The food here is just okay though, I would eat ahead of time if you're going to a concert. I've been to several concerts here and I love how big the space is. It really allows artists to have whatever set up they need and be creative with the space. My only recommendation is that I wish the upper levels had additional hand-held support like railings.... The upper levels are so steep and scary it feels like you're going to fall off the ledge, especially if you're in high heels or trying to take a picture with the stage. The seating is nice and not too uncomfortable. Personally, I would rather see a concert here instead of a comedy show since the space is so big!

I really enjoy the Kia Center. If you can walk a mile each way, free parking can be found at a…read morestreet meter, downtown around Lake Eola or closer, after 6pm and all day on Sunday. At the end of a show big groups of people walk together back towards their cars & it's fun. The food items can be pricey, but a soda for $4, or popcorn, might be the best choices. I tend to sit high up to save money on tickets, and up there part of a sign or screen behind the stage might be blocked by overhead visuals, lighting fixtures. Seats were comfortable. No drink holder. Check the section you're in, it's written on the wall. No railing to hold when walking past other seats. Audio was excellent. One time when I saw Jimmy Buffet the people around me kept talking, but when I saw Weird Al Yankovic he sounded great and I could hear better. I saw a '80s~'90s old school show there once & the BASS was booming, excellent sound. Interesting how they divide the place up for different shows, giant parts of the auditorium/stadium disappear with humongous giant black curtain screens. The place often looks completely different inside, different configuration of seats available. Security & staff are super friendly. Helpful kind people. Escalators go really high up. After the shows the rooftop bars are worth checking out for incredible views & interesting menus.

I'll go see what it's about after my coffee. I'm glad I wandered in and looked around. The two ladies there were very nice and informed me of the sale they had going on in the back room. It is a very pretty little boutique, that not only offers women's clothes, but also for kids and of course accessories. That's what I ended up getting, a nice new makeup bag that I needed, and some hair accessories. Will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.

The Queen's Table is a gift shop located in the United Kingdom Pavilion at Epcot's World Showcase…read more I didn't know about this boutique style shop until I last visited Epcot during the Wine & Dine race. While my mom and I were exploring the United Kingdom Pavilion, we stumbled across this store! The shop blends seamlessly into the pavilions village aesthetic. It has a unique architecture, ornate woodwork and elegant window displays. Inside the store, there are a selection of UK inspired gifts. The inventory can change seasonally though! Inside the store, you'll find tea sets, British candies, shortbread, home décor, fragrances, collectibles, and more! The Queen's Table is connected to other stores in the United Kingdom Pavilion. Each series of shops has different themed aspects of United Kingdom from sports, music, fashion, and literature. It was so much fun exploring all of the shops! The Queens Table was such a unique experience though with all of the different gifts you could purchase!

That was exactly the case with Lords & Ladies! Tucked away in the United Kingdom Pavilion, Lords & Ladies feels a little like wandering into a shop you'd find on a side street somewhere in England! During my visit, the store was filled with British inspired clothing, accessories, and gifts. The atmosphere was really cool. I haven't been in a store like that before. It felt quieter and more relaxed than many of the larger Epcot shops, making it a nice place to slow down for a few minutes! Visiting during Springtime Surprise weekend and the Flower & Garden Festival made the experience even better. The UK Pavilion was full of flowers, people enjoying the festival, and live entertainment nearby, which added to the charm of the area! Epcot's highlights are how each pavilion has little hidden corners that help tell a story, and Lords & Ladies is one of those places. It isn't a must do attraction or a headliner experience, but it adds character to the pavilion and gives you a chance to browse something a little different from the usual Disney merchandise!

Because this L-shaped space is in the back of the pavillion, they have several entrances, including one that exits to a large patio with a stage & viewing area surrounded by lush landscaping. Two other doors exit into a quiet rose garden amid the bustle of the World Showcase foot-traffic. In addition to the soaps & perfumes, this shop also offered many English Imports like Twinings tea & Downton Abbey souvenirs. A large stone fireplace on one end offered a cozy charm. We didn't purchase anything but certainly enjoyed browsing.

They are larger than many of their sister locations nearby, and as such, have more options and variety to shop through. They have all of the standard items you have come to expect when you walk into the chain - think snacks, toys, small home decor, exercise accessories, and techie stuff. They usually have only one or two employees working at this location, which is fine as the store is pretty self-serve and doesn't demand much need for assistance. The store itself was clean and well-kept. As the name alludes to the majority of items are five dollars or less. There are a handful of things that go above this pricing threshold, but it is all clearly marked. Overall: A Solid larger location for the chain store that has all the items you expect to see inside.

From the outside, the gallery building was impressive! it was a beautiful replica of an old, about 1200 A.D., traditional Norwegian stave church. The details on the exterior of the building were beautiful. The wood carvings and architectural detail are very interesting when viewed up close. I have passed by this gallery building many times and didn't realize that you can actually enter the gallery. This may be another "hidden gem" for guests at Epcot! There is a relatively short exhibit to walk through that mainly focuses on Norse Mythology specifically the Vikings. The exhibit mainly revolves around some of the main Viking Gods like Thor, Loki & Freyja. Since the exhibit is somewhat small, this exhibit can be walked through fairly quickly. However, the exhibit has been well built out. A large piece of the exhibit is centered around an array of carved figures, as well as several artifacts and exhibits explaining various aspects of Norse Mythology. This exhibit is certainly more educational then entertaining, however, I feel like it was a nice little "mini-museum" type experience within the larger park. One of the things I liked about it is that it's an opportunity to take a break from the crowds! It was cool inside, air conditioned, and gave me time to relax for a little while. Many guests make their way right over to Frozen Ever After next door, as a result, this area can get overlooked! I'm glad I took the time to check it out. It's a cool, low key experience that adds a little depth to the Norway Pavilion!

DON'T MISS THE CULTURAL STORY OF THE BUILDING…read more The Stave Church Gallery is housed in a very impressive looking building in the EPCOT Norway Pavilion. We were disappointed by what we saw inside the building - a single small room with a few artifacts (real or replicas?) with attached stories (ancient Viking myths or Disney movie plots?). Somehow Disney lost us here but during our short visit, we completely missed the story of the cultural significance of the Stave Church. We later learned that the word stave refers to an architectural style using vertical wood posts known as staves. Stave churches were medieval wood churches that date back to Norway 1100s and the EPCOT Stave Church Gallery is a replica of the Gol Stave Church that was built in the 1200s.
