Where do you go for your first Orlando meal?

[Staarbux]

Normally we go to Cracker Barrel and thats when it really feels like we're there. :) But I'm pretty sure this year we're going to Olive Garden - my mum's been looking forward to seafood alfredo since last year! :pgig:

[Rebelrebel]

On the night we arrive we go to DTD and visit the Wolfgang Express to get pizza :)

[simker]

We normally grab a Burger King on the way to the villa.

First meal in a restaurant was a ponderosa breakfast last time. Next time we will do the Golden Corral breakfast :wavey:

[RuddClan]

On our first day here we got everything sorted at the vilaa then went over to Walmart. Our first meal was a Burger King Drive Thru' :D

[danny]

always go for a walk roun dDTD to stretch the old legs after the long flight ,and end up having mcdonalds looking over the lake ,kinda a tradition now lol

[juli]

On the night we arrive we usually go to Perkins for an all day breakfast :tounge: :tounge:
Then it's off grocery shopping before collapsing into bed :zzz: :zzz:

[Tinkerbelluk]

For us it's TGI's on the 192 before heading back to the villa for bed :zzz:

[Dawn]

[emmaG]

In the past we have stayed at the wyndham on international drive and the first night we have eaten in there gatorville poolside bar, but this year we went to friendlys.

[tracymiami]

[alisonjones]

When we arrive we go to our accommodation first - dh and our 2 ds's drop me off with the cases (so I can unpack) then they go off to publix or walmart to get the basic essentials (wish they were that keen on going shopping at home)
Then we nip out to checkers and get a mmmmm burger:tounge:

[missbounce]

Always end up at Planet Hollywood - Florida and Paris - for first night.

[peter+lynne]

our first meal every first night since 2000 has been at the ming court.

ooohhhhh where is that sounds good:tounge:

[sparklepants]

Olive Garden, cant wait mmm!

[rusty30]

Normally we either grab a drive thru en route to the hotel / villa, or stock up on Publix chicken tenders, New York style potato salad and a Key Lime Pie when we do the grocery shop on arrival.

Our first "proper meal" is usually a Sizzler buffet breakfast (although last year, as we were at AKL, it was a Boma breakfast!).

[Iloveflorida]

As its normally about 9ish by the time we arrive at our villa we normally drop of our cases then head out the Walmart to pick up essentials, water etc then over to McDonald's for a real american fast food burger. They are soooooo much better than ours at home.

[tinkerella]

:grin: last time we went to chuckey cheese and let the kids burn off some energy after the flight then just chilled by the pool :grin:

[Sue]

Staying in a WDW resort - to Epcot and burger or something counter service, usually not that hungry first night, too tired.
If outside of the Disney resorts, Jungle Jim's at LBV for a burger!

[00swan]

This year (our first time) was TGI Fridays since it was pretty much the closest to the hotel.

Next year we'll be arriving on DBF's 35th birthday - he wants to go to Race Rock.

First meal was the best of the holiday, since it really made us realise that we had arrived.

[fintywalker]

first meal out was at IHOP and we love it

[easygoingeezer]

Used to be Daryls but now its gone.......so this year its,

CAFE TUTU TANGO, its amazing.

Florida Bear and myself were wondering if your flight times were earlier, is that why you guys go for something to eat on your first evening?

[Rebelrebel]

Our flight gets into MCO at 2.30pm

[thecheshirecat]

The restaurant wherever we're staying, usually Kona Cafe or Citrico's.

[Bubsi]

on the night of arrival we just get room service...travelling knocks me out, the next night we like Uno at the cross roads or the olive garden.

[Treacle44]

On our first night we usually just grab something from the hotel (had a lovely 14" pizza at Pop) and then book a Disney breakfast for the 1st morning. Did Boma this year which was lovely!

[annh50]

we go for a walk on the first night and go where ever takes our fancy while we are out

[TravelBunny]

Our first meal was non-existant as we arrived at the hotel too late and were too tired :( . The following evening we ate at Bahama Breeze - delicious :tounge:

[yatomi]

I'd love to say golden corral, but it ends up something like mcdonalds or just something we pick up on the way to the villa like ice cream :D, Golden corral is the one i look forward to most tho :)

[uklad23]

I-Hop its the kinda placee you can go and relax no matter how rough you feel or look after a long flight. It always feels homely and the staff are great as is the food.

[starstruck]

Always Pizzeria Uno but we arrive later this year with TCD from Manchester to we will have to see what time we get to the hotel and how we feel.:cry:

[Orlando1]

Usually Sizzler, cant wait for the buffets, eyes much bigger than the belly....
:tounge: :d:

[swv]

Its not really oou first meal when we get there , but the one that counts for me is Ponderosa breakfast the first morning thats when i know im on holiday.

28 days to go, cant wait

[Friday'sChild]

Once we've thrown our gear in the room, we head straight down to Race Rock for one of their fantastic burgers..... its kind of a family tradition :blush:

[Twinkle-Dolphin]
