Is that the one at Winter Garden Village as soon as you turn in off Daniels Road? We always visit B&BW at WGV so sounds like we should broaden our Target experience.

Yes it is. It is less touristy than Rolling Oaks as well.

On one of our regular jaunts to find new places to visit, we drove to Lake Apopka in April. On the way home we drove through downtown Winter Garden. We didn't stop but decided that it looked a nice place to spend a couple of hours next time.

Looked very similar to Winter Park.

No that's Winter Park. There's also a nice lake and canal tour at Mount Dora.

WARNING !
If you drive to Target, make sure you know for certain where you park. Don’t do as I did once and think you’ll just recognise the landmarks (trees, trolley areas).

I went in, spent a couple of hours browsing and buying. Left the store and spent 30+ minutes looking for the car. An American couple pulled up next to me and obviously knew what had happened, told me to jump in and they drove round until I found my car ! What I’d done is gone in at one door and come out of another - must be a few hundred yards apart !

When I arrive anywhere I’m so eager to get going that I don’t pay much attention to where I’ve parked. Well, I do now !😱😂🙄

Thanks Mick much appreciated. I must get away from the parks more.

On our first trip to Florida in 1990 we only spent one week in Kissimmee at Fantasy World then a week at Indian Shores. Whilst at IS we drove to a mall and parked up outside Macy's. Came out a couple of hours later convinced that our car had been nicked.

We did exactly the same as you. Now whenever we go to any mall we say "We came in through Macy's lady's wear"

It's even worse at the M@M of course as you can leave Macy's at a different floor level into a car park

Haven't done a park since 2010 but visited plenty before that. We aren't typical Dibbers now.
