Food Scene

Not only are there many, many food choices here, but there is fabulous shopping and entertainment. There are bands all around the area of different genres--something for everyone. We suggest you make a reservation way ahead of time because the wait times can be incredibly long.

Parks & Nature

Right off a busy main road (192) is this idyllic park where you can rent kayaks or take a boat tour. The current is strong so I suggest you paddle upstream first and then you'll only have steer on the way down. Shingle Creek is quite long and if you're an experienced kayaker you can go all the way to Lake Toho to the south (with the current and have to paddle upstream on the way back) or up near Disney to the north (against the current and have minimal paddling on the way back).

Entertainment & Activities

Disney has added many attractions to this park in the past year revolving around the Avatar movie. The lines can be incredibly long for the Banshee and Na'vi River attractions--over two hours, so I suggest you use your FastPass as early as you can book it. There is also a River of Light in the evening that is amazing.

There are attractions for children. However, this park has been called an amusement park for adults. There are many, many restaurants that have sophisticated menus and that serve alcohol and there are many concerts throughout the year that cater to adults. I'm a former cast member and I can attest the it has a wonder Food & Wine Festival now from late summer through the fall. Christmas is magical! There are so many more cultural experiences during that time--see it if you can. The pyrotechnic and fireworks show at the end of each day is not to be missed!
