Sunday 28 October - Lunch at ChampionsGate

ChampionsGate is our nearest centre for shops and restaurants and describes itself modestly as "Orlando’s premier tourist and commercial destination".  It covers some 1,500 acres and lies south-west of The Walt Disney World Resort.  ChampionsGate® is just off the Orlando to Tampa I-4 freeway and has what it says are stately rows of towering palm trees behind the beautifully-designed double gates. With 36 holes of championship golf designed by International golf champion Greg Norman, ChampionsGate "is like no other golf resort in the world".

Champions Village is the development’s retail centre and is anchored by such as its Publix supermarket. McDonalds, Subways, Walgreens, 7/Eleven, Chili’s Grill and Bar, Miller’s Ale House, Red Robin, Regions Bank and Watson Realty.  Additional restaurants and retail stores are currently under construction to complement the existing shopping centre.

Also now open for business are: CG Salon, Envy Nails, Woof Gang Bakery and Grooming, Tijuana Flats, Menchie’s, Jersey Mike’s, Blue Coast and Osteria. Opening soon are Huey Magoos Chicken Tenders, Great Clips and Little Greek Restaurant.
