    Well we had absolutely the worst meal we have ever had in Florida at the one on the 192 along from Indian Ridge (where we were staying at the time).

    We have never been back or tried another one. Dennys breakfasts - excellent, and Perkins toasties - wonderful. Now I am not meant to eat bread (only rye) it is a treat I now have to forgo.

    The Pondarossa we like was the one by Wal mart on the 192, we did try 3 but for a chain
    they seemed so different, the worse one we found was on the 535, it seem very dirty inside.

    But one thing we like to do is try different places all the time.

    Were meaties I spose, but one thing I do love is a huge salad

    i always get tons of mints, maybe there are telling us something! i still have some in my handbag from our visit in april/may this year. We also got loads of wet wipes that we used to take to the parks as the kids somehow seem to attract dirt!

    are waiter's name was Carlo, and we got him most days, he somehow knew what we wanted and always brought it over before we had to ask, maybe we were spending too much time in there!

    we also had a lovely lady called Jean she formally came from the UK but settled in Florida, lucky lady, but she has been there years. shame she has to work but i think by what she was saying that she liked meeting all the British families, and she said that it reminded her of home!

    maybe i should ask her if we could swap shoes and she could come back here and we could take her place!

    can't wait until 28th november when i'll be back there with 3 kids and no husband for 6 days until he comes out. i don't know whos got the short straw! he goes after 10 days leaving me and the kids until christmas day when my sister her kids and my hubby returns but then we all fly home on the 8th january. i think i got the best flight though they are going on Delta via Gateway and me and the kids are going direct on BA. ohhhhhh so excited!!!!!!!!

    Once the queue was long at Ponderosa so we went along to Black Angus - nobody there and we thought the breakfast better than Ponderosa. Just a thought

    When we are looking for a HUGE breakfast in Florida we always go to IHOP. The one on the 192 by Thacker Ave east of the big Wal-Mart is the best one.

    Portions are HUGE, prices very good - their slogan is "Arrive hungry, leave happy" and they certainly deliver on this every time

    Well John - thats OK if you can eat HUGE portions! I am a small eater but even found the seniors meals HUGE too! I just gave up in the end and had to leave half my meal. At least with a buffet you can just help yourself to whatever you want and with kids it must be a godsend for them to choose their own meals.

    On another topic we absolutely loved The Cheesecake Factory and I think that was one of your recommendations. I took several printouts from these forums with me and they were enormously helpful

    We tend to ask for extra plates and share the meals between us. Also it's great for filling up on food prior to going to the parks as you don't have to eat much for the rest of the day .

    The Cheesecake Factory is my absolute favourite - great food, great atmosphere - just perfect. Nice to get US cooking which really does taste of something too . Glad you enjoyed it!

    Hi,
    Keep hearing about the Cheesecake Factory. Could you tell us where it is, as we would like to try it on our next visit.

    Hi there.
    The Cheesecake Factory is at the Mall of Millenia.
    They serve nice meals in addition to cheesecakes, but it's unlikely you'd finish both! You might have to take advantage of a doggy bag.
    There's loads of different types of cheesecake, but the majority are VERY rich - make sure you go when you're hungry.
    They also do take away (to go!)

    Is there only one Cheesecake factory in Orlando? And if it is the Millenia Mall one how far is it from Lake Buena Vista?
    Went to one in Vegas last year it was orgasmic!!!!!!!!!
