CityWalk Expansion

[Thatguyoverwhere]

I can't say I'm the biggest fan of the tie dye look of Antojitos, but it'll probably grow on me like anything else...

When I went to city walk a week ago, I was craving ice cream.

Don't they have ice cream in the Cinnabon?

Yup. That's where I go when I want some dessert in CW. I really enjoyed the apple empanadas in Latin Quarter. I'm hoping they come over to Antojitos, but I doubt it.

I'm really curious what the building looks like at night now with the new lighting package. Anybody seen any pictures yet?

I heard they're planning to open Antojitos early February, and softs may happen at the end of January. This makes total sense and it would be perfect timing for the Spring break / Mardi Gras crowds

I didn't want to skim through 18 pages so sorry if it's been answered, but where is all this new stuff going in CityWalk? Is anything being replaced? I looked at all the concept art and couldn't even think where they're gonna put all of this.

Latin Quarter -> Antojitos
Endangered Species Store -> Starbucks/Cold Stone
Pastamore -> Red Oven/VIVO
Cigarz -> Breadbox
TCBY -> Breadbox
Katie's Candy Company -> Menchies
Galaxy Bar -> Hot Dog Hall of Fame
Old Starbucks location -> The Cowfish

Antojitos looks great do we know when the rest of the citywalk phase is expected to open by?

That would be a great option! It'd be way better than NBA City and NASCAR Cafe put together, and should have a broader appeal as well

I don't think there's any one, specific date for the rest of the CityWalk expansion; rather I think it's going to be one new restaurant/store at a time, since some of them haven't even begun construct yet, though I was under the impression they would try to have most or all of it finished by the time Potter opens, or at least by the end of the year...

Ahh thanks for that. Nice to see nothing that significant is being replaced. Although I liked going to TCBY for ice cream when Cinnabon is too crowded. Well at least I'll have ColdStone and the frozen yogurt place as options

I see it the opposite--at least NASCAR and NBA have some sort of hook. I don't know that "Xfinity" tells Joe Tourist, "hey, you can watch your favorite game here."

Then again, I question the viability of any sports bar in CityWalk--Universal doesn't have the captured market of hotel guests with crappy cable that WDW has, too much trouble/too expensive for Orlando locals to head over for a regular game. And to quote Jon Taffer, sports bars only give you 70 nights a year anyway.

At night, the paint job on Antojitos is much less apparent, and the sign looks quite nice lit up. I have no idea when they are supposed to open, but I hope it's soon. As far as the rest of it, I believe the plan is to open in June, but I'm betting Cowfish will be last, since the new Starbucks still looks to have a way to go before it's ready, and Cowfish can't start construction until Starbucks moves.

I don't know why you guys are so keen on replacing Nascar. I've had good food there the last few times I've been, the TVs at the booths are cool, I think they even have the arcade upstairs? I enjoy it..

Extremely low chance of happening, but it would be cool if they replaced Bubba Gumps with a Tibbys
