Arielle & Jordan
Places in Orlando
Walt Disney World® Resort
Of course we still have to recommend Disney! Animal Kingdom is Arielle's favorite spot. We highly recommend checking the resorts for fun events and dinner too!
Universal Studios Florida
If you're more into thrill rides, Universal is the theme park to go to! We love Disney more, but a good Butterbeer in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter or the smell in the forest of the E.T. ride hit differently.
Disney Springs
You can experience some of the Disney magic without paying for a ticket! There's tons of great shops (the Lego store is the best) and food. We'd recommend Chef Art Smith's Homecoming Kitchen or Morimoto for a meal and then Gideon's for dessert if the line isn’t insane. There's also plenty of entertainment, like Splitsville Bowling, Cirque de Soleil, and a hot air balloon ride.
Dare 2 Escape - Escape Room Games
If you like Escape Rooms, the Seventh Room is our favorite escape room to date!
Congo River Golf
There's multiple Congo River locations to try out. We've played the course in Altamonte Springs at least ten times now and still have a good time. Only downside is the gators...
Fantasia Mini Golf
You can pre-book a tee time at (407) WDW-PLAY. There's two golf courses: one is Fantasia themed and the other is modeled after a real golf course with bunkers and water hazards. Plus, the Tower of Terror is in the backdrop.
Dubsdread Golf Course
If you want a golf course in the area, Jordan recommends here.
Christner's Prime Steak & Lobster
If you want something on the nicer side, Christner's is a go-to spot for any of our special occasion dinners. Arielle loves the Ahi Tuna appetizer and Jordan loves the filet. The bleu cheese dressing is amazing and the desserts are out of this world. This is a family-owned Orlando staple!
Tabla Indian Restaurant Winter Park
This is our favorite Indian spot nearby. It's located on Park Ave, which has a ton of great local stores and restaurants.
The Glass Knife
If you want some yummy pastries or a cute spot for brunch, try the Glass Knife! The creme brûlée donut is our fav.
Luke's Kitchen and Bar
One of our go-to date spots. Trust us, get the White Linen and ice cream.
Agave Azul Winter Park
The food here is fresh, light, and delicious. Try the carnitas :)
East End Market
A cute, tiny market with some amazing food. Gideon's has the best cookies around, Domu's wings and ramen are delicious, Lineage brews some fantastic coffee, Dochi has unique donuts, and Winter Park Biscuit Company serves some great veggie friendly food. Everything in here is yummy!
Orlando Farmers' Market
Downtown Orlando has a ton to offer, but the Farmer's Market on Sunday is a great way to find delicious food vendors and goods! You can enjoy a nice stroll around Lake Eola and find a quiet spot for brunch.
