and all sorts. Not forgetting Champions Gate shopping plaza with a Publix and Walgreens.Italian, Chinese, and French Restaurants which will all deliver to your villa only 5 mins away.
Have a great time.

Briargrove is directly opposite us at Windwood Bay and it is a well established community, mainly residential. Lots of great facilities in the area as Errol says it is a great location on the CR54. A couple of miles further down is the real Florida away from the tourist trail.

That will be a fantastic time as all the houses will be decorated and they go way over the top! One of the houses still has lights on it now![xmas2]

We're staying in Briargrove this year, we stayed in Sunridge Woods last year which is right next to it and liked the location.

Champions Gate is very convenient and has Publix, Video/DVD rental, McDonalds, hair/nail salon, pizzeria, Walgreens and some other shops which escape me now.
As people have said it is easy to get anywhere either up the I4 or, my preferred route, up the CR545 (I think, you turn at the previously mentioned garage which was/is a Chevron) which links to the 192 West.

We drove in to look at one of the houses in Briargrove last December to see a wonderfully decorated house. Everything, and I mean everything, was adorned with lights.

oh don't I am getting excited now and my countdown clock is showing 1 years, 8 months, 5 days, 6 hours, 44 minutes, 27 seconds....we only got back from our last trip a few weeks ago so I shouldn't really complain [msnembarrased]

CDV & Brizzle, we have been on the lead up to Xmas before but not done Xmas day and New Years there so I am really looking forward to seeing all the houses in their full Xmas glory!

Is it is the CR54 (or Ronald Reagan Parkway) or another route.



AH! Cowboy has just enlightened me

CDV, I think Brizzle was referring to the route preferred was along the 545 which is Old Lake Wilson Road to the 192 rather than use the I4 route to the 192.
We prefer this route because it is much quicker and also have a nosey at the current situation at Reunion.

That's the one, up the 545 past the RV parks, straight over the 532 (I think), you also pass Windsor Palms and World of Orchids before you get to the 192.

After the first couple of days we used this route almost exclusively because of road works near the Champions Gate exit.
