I'm in the USA and I always enjoy your videos. They are always highly detailed, very helpful, and beautifully shot! Thank you for all your hard work. 🌹
Bless you, thanks for that 😁
I enthusiastically concur!! Well Said!
first time I visited citywalk I felt overwhelmed, specially since it's a hub to the parks and couldn't really explore it since the priority were the parks, so this is a great video for newbies to understand it and to even consider taking a day to just have fun and explore it like you usually do with Disney springs. awesome video!
Thank you Cesar! Yeah that’s the purpose of the videos helping first timers etc.
Although one can feel overwhelmed, it's just smart marketing to make the guests walk through this place to access the theme parks. When I left, tidal waves of locals poured into City Walk after 6 pm. It was insane. Best to set aside an hour in the daytime to explore it. PS: beware that many of these same locals could be passholders so they also flooded into Diagon Alley. I was so shocked that I left. And this was in January! I guess the locals know that the freezing weather scared off many tourists by the end of the day so there was an opportunity to use that season pass and see DA.
Your videos are excellent. Extremely informative without wasteful chatter. I thoroughly enjoy the pace at which you move through the content and your use of maps. 😁
2 money saving suggestions. 1. Appetizers are a great option, particularly at Margarita Ville and NBC grill. 2. Adults are allowed to order of the kids menu anywhere. *If going to toothsomes, the brunch menu is great. Reasonable prices and a lot of food.
Great tips 👍
I always love your videos. You do a great job explaining and your editing is incredible.
Much appreciated! Likewise, great vlogs 😁
Another great insightful video, we have just gotten back from our Florida trip and used lots of information from your videos to help in our trip.
Thanks keep up the work!!
Glad it was useful, thanks for watching 😁👍
Thanks! I absolutely love your channel, please keep making them videos I just love it .
Thank you so much for that!! Amazing, much appreciated!
I'm making an updated idiot's guide to Universal as I type 😁
Nicely done. Well presented. Nicely paced. Tactful. Good, useful information. Thank you.
Love your videos! Every time a see them, I just want to pack my things and go to Florida. Really good job!
Thank you Javier 👍😁
Man, ¡you’re the best! I’m from Guatemala and your content saved my life for my visit to Orlando. Hope your channel can be famous someday.
Thank you Axel!
Clicked on this right away! Great tour of the locations of CityWalk. Your videos are fantastic!
Much appreciated Jordan 😁
Hi there Frugal Brit, just wanted to thank you for creating these videos. The quality is excellent and the reviews are extremely fair. We’ve been planning our trip for some time and have watched and rewatched these many times. Keep up the good work. I did wonder if you had any thoughts on Busch garden in Tampa, which is one of our favourites, but I appreciate it’s a drive. Many thanks, D
Absolutely LOVE Busch gardens. It’s been years since I’ve visited though. Hopefully be doing a video on that within 12 months.
My wife and I were recently there using the shuttle service from our hotel and spent A LOT of our time at City Walk. It really is a great place for dining and activity options. The mini golf was great and we enjoyed Big Fire.
What hotel did you use?
Your videos bring joy! Thanks for your guide!
Thank you 😁
Thank you, i love watching all your videos,very helpfull as allways
Love the work you put in to this channel, if I ever do catch ya in Universal I'll be sure to get you a (resonably priced) beverage as a thank you!
That’s very kind, but not much is reasonably priced these days lol
@@TheFrugalBrit Yeeeeeaaahh, let's just say I am glad I booked the hotel and flights *before* some recent news hahaha.
Still, should be a fun few days and I can't thank you enough for the information and tips given!
At night, 12:35 CityWalk really brings out its best. All in the lights, music - the real atmosphere of a night vibe.
100%
I actually have never actually tried a milkshake at Toothsomes…I genuinely enjoy their food, which is both quite affordable and very well done, like a superior version of Cheesecake Factory (and, if they EVER open, we’re supposed to be getting a West Coast version at Universal CityWalk Hollywood, too!)…Marvelous, very thorough job as usual, my good sir!
