My Favourite Shop at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando, Florida
Anthropologie at the Mall at Millenia in Orlando Florida
We travel to Orlando, Florida a few times a year, but at the top of my personal shopping list is a browse round a small store in the Mall at Millennia called Anthropologie. Located in a quiet corner on the ground floor of the mall, the seating outside will be full of husbands and boyfriends falling asleep as their partners are trying on stunning outfits! The window displays are something to behold and admire, even before you enter the shop, changing with each season, they often use inventive ways to recycle old everyday items into stunning works of art. It’s an interesting place to be swathed in lovely clothes and fabulous home décor. A different world to all the chain brands you would normally see in the mall, Anthropologie is for those that want to stand out from the crowd. I’m a huge fan of the knitwear, and make it a personal goal to finda new addition to my wardrobe with each visit. The assistants in the store are very friendly, and only too happy to help put together an outfit for you, or run for a different size from the changing room. For those looking for a bargain, you have to explore the ‘sale grotto’ at the rear of the shop, tucked away on the left hand side. Enjoy! – Claire, VR360
The Proper Pie Company – Davenport, Florida
The Proper Pie Company is located on Highway 27, just 1.25 miles south of the I-4, a hidden gem to both tourists and residents. As the name suggests, this English style bakery whips up over 200 freshly baked pies a day.
With over twenty different flavors, from the traditional to the eccentric, there is a treat in store for every member of the family. Customary English favorites such as Steak and Guinness, Cornish pasties, and Steak and Kidney fill the shelves of the deli. They are accompanied by some more unusual, yet equally mouth-watering varieties like Chicken Curry, Shepherd’s Pie in a Pie, Chicken Cordon Bleu, and Beef Stroganoff, just to name a few. All of the pies can be left in the fridge for 4 to 5 days, and they all freeze well.

Celebration Florida Christmas Snow Fall
Celebration in Orlando Florida is kicking off the holiday season with there nightly snow fall from Saturday 26th November. On opening night Santa Claus will be there so you still have time to sit on his knee and ask for a present. There will also be strolling carollers, christmas tree lighting at 5.55pm, festive treats and all the local restaurants are open as normal so why not take the kids to enjoy the snow and grab some dinner afterward.
Highly recommended, is the clam chowder at the Boston Market restaurant, but make sure you get extra crackers (mine always get stolen by Claire!).
The Celebration Snow Fall runs daily from the 26th November to 31st December at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm and 9pm.
Below is a video from last year to give you an idea of what it’s like, sorry about the music but this was the best video I could find on youtube. If you have your own video that is better please let me know and I will add it.
Ridgewood Lakes Golf Course – Davenport Florida
9th Hole at Ridgewood Lakes Golf Club in Davenport Florida
Located in Davenport Florida and close to all the main Orlando theme park attractions Ridgewood Lakes Golf Course is a challenging par 72 layout with water on nearly every hole. Ridgewood Lakes is a semi private golf club which is open to the public and green fees range from $25 – $60 depending on the time of year with winter being the more expensive time to play.
Only 3 weeks until I am back there and looking forward to playing at Ridgewood Lakes in shorts and tee shirt so fingers crossed the weather is still nice and warm.
