Foodie desperately seeks interesting (non chain) food choices in and around Disney Florida

[BettyBathroom]

We're going to Disney as a gift to the dcs, it's our idea of food hell but hoping there's someone out there who can change our view on the food.

We got a guide with our villa,( which is near Kissimee, Davenport, Clermont) but it was a long list of good food chains but that's not really what we're after.
Hoping someone who shares my passion for good food can give me their top tips for good food whether it be Vietnamese, Korean, Italian, Southern BBQ, Mexican, Cuban or whatever. Would love to find those special independent places that serve real good food. We will have our share of Character meals and plastic food...but I can't eat mediocre touristy food all week - I can cook for us but would ideally like a few food places to get excited about visiting too.

Another vote for Wolfgang Puck express at Downtown Disney. The 3 places where your villa may be are not close to each other so not easy to recommend places to eat that are not chains. Take a look at www.thedibb.co.uk for masses of information you will find useful.

i think i might print off these pages. im going back to Orlando in Oct.
makes me excited just reading this thread.
