Upon entering this “epicenter of awesome” you are greeted with the iconic spinning globe that is infamous with Universal Studios. I appreciated the overall layout of CityWalk and found it convenient to explore. You can see and hear the excitement from the attractions at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure right from the walkways at CityWalk! The layout with CityWalk as a hub for the two theme parks makes it so easy to visit both theme parks in one day! The restaurant offerings at CityWalk were top notch! My favorite was VIVO Italian Kitchen and the Legendary Mojito and One Love drinks from Bob Marley’s – A Tribute to Freedom. I loved the shopping options as well!
