Davenport

[nape dog]

Hi all
Stuck at work and have limited time to research, so hoping the kind Dibbers can help here.

Flying tomorrow and have only just received the allocation on arrival villa details from BA. Seems we are in Davenport, and having only ever stayed on International Drive (barring 1 villa stay in Lindfields off 192 in 2012), we're totally unaware of what is in the area.

We're used to using the Target / Walmart and other restaurants on the 192, as well as some restaurants in the Int Drive area.

So am hoping that the Davenport area will have a decent selection of restaurants and supermarkets etc close by? or will we be better off heading to the 192?

Thanks all

Do you have the actual address? Davenport is very vague. Some of it is very close to the 192/27 junction.

Hi
Yes it’s
Golf Course Parkway, Ridgewood Lakes

As Donna says "Davenport" is a generic name for the area roughly along the 27 between the 192 and Posner and spreading across to Champions Gate. Actually not very near to the city of Davenport which is over on the 17.

Sorry I've just seen your other post and it's a bit south of where we stay.

Ridge wood lakes is just up from us
At Jct 55 where you leave the I4 you have Posner Park where you will find Target
It’s not got a huge grocery section
St Charles Plazza heading South towards Ridge Wood Lakes you have Publix and heading South past it you have Walmart Winn Dixie at Sputhern Dunes Boulevard across from there Dollar General Market and slightly further South Aldi
Happy to help if you need anything else answered

There's a Bob Evans on the 27 opposite Posner which is a decent family restaurant chain for breakfast and dinner. A bit further south on the other side of the 27 is Ovations Bistro which is good.

If you're prepared to travel 15 miles nearer to my area of knowledge theirs lots of restaurants on the 192 which I'm happy to post if you like (I have it saved in Word )

Excellent new Publix at 27/Bella Citta which is about 7 miles north of you.

ah thanks for this, sounds like we'll be able to get supplies easily enough in the local area and head to the 192 for the super target etc.
We usually visit Cracker Barrell at some point, and like Perkins in Int Drive.
Had hoped to get to Aldi for general food supplies.
Bit daunting going to a new area, we always stick to what we know, but looking forward to trying something new.
Happy to accept all information and tips that people are willign to throw my way

See more...

If you know the Target (not Super anymore ) at Rolling Oaks you'll know the restaurants that I was going to suggest.

There's a Cracker Barrel on the 27 just north of Posner at Dunson
