Electronics store close to WDW

Post by delsdad » Thu Dec 20, 2012 7:05 pm

I will be arriving on Jan 6 at WDW for a weeks stay. A friend who is joining us is looking for a place to pick up an iPhone 5 Lifeproof case. Its some sort of waterproof case for his phone. Can anyone suggest a good location near property ( we do have a car) for us to find such a case ? im trying to convince him to order from amazon, but he wants to find it in a store.

I know Best Buy has it. If you are looking for a place easily accessible, well... I know how to make it accessible. See below.

I think the closest Best Buy to Disney World would be Osceola Parkway and John Young.

There are three that are pretty much all the same distance: The Loop (John Young & Osceola), Winter Garden at Fowlers Grove and Davenport, just straight down I-4 to 27. Which one would be closest to drive to? I am not exactly sure.

The advantage of the Osceola and Winter Garden locations is that they're both pretty close to a 5 Guys Burgers if you wanted to take a side trip. And Oscola is also near the County Softball Complex, if you wanted to go to the batting cages.

MMMMM. Five Guys. Best burgers ever. But unless you're really hungry, get the Jr. ones.

We have 5 Guys and In-n-Out here and I would take In-n-Out any day over 5 Guys. My daughter disagrees, but she doesn't have the years of fine hamburger experience that I have.

I agree completely ! In and Out is miles better. And there is a 5 guys about a 5 minute walk from home here. I just don't bother. We have Harveys, a Canadian chain delivering better burgers in every mall (and Home Depot) in the country !

I've always thought 5 guys was over rated, but it seems to be the only burger place people around here actually like for some reason.


There's no place like 127.0.0.1

I'm with Lasolimu, I was never impressed with 5 Guys.
I'd much rather go to Checkers/Rallys for a good burger then go near a 5 guys.


...I also have a admitted weakness for Steak'n'Shake.
