All roads lead to International Drive
Staying on International Drive puts you in the center of
Orlando's theme parks and attractions.
With designer boutiques to
outlet malls, and quality shopping at bargain prices, the International
Drive resort area is a well-known destination for serious shoppers. From
electronics, sportswear, souvenirs and name brand designer
outlets, shopping centers like Festival Bay Mall at International Drive,
Prime Outlets Orlando and Orlando Premium Outlets provide a "shop till
you drop" experience.
The new Ron Jon Surf
Shop features an island-look with authentic bamboo and sisal-rope
structures, thatched roofs and sand-textured walkways. A beach scene,
complete with a 1934-replica Ford Woody, sand dunes and a lighted Ron
Jon billboard, greet customers at the store entrance. Inside,
island-themed surf shacks display swimsuits, tank tops, sunglasses,
sandals, surfboards, skateboards and thousands of other items. The
Ron Jon Surf Park, which will feature three wave pools
for all skill levels as well as a surfing school, is scheduled to open
in early 2007.
In addition to the many
established dining options -- ranging from a Spanish tapasstyle
menu at Café Tu Tu Tango to authentic and innovative Chinese cuisine
at Ming Court -- the International Drive area boasts two additions to
tempt your palette. Texas de Brazil is now serving Brazilian-inspired
fare at its new 10,000-square-foot restaurant on north International
Drive. Dixie Crossroads, a 25-year favorite of astronauts and Kennedy
Space Center employees at the Space Coast, has opened an Orlando
location at Festival Bay Mall at International Drive.
