Lake Buena Vista Area
Hey, we're booked into the Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista (formerly the Clarion) and have been looking for what's near by food and entertainment wise but have seen a lot of people mention a few places near by sadly didn't survive the pandemic and have now closed. Has anyone been in this area recently and can advise what's near by and still open? Are we going to have choices for food in the evening and be able to find things to do? I've found mixed results on whether the mini golf behind the hotel is still open?
Thanks!

Ths is what happening at Crossroads at the moment - it isn't due to the pandemic but it did delay progress. |

Rose I'd say your problem & the same as most others is apart from a very small handful no-one has been near LBV since Mar/Apr last year! So all of the Crossroads "should" be gone so basically from your hotel:
Kobe Latin place in same area Another latin place across from Olive Garden Black Angus Dennys Ihop 2 Chinese/Orientals in the small strip mall near Ihop Millers Steak & Shake Il Cantina (mexican) Not sure if anything has replaced Mannys If you are willing to walk further there are more offerings the otherside of I4, which you will be able to see from your hotel but unfortunately to have to go up Palm Parkway & turn left!

No help with what is still there at the moment but we've stayed there when it was the Clarion, ask for a room that doesn't face the I4 - much quieter!

Everything at the crossroads has closed, there WAS plenty places around the hotel within walking distance but that was late 2019 when I was last in that area no doubt more will have closed because of the effects of the panademic but I’m sure there will be enough places left and Disney springs is only a short uber ride away and has plenty places

I drove past today and managed to take a couple of photos this one is taken leaving Disney Springs from Hotel Plaza Blvd to get to I4 (normally would drive starightover to get to Crossroads but all closed off)
Didn't have a chance to go left and see what was available up that way |

I have been googling the accommodation I have booked (Grande Villas LBV) and going onto Google maps. From there you can see which restaurants are still open as they have a pin. Some will say closed or temporary closed depending on there opening hours and when your looking.
We have decided that it's still the best location for us as our daughter has an obsession with IHOP and Steak n Shake. I really fancy a Giordano's pizza and a Millers all of these are walking distance.

We are currently looking at options at Dr Philips but that's not walking distance but even with a return fare Uber it will be cheaper than most Disney options!

I like Seasons 52 on 7700 W Sand Lake Road - not the cheapest but nice fresh food. They are owned by Darden restaurants who also own Longhorn, Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze.
I also like Del Frisco's on I Drive for a special trip out. Edited at 01:40 PM. |