Yeah Toothsome has climbed my ranking a bit based on my last visit 😁
Another brilliant video so many tips and tricks👌🏻
Another fantastic indepth video. I'm stopping near the top end of ID next April so I can see us doing a few nights out on City Walk.
Cheers 👍🍻
Thanks Lee! I recommend Coco Thai and Aashirwad on that end of I-Drive 👍
Hope you have a great trip, I’ll be there April/May.
@@TheFrugalBrit Cheers. I'll give them a try 👍🍻
That chicken plate at grill and brew. Yum
FB nailed it . Great and enjoyable 😊👍
Many thanks Dax!!
Been back a week. We loved City Walk. Really enjoyed Panda Express for the Orange Chicken and Egg fried rice. Fantastic flavour and value for money
Yeah I love Panda Express, my guilty pleasure 😋
Another brilliant video mate
Thanks Callum 👍😁
Great to know, I’m still hoping to watch more new videos you do. I’m hoping to go to Disney world in September 2023.
Thank you for this video
Great video as always 👍
Thank you Tony 😁
Toothsomes shakes come in a souvenir glass. Something that seems a secret, so many people leave them on the table, half full ... because the shakes are so dang large
That would have been worth me mentioning, thank you for that!
You answered my question…
Yes, I have the PLASTIC cup from Toothsomes
Hi,Great video.If You want go to the City Walk only,do you need pay the Universal Studios parking?
Yeah you do unless you arrive after 6pm. Not sure if this changes at the weekend tbh.
Is that the dream sequence transition sound from Hey Arthur
Great video. How far in advance do people make reservations for restaurants on city walk? And do you book online/on an app? Thank you
Thank you! Usually a week is fine 👍, but obviously the more time the better.
nicely done!
Thanks! 😁
Are the restaurants good for kids that have food allergies? Your video are great.
Oh, my friend, I beg to differ with you about your subdued opinion of VooDoo donuts! Their donuts are Exceptional and I would honestly rank their level of mastery and creativity in the yeasty arts as EQUAL to that of the Wizards at Gideons over the Cookie Arts! I live an excruciating two plus driving slog through the hell that is Los Angeles area traffic away from the nearest VooDoo donuts to my home in San Diego and yet it helps make that drive almost bearable the once or twice a year I manage it (Oh yeah, and there’s SOME kind of…Theme park or something next door that’s pretty cool I guess…)😊😊
I’ll give them another try, as a fan of Krispy Crème they didn’t compare as highly taste wise. I need to try one of the more extravagant ones next.
I went during the "slow" season and there was ALWAYS a line going out the door!
It’s odd that I have been to CityWalk many times but haven’t visited most of these places.
We are going for our second visit it to Orlando in April, a 3 week trip.
We enjoy City Walk, is Disney Springs worth a visit?
Yeah some nice restaurants in Disney Springs 😁
The Frugal Queer does it again! Great video. City Walk is often overlooked, I love Marley's Tribute to Freedom.
Thanks for that, but I am wondering whether there might have been a typo there lol 😂
Yeah Bob Marley’s is a lot of fun 👍
Do you have to pay to enter the night life clubs
Where can I buy a Duff beer ?? Besides inside :(
Recommend bubba gump shrimp and hard rock restaurant
I love CityWalk. I've eaten at most places. The hot dogs at Hot Dog Hall of Fame are Nathan's Originals. The best value is the one foot dog that comes with any two toppings. There is a "mustard bar" with plenty of free and unique flavors of mustards! ---- Vivo is overrated. It's no better than a Macaroni Grill ---- I agree with most of the other reviews! The Frugal Brit videos are all great!! Thanks for your work!!
I HAD to stop by and grab one. The hot dogs are worth the trip. I say that Cowfish is worth a visit. It's just that the menu may be a bit too unusual for some people...
