Disney Delight

A November 2005 trip to Orlando by M80D82

We visited Florida's Disney World and stayed at The Hilton Grand Vacation Club on International Drive. We couldn't have asked for a nicer place to stay. We even cancelled some of our sight-seeing activities to just sit around the pool and enjoy the beauty of the resort.

Hilton Grand Vacations Club on International DriveBest of IgoUgo

Hotel | "Hilton Grand Vacations Club on International Dr."

Best Things Nearby:
Disney World (Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, and MGM), Universal Studios, Kennedy Space Center. Two outstanding restaurants we ate at were Texas de Brazil and the Lobster Feast, both on International Drive. Texas de Brazil was expensive, but had a buffet with a great selection of differently prepared vegetables, then the waiters brought skewers of many different kinds of meat around to the table and would cut off what you wanted. The Lobster Feast was a huge buffet of any kind of imaginable seafood-- including lobster and crab legs. I thought I had died and gone to heaven!

Best Things About the Resort:
Cleanliness, Impeccable furnishings, High Speed Wireless Internet in every unit, on-site deli providing many food selections, nice selection of activities for both kids and adults.

Resort Experience:
This resort was one word--luxurious. It was impeccably clean. The staff was very attentive and helpful. They had great activities each day, some for kids, and others for adults. The pool area was to die for. We even cancelled some of our sight-seeing plans just to stay at the resort and soak up the beauty of it all. They provided high speed wireless Internet access in every unit, which was a big plus for us. My husband usually has to do some business while on vacation, and having this at his fingertips in the condo made it much easier for him. They had a wonderful deli shop on site, providing breakfast rolls and coffee, and delicious soups and sandwiches for lunch and supper. The bar also served food while you ate around the pool. There was a Publix Grocery Store across the street and an Outlet Mall within walking distance of the resort. We will definitely consider this resort again when visiting this area.

This is a seafood buffet with every imaginable kind of fish, including whole lobsters and crab legs. The waiters were very attentive, and immediately removed used plates and bowls from the table. They even helped us crack our first lobster!

Texas de BrazilBest of IgoUgo

Restaurant

We ate here on a Sunday and had their "brunch." We had no idea what sort of restaurant this was, and were pleasantly surprised. The buffet selection they had was a multitude of vegetables, salads, and sauces. The servers then came to your table with large skewers of meat and would cut off a portion for you. There were approximately 10 to 15 different kinds of beef, chicken, and lamb, and they melted in your mouth. They then had a chocolate fountain for desert and many different things to dip into the chocolate, as well as tortes and cakes. It was a great dining experience. Well worth the price, but make sure you go hungry!
