Highlands is located one and half miles south of US 192 on Highway 27 10 minutes to
Disney entrance Area & Villa Information We have put together some information from our own experience, which we believe you may find of use to you during your stay in on Highlands Reserve. However, if you have any questions, we are more than happy to help you out.
Fastest Route from Airport
From Orlando International (MCO) (less than $5 in tolls) head for the 417 SOUTH. From Sanford International, also head for the 417 SOUTH (less than $10 in tolls). Leave the 417 toll road at exit 2 signposted Celebration Avenue to US192, take a right after toll booth and left at T junction onto the US 192 West. Drive along the US 192 until you reach the US27 South - stay in left lane signposted Haines City. Highlands Reserve entrance is well lit along the US27 on the right hand side, about 1-1/2 miles after you joined the US27 - next right after the traffic lights at Publix. Directions to your villa will be given to you prior to your arrival.
Petrol
Taxi Shuttle Service
Supermarkets
Wal-Mart, is a popular superstore (now affiliated with ASDA) located about 2.5 miles north on the US27 (turn right at first traffic lights after you cross over the US192). Excellent value shopping (same principle as ASDA in the UK, but so much bigger).
Pharmacies
Restaurants & Bars Fancy going to a good American Bar within “staggering” distance from your villa – then we recommend Linksters Tap Room opposite Applebee’s – open 7 days till 2am (Sundays till midnight) – extensive range of drinks and a pool table and very friendly staff – smoking allowed indoors too if you are discrete !! There is a loads of shops and restaurants along the US192 (a bit like Blackpool). We found Sizzler is excellent value for breakfast or brunch - arrive at around 10:30am and you can eat breakfast and lunch for less than $5 - no need to worry about eating in Disney ! We can definitely recommend Carrabba's Italian Grill just after the intersection with Black Lake Road on the right (fantastic food at a very reasonable price). You must try their Carrabbarita - it's a Margarita with a generous twist of Amaretto - to die for !! You will also find a TGI Fridays next door. There are also some excellent takeaways (Chinese, Indian & Pizza) in this area too. 15 miles south of Highlands Reserve on the US27 is Manny’s Chop House on the right – Excellent steaks (try the 24oz T-Bone) at incredibly low prices (4 people can eat with drinks for less than $60) – it’s where the locals go, so very popular. We found that if you call them 40 minutes before you want to go, telling them you are just leaving Universal Studios, they will book you a table, otherwise it can be a long wait !! If you travel north on the US27 towards Clermont - try Guso's, an independent Italian restaurant with excellent food at local prices - it's on the southbound side at Clermont Terrace (near Harley Davidson dealer). If you want somewhere very good but a bit of a haul try Le Coq au Vin at 4800 S. Orange Boulevard at Holden Avenue. It’s about 40 minutes drive, but the food is as good as we have ever eaten in the US. Packed with locals and not very expensive and the chocolate soufflés especially recommended !! Gym / Fitness Centre
Fishing
To get there, go north on US27, across the US50 past Clermont. at about the 2nd lights after the US50 there is a restaurant on the left, turn left at the lights and at the next little crossroad there is a dirt parking area diagonally across on your far left corner. Park in there & walk to the back of the lot where you will see the lake and the Tikki Bar - It's a great spot for a drink and to watch the sunset !!
DVD Video & Games Rental
Please note that UK purchased DVD's (Region 2) will not work in the USA and visa versa. USA purchased DVD's (Region 1) may work in the UK as long as you have a multi-region or a hacked DVD Player. Telephone CallsAll local telephone calls and numbers starting '1-800' can be dialled free from all villas. Some villas offer free national and/or International calls - check individual villa details.
Check-In and Check-Out Times
Linens & Towels If you are planning a visit to one or more of the water theme parks or even plan a trip to the Gulf or Atlantic coast, then please use your own beach towels (or you can purchase these really cheaply from the numerous "gift stores" anywhere along the US192). Private
