The Condition of City Walk

[LikeMike]

Thanks Felipe! I never knew about the AP city walk discounts, I'm even happier about having one now!

Yeah it was also mentioned by one of my friends that all day would tire us out so we'll probably just hit city walk.

Thanks for your knowledge.

Maybe not entirely relevant here but can any of you guys tell me what City Walk is like for a night out. I'm turning 21 later this year and want to have a day at the parks with my friends then a good few drinks (probably too many).
Is it typically busy on a certain night? lively? where's the best places so on.

Any help is appreciated!

Dont forget the dueling piano bar at Pat O'Brien. Hands down my favorite place at Citywalk to unwind

Agreed, love that place. One of the only places I tend to visit when at City Walk.

I am hoping the Wood Fired Pizza Place gives Via Napoli and Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza a run for my money. And Don Quixote better have a good tequila bar!

Now that would be awesome if so, for both :thumbs:

Some parts of that night are a blur so I am not sure, but I think we might have missed Pat O'Brien Well, there's always next time!



BTW, from yesterday, as seen on @OrlandoInformer:

Pastamore Marketplace @UniversalORL starts renovations, UO won't confirm what's coming (full-service area still open)

Closer look at Pastamore Marketplace @UniversalORL under renovation

Another @UniversalORL CityWalk dining venue newly under renovation: Latin Quarter

Isn't it a bit strange that they're breaking ground on this in July/August? Wouldn't the off season for the parks be a better time?

Yes. But the off season isn't until Jan. They want this done before the Christmas crowds show up.

I heard they are changing the name to Universal Springs also ound:

We're about to enter a serious off season. Breaking ground in August just leads to faster construction in Sept-Nov.

Precisely! Starbucks was notified they must be open by early December in CW and IOA.

When should the Pizza and Mexican places open?

 

[John321]

8/6

Thanks for the pic, John :thumbs: I just noticed they also removed the jumbotron. You can see the green / teal frame there, to the left of LQ.

So where exactly will the downstairs Starbucks be? I think it would easier to have below the original and make it a two story building.

I work at the Main Street Bakery Starbucks, and our Starbucks district manager is in charge of the Universal ones too.... It kills me that he has seen the plans for the City Walk and IOA stores, but can not share :/ ;p;

 

[Legolas813]

I took this on Monday. The bottom floor walk-up cafe is completely gutted.

 

[TheMackMachine]

I wonder if the coal-fired pizza rumor to replace the Pastamore quick service is true, what happens to Big Kahuna Pizza? The place on the second deck of City Walk that is across from Starbucks? Some of you shocked that this exists? Me too!

BTW, this rumor is not from this site so this could be dead wrong.
