Solana Resort The club house has a number of facilities including the resort shop. This is fine for snacks and drinks but you will need to head just 2 miles North on HW27 to Berry Road Plaza for the nearest Supermarket. Also at the club house you will find many, many leaflets available advertising nearby restaurants and attractions. Many of these have discount vouchers that you and your family can use. The staff can also help you with attraction tickets and other local information.
Berry Road Plaza This is the main shopping plaza and comprises a reasonable size strip mall with Publix supermarket (a little more expensive than Wal Mart - but very clean and convenient) and other shops and restaurants. There is generous parking and the area is nice and clean and the shop staff friendly. There are numerous restaurants nearby up and down the HW27 including Cracker Barrell and other well known franchise restaurants. Berry Road Plaza serves as a useful convenience and is a short drive of less than 5 mins!
Highway 192 The 192 is a long stretch of highway with mile markers to help you locate the huge number of shops; restaurants and attractions that are located along it's length. The road is a multi lane highway punctuated by frequent traffic lights with service roads either side, giving access to the shops and restaurants. You will find most well known buffet restaurants such as Denny's, Shoney's, Sizzler, IHOP, Steak & Shake etc. (as well as McDonalds, Burger King etc.). Old Town is located on the side east of the I4 near Marker 9. Worth seeing the classic car shows on Friday and Saturday nights! There is a great value Wal Mart located at Marker 14 and the entrance to Celebration is near Marker 8. Continuing west along the 192 to Marker 15 will take you into down town Kissimmee (south of Orlando). HW192 is reached from Solana Resort by heading a few miles north on HW27 and turning left onto the HW192. It's a 10 minute drive at most!
Highway 27 Highway 27 is developing rapidly with many new resort communities (of Solana is one of the newest) and more shops and restaurants. A very large shopping and business complex is being built on HW27 south at the intersection of the I4. There is also another large Wal-Mart supermarket on HW27 north (turning right from the 192 west).
