Florida has always been a fun state to explore, and I am speaking beyond Walt Disney World. During my travels to Florida, I have been as far north as Fernandina Beach to as far south as the tip of the Florida Keys.

Yes, I have been to Walt Disney World a few times, but there is a lot more to the Sunshine State than a trip to an amusement park. There is also a lot more to eat and drink beyond the Disney theme park too.

Although I have posted the tasty Disney treats that I ate while in Orlando, I have also journaled other dishes that I had tried while traveling the state. From key lime pie in Key West, to conch fritters, and to typical take-aways of pizza and sandwiches- a food journal of ‘What I ate in Florida’! 🌞
