Universal City Walk Worth it??

[goofylover]

We will be at WDW for 9 days.
Our friend says we HAVE to do city walk at Universal.
Do you agree?

That would depend on what you enjoy. I personally don't consider it a must do. They have Margaritaville which I enjoy very much actually. They have some clubs which I have never been to because I am not a club person. If you enjoy clubs then it might be fun to go check them out. They also have Emerils which again no idea how good that is as I am a picky eater and I probably wouldnt enjoy that food. I think only reason you would absolutely HAVE to do it is if you enjoy club hoping and want to check them out at citywalk.

For night life, I think this is one thing where Universal outdoes Disney. More so when Pleasure Island shuts down in its current form. There is a great selection of restaurants. There are a number of clubs, we wouldn't go to them any more, but we always enjoy City Walk. If you do go, go after 6:00 p.m. as parking will be free.

If you are seeking great themed restaurants and clubs then you will find much more variety at City Walk. I consider Bob Marley's a must do.

We go every year as we always have dinner at Emeril's--usually our night of arrival in Florida (this year we are doing it at the end of our Disney trip on the way to our stay in Daytona Beach). There are several restaurants, some nice shops and some fun shops, Dippin Dots, Starbucks, movie theater, etc.

I would go hands down for just the food at Latin Quarter! Arroz con Pollo is fabulous and so is everything else! You would be losing out big time if you missed out on it1

We almost ALWAYS do a night there eating at either Hard Rock or Margaritaville. Some ties there are activities going on too, bands and such. I don't care much for US/IOA compared to WDW but I too think City Walk is equal or better than DTD.

City Walk is fantastic..great place to spend some time, have a wonderful meal, etc. You can also hop the boat and check out the wonderful resorts easily!

We usually do this. We are Hard Rock pin collectors. We hop on the boat to the Hard Rock hotel and buy some pins, and then we head to the Cafe. Didn't eat there the last time though because they changed their menu and removed our favorite item from it. We ended up cooking in our timeshare unit and I developed a new recipe for tortellini in alfredo sauce that is awesome, better and cheaper than what we would have ate at HRC.

I always find CW very fun @ night..

Try Pat O'Brians and watch the dueling pianos.And great hurricanes

They have great restaurants that are very inexpensive and greatly themed...

How about CitiWalk with your child along... DS will be 11.

I imagine that all clubs and restaurant cover-charge areas are restricted to adults only? This is something that we should only plan on for dinner...

 

[ntsammy5]

I did that once about 10 years ago, but said son had just turned 21.

 

[MickeyNicki]

Its ok, shops, Starbucks, restaurants. We love the Jimmy Buffet place, I could spend hours in there drinking and singing!

 

[Kaler131]

I'm also a fan of Margaritaville! I haven't really gone anywhere else in CW except there, but we loved it!

I've taken my kids all the time to eat. We usually finish up around 9 pm or so and the clubbing people are just showing up. If you are eating dinner, I DONT think you get charged the cover.