Where is a good place for a Brit to go to watch the UFC on Saturday?
I'm at Rosen Shingle Creek. Can go to International Drive, the parks, or somewhere close to the hotel?
Think Dave and Buster’s, Twin Peak’s, buffalo wild wings, and Miller’s will show it. Likely to be a fee though.
Let’s go Rocky! 🤜 🇯🇲 🇬🇧
@@TheFrugalBrit Thanks mate, super helpful! Rocky is going to shock the world, again 🙌
🤞 🤞
Curious, mate: How often do you go to Orlando? And is that with fam or alone?
Roughly 3 times a year, but only one time with the fam 👍
Is the universal park ticket includes the citywalk?Is it possible just go to the citywalk without the parks?
Yes, you can go to City Walk for free, no tickets required
You can indeed 👍😁
Margaritaville is definitely
NOT Caribbean food.
It’s American and fried everything food.
I was there friday and Saturday i had lunch at panda Express dinner at bubba gumps Saturday had fat Tuesdays again lunch at luies itilian restaurant at universal went to hhn friday and island of adventure
Tried Toothsome on our recent trip, we really enjoyed it, but Cowfish is still our favourite. Never got the chance to try Hard rock, as hurricane Ian reared it’s ugly head.
The Grove is Becoming Universal’s Great Movie Escape later this fall. It will be an escape room attraction with them being based off Back to the Future and Jurassic World.
Yeah I forgot to mention that, thanks for sharing 👍😁
I'm glad they're paying homage to JW. Unfortunately, Jurassic Park has split guests down the middle. Half are purists who get upset if they see influences from Jurassic World. The other half (including me!) enjoyed JW and don't mind seeing it being included in the parks. I say that Universal has the right to put the sequel into their theme parks, after all they own the franchise and JW was one of the biggest movies of the summer when it hit theaters. Every time I went, tickets were sold out.
Personally I think Disney Springs beats City Walk in almost every category. The only place I’ve personally loved in City Walk is Toothsome’s but the rest is too loud and poorly themed in my opinion. I like the subtle yet clever theming of Disney Springs which feels more cozy.
Yeah I think that’s fair to be honest. But I think citywalk deserves points for its convenience.
@@TheFrugalBrit that’s true, so many times have I been walking around Disney Springs getting more tired there than most days at the parks lol.
@@TheFrugalBrit I like the size, it's just right and is walkable. Disney Springs is overwhelming and feels like a chore to navigate through.
Do you need park tickets to go to City Walk if you are staying at a Universal Resort?
No tickets needed for citywalk whether staying on site or off site :)
Thank you
They should have free parking for City Walk before 6pm like Disney Springs does all day.
Do all restaurants need reservations?
No not all of them. The likes of toothsome, mythos, Cowfish and vivo will though. Depends what time you arrive.
Welcome to City Wok may I take your order please?
😂
Is it me or all the foods look realy cheap compare to disney and disney spring offers?
This an amsome vid
Thanks Declan 😁👍
We dont care about the specific food Quality…We care about what is at city walk
you calling me stupid ?
Thank you it helped
Maybe 😂
What Citywalk really is is Universal's attempt to separate you from even more of your money on your way into and out of the parks. But having said that, it's still pretty cool.
How is that any worse than Disney using Disney Springs to separate you from your money? I tried several of the dining options because they were cheaper than eating in the hotel and they were pretty good.
@@largol33t1 I wasn't saying it was worse, in fact, I didn't mention Disney at all. I also said Citywalk was pretty cool. But it is what it is, Universal makes guests, or most of them anyway, walk through Citywalk to get to the parks.
Really wish there was a fine dining option, american food is so unsophisticated, more ‘look how much we can pile on a plate’ or deep fry than flavour.
You sound like such a pretentious douche. Are you one in real life?
@@garouthetiktokinfluencerhu9731 aw sweetheart dont get upset. As for real life, ask your mother.
