Does Regal Palms have a shuttle to Disney?

"Does Regal Palms have a shuttle to Disney?"

"Does Regal Palms have a shuttle to the airport?"

When people call us about our townhouse or the resort, these are among the most frequently asked questions.

The answer: No, Regal Palms Resort does not provide a shuttle service to Walt Disney World, the airport, or any of the other area attractions.

Townhouses at Regal Palms Resort are "self-catered"--meaning you'll want (and need) to pick up your own groceries, toiletries and other sundry supplies. (Check out our helpful list of what to buy before or when you arrive at Regal Palms Resort.) You'll need a car for that shopping, and for getting out to some of the area restaurants. Personally, we always enjoy the freedom of having our own rental car so we can go where we want, when we want.

Of course, when you stay at Regal Palms, you spend a lot less and still get more space--which we think more than makes up for having to drive yourself to the parks. (And if you still need to arrange for transportation to or from the airport, you can easily hire one of the many area taxi/shuttle services.)

Been to Busch Gardens?

When you think of Regal Palms Resort, you probably think about the Disney World parks--and with good reason. After all, Regal Palms is just minutes from Walt Disney World. However, thanks to its location southwest of Orlando, Regal Palms is also convenient to the sights and sounds of Tampa.

In fact, during our recent stay at Regal Palms Resort, we made the trip to Busch Gardens in Tampa. We clocked it at just about 50 miles, and it took less than an hour since most of the trip is high-speed I-4 driving.

If you're planning a stay at Regal Palms Resort, consider adding Busch Gardens in Tampa to your to-do list--especially if you love animals or roller coasters or BOTH. Busch Gardens doesn't disappoint in either category!

We had a ball feeding kangaroos, learning about Asian elephants and experiencing some of the award-winning coasters.

Santa Fe Cattle Co.

On our recent trip to Regal Palms, we discovered a new-to-us chain restaurant called Santa Fe Cattle Co. Located on US 27--just past the intersection with US 192--it's only about 10 minutes from Regal Palms Resort & Spa.

Although the restaurant also offers "Chuckwagon Breakfasts" from 7:30 to 10:30 in the morning, we dined from its lunch/dinner menu. We were pleased with the selection of steaks, chicken, sandwiches and salads. The grownups shared chicken-steak combo fajitas, which were delicious. The kiddo had classic mac and cheese from the children's menu.

A Santa Fe plus: the basket of steaming-hot yeast rolls and cornbread that's brought to every table. Like Texas Roadhouse and other chain steakhouses, Santa Fe Cattle Co. also provides a bucket of peanuts in the shell. And the wait staff--who provide excellent service with a welcome dash of Southern hospitality--encourage patrons to toss the empty shells right on the floor.

If you're looking for a hearty meat 'n' potatoes meal with Southwestern flair, check out Santa Fe Cattle Co. And if you're ready to book your stay at Regal Palms, consider our four-bedroom, three-bathroom townhouse. To learn more, visit our website or call Susan at 1-888-353-6600.
