HIGH TIDE HARRYS: A Leisurely Escape by the Airport


By LeisureTime TV


If you're flying into or out of Orlando International Airport (MCO) and looking for a place that feels like real Florida, skip the chain restaurants and head over to High Tide Harry's. Located just minutes from the airport, this longtime local favorite serves up fresh seafood, oversized drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere that immediately puts you into vacation mode.

A True Orlando Local Gem

While many visitors rush straight to the theme parks, High Tide Harry's offers something different—a taste of the Orlando locals' side of town. The colorful building covered in sea life artwork lets you know you've arrived somewhere unique before you even walk through the door.


The restaurant has been serving Central Florida seafood lovers for decades and has built a reputation for generous portions, friendly service, and a fun nautical atmosphere.

Beer... Served in Fishbowls

One of the most memorable things on the menu isn't even seafood—it's the famous fishbowl beer. Yes, your cold draft beer arrives in a giant fishbowl-shaped glass that instantly becomes a conversation starter.

Whether you're celebrating the start of your vacation or winding down before heading back to the airport, it's a fun way to kick off the meal and embrace the Florida vacation spirit.


Perfect for Arrival Day or Departure Day

One of the biggest advantages of High Tide Harry's is its location. It's only a short drive from Orlando International Airport, making it an ideal stop:

  • ✔ Before checking into your Disney or Universal hotel
  • ✔ After landing when you want a relaxing local meal
  • ✔ Before heading to the airport for your flight home
  • ✔ During a layover or airport hotel stay

Instead of spending your first or last Orlando meal in a crowded airport terminal, you can enjoy fresh seafood and local character just minutes away.

The LeisureTime TV Verdict

High Tide Harry's combines everything we love about hidden local finds: great seafood, fun drinks, colorful dΓ©cor, and a welcoming atmosphere. It's one of those places that instantly feels like vacation, even if you're only in Orlando for a few hours.

If your travels take you through Orlando International Airport, consider making High Tide Harry's part of the journey. Order some oysters, grab a fishbowl beer, and enjoy a little slice of old-school Florida before continuing your adventure.


🌴 LeisureTime TV Tip: Arrive hungry, order seafood, and don't leave without seeing one of the famous fishbowl beers in person.




Polynesian Bus Stop Under Construction. So Of Course, We Sing!!

🎢 The Polynesian Bus Stop 🎢

Sometimes the smallest things at Disney become the biggest adventures!

During a recent visit to Disney's Polynesian Village Resort, we discovered that the main bus stop area was undergoing repairs and construction. While most people would simply walk by and continue on with their day, we decided to have a little fun with it.

So naturally, we created a silly song dedicated to the bus stop repairs. Because that's just how things work around here at Leisure Time TV.

Whether you're a Disney fan, a Polynesian Resort regular, or someone who enjoys a good laugh, we hope this short video brings a smile to your face.

2026 Resort Pool Madness FULL RECAP

πŸ† Hard Rock Hotel Wins 2026 Resort Pool Madness Championship

The 2026 LeisureTime TV Resort Pool Madness tournament delivered upsets, powerhouse performances, and a championship run to remember.

🎸 The Champion: Hard Rock Hotel

When the dust settled, Hard Rock Hotel stood alone at the top. Known for its high-energy vibe, iconic underwater music, and one of the most recognizable slides in Orlando, Hard Rock powered through one of the toughest paths in the bracket.

πŸ”₯ Hard Rock’s Road to the Title

  • Opening Rounds: Took care of business early, setting the tone with decisive wins.
  • Sweet 16: Defeated Hilton Orlando in a statement victory.
  • Elite 8: Survived a loaded bracket featuring Omni ChampionsGate and Swan & Dolphin.
  • Final Four: Proved its dominance with another convincing performance to reach the finals.
  • Championship: Defeated Helios Grand to secure the title.

🌊 Helios Grand’s Impressive Run

The breakout story of the tournament was Helios Grand, which stormed through a stacked side of the bracket.

  • Defeated Grand Floridian in one of the biggest upsets
  • Eliminated Portofino Bay, a Universal fan favorite
  • Outlasted a field that included Polynesian and Yacht & Beach Club

🚨 Biggest Moments

  • Helios Grand over Grand Floridian (major upset)
  • Hard Rock over Hilton Orlando (power win)
  • Deep runs cut short for Polynesian and Yacht & Beach
  • Terra Luna’s early Cinderella push

🏁 Championship Matchup

The finals featured a clash of styles:

  • Hard Rock Hotel: High-energy, music-driven, fan-favorite atmosphere
  • Helios Grand: Modern luxury and rising popularity

In the end, Hard Rock’s energy, iconic features, and fan appeal proved too much, earning them the 2026 title.

🎯 Final Takeaway

This year’s tournament showed that fun and experience can outweigh pure luxury. While traditional Disney favorites remained strong, it was Universal’s Hard Rock Hotel that captured the crown.
