CityWalk Orlando Updates & Changes General Thread

What about a replacement for Bubba Gumps ?
I can’t figure that place out. It’s either sitting on the hottest real estate in CityWalk (next to the parking garage) or the worst (far away from parks and hotels). It’s owned by Landry’s who clearly has an amazing relationship with Disney. It’s based on a decades-old movie.

I don’t get how the whole chain survives. I’m a little surprised that Universal keeps it around but CityWalk has far more pressing needs
 
There are a plethora of poor restaurants in citywalk. They have several projects to choose from.

Bob Marleys is terrible, Bubba Gump, Tim Hortons, Pat O’s, etc. Take your pick.

The more Toothsomes, Antojitos, Vivos and Big Fires; the better. Although the one time I ate at Vivos... meh. Antojitos and Toothsome are certainly standouts.

We don’t eat in the parks as much anymore since Toothesome opened and we finally gave Sntojitos a shot. Both are must visits each time we come down

I would much rather see Antojito’s replaced before Bubba Gump.

Do NOT touch Pat O's. Where else can I get unsuspecting folks to try the Hurricane... "oh there's not much booze in this"....

But I like Bubba Gump :)
 
“Ninety percent of the shrimp we eat is imported, and almost all of that comes from farms in Southeast Asia and Central America. An estimated 50 to 60 percent of farmed shrimp from these regions is raised in ponds that were once mangrove forests — a fact that could spell trouble for the climate.”

The chain survives on rural white American evangelicals. Without turning this into a debate, that's the fact. Forrest Gump is Citizen Kane for that group.

Ever since the merger with Burger King yes the quality has steadily declined and they lost their charm.

Burger King? Wasn't it the case I the 90s that Wendy's operated Tims inthe States, and vice versa? I remember documents to this effect when i worked for Wendy's.

edit to add: I figured out after-posting multi quote. You're welcome, mods. :)

Bob Marley's is legitimately my favorite restaurant in Citywalk. :(

Also, there's not a Tim Hortons at Citywalk. :grin:
