heyy,
I'm going to be in Florida for about two weeks, and it'll be easy for me to get fast food every day. I need some good places to eat while I'm down there!
I will be in the Orlando area. I don't mind up to an hour drive. so please, if you know of any good spots to eat let me know!

    If you have access to a kitchenette or even just a microwave and mini fridge, you might do better to go to the local piggly wiggly or wegmans supermarket and cook your own food. Cheaper and healthier.

    I agree with @Witchdoctor58. You can do really well with just a microwave. If there's not one in your room, there might be one you can use in the "breakfast area" if the hotel offers free breakfast. I travel with a small electric skillet, some lightweight plates and bowls and flatware.

    Other options, if you can't cook at the hotel, is to get food from a food bar at a supermarket. Salad bar is a great option. Of course, Wegman's has awesome choices, and (at least near me) you can go upstairs and eat anything you buy there. Pick up some fruit to keep in your room for snacks - apples, oranges and bananas and many others don't need a fridge. You can even find plenty of healthy choices at 7-11 (or whatever they have in Florida). Yogurt, cheese, crackers, sandwiches, sometimes hard boiled eggs...

    Not sure if still there, but a few years ago went to a restaurant called Seasons 52 that has everything calorie counted - smaller Brit sized portions! Still think about the stuffed chillis.... Yum!

    It is a major city with tourists from all over the world. You can get anything you want.
    Do you have specific concerns? Are you going to be in a hotel room? Ask for a microwave and a fridge.
    The hotel probably has a restaurant. You can call ahead of time to ask about their menu.

    The annual Flower & Garden festival is underway at Epcot. They have food booths from around the world.

    I was there a week ago.

    Well, we are out of Piggly Wiggly's in the metro Orlando area (used to have one in Ocoee.) Publix is the go-to supermarket.
