Tony Romas closed a few years ago...

We have never found this short trip worthy of a stop. It is only a max of 90 minutes depending on traffic. ???

Ditto!

All of the Cheddar's I've been to, have been remarkable in the value they provide...with great food and great prices. :thumbup:

Disney Springs is kind of far away from the airport, also I don't know if the restaurants will still be open at 1:30 am.

That's a good idea if they stay open all night, and some Fridays do.
