CityWalk Orlando Updates & Changes General Thread

[IAmFloridaBorn]

The tricky thing with CityWalk is the waiting for leases to expire(or buyouts as Universal has done in the past).

Any upcoming?

Any upcoming?

From what I've heard, a couple have expired recently and they have gone to month-t0-month leases with the tenants as they wait for a few more before the next CityWalk update.

Which ones are being forced out? Are there any that aren't going?

This is good information. The Bread Box sounds like a great choice for those on a budget. I'll have to try it out.

As far as new retail concepts for CityWalk I'd like to see an art galley for Universal. It could feature original works based on past and present attractions, areas of the parks, and Universal properties from film and television. It could also sell posters, prints, and collectables. I think this was brought up before under another thread but is something I would like to see.

The Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue sound track still plays in CityWalk. I just heard the intro music, Beetlejuice's voice and all.

Where? Last week when I was there, I heard Demi Lovato and Hilary Duff. No complaints here.

Sounds like bread box is far more reasonably priced than when I went when it first opened.

I'd be more then happy to see more changes come to city walk, the current line up of stores is in need of a shake up IMO.

 

[Brian G.]

Yeah, I'd definitely give BreadBox another go if you haven't been since it first opened.

I was very satisfied with the meal I had there in December.

Didn't they have something similar to this in back in the day at Downtown Disney? Though it was more aimed at film. Lots of posters and prints with autographed items as well.

Disney currently has a Art store in Epcot that is really cool. Has ride and main street stuff. Along with a lot of the characters.

Don't they have an Art of Disney store in every park now? Ik even Disney Springs has one now.

No I wouldn't want it to be like that store. The poster and prints would be original works from artists inside and hopefully outside the company based on Universal films or attractions. I'm thinking of a store more like the art stores on Main Street at MK and the one just after Spaceship Earth at Epcot.

Yes. Its near Rainforest café. The thing though is they also sell all that stuff on Amazon as well and same stuff at the store in WDW I have found in the art gallery store in Anaheim.

The have original outside commissioned pieces as well. Just approved to be made by Disney.

Based on what everyone is saying , may have too. That first experience was absolutely horrible, and said I'd NEVER return.

All of the Art of Disney stores sell the same stuff in WDW.
