Lining up for a table at CityWalk
The family is here and we are looking for dinner. I could go for som Floribbean cuisine. How about you?
Is it me, or did the Bubba Gump Shrimp used to be cuter?
I honk they changed the costume – he’s looking chunky
Beautiful day in Orlando
Good Morning! Taken around 8:00 am today while passing through CityWalk on my way to classes at the Loews Royal Pacific Resort. Weather coolish and breezy. Glad the humidity broke because that might mean running outside later this afternoon.
How I solved the parking problem Loews Royal Pacific
I am attending a techie conference at Loews Royal Pacific but staying off-site. The first day, I had to practically sever a limb to liberate my car from the Royal Pacific parking lot. It occurred to me afterward that what I should do is use my Universal Orlando annual pass to park for free at Universa,l and then walk into the Royal Pacific from CityWalk. So that’s what I’ve been doing. Hey, even if I had to pay to park at Universal, it would still be less than parking at the Royal Pacific. Plus, I get to see how great CityWalk looks in the early morning when there’s hardly anyone around yet :). If you look closely at the left of the tower, you’ll see the waning moon.
Chilin’ on CityWalk
After my run through the Royal Pacific, the skies turned threatening. I went to Pastamore to grab a light dinner, watched It rain and Shazam’d some tunes while I dined at a table just inside the doorway. Felt good to cool off – had it been overcast, I would not have enjoyed that run in the humidity at all! Glad to have had the opportunity to run through a pretty place.
Invaders From Planet Putt at Universal CityWalk
It’s been fun watching the progress of this place as it has been built. I think it came out good and it looks like a lot of fun.
Standing on CityWalk
Slash is playing here tonight, so it was a bit busy on my way in. Had a tuna salad at Pastamore. Going to walk around a bit before heading back to the hotel.
Time to go :(
I had a GREAT week so I don’t really mean the sad face. I got to hang out with beloved friends and family, eat fabulous food (mostly, ahem veggie pancake), and have oodles of fun.I am blessed. I’ll be back 🙂
Nutritional sins committed here

Dinner on CityWalk
Guess where we are having dinner? We decided we need to color…
Park hopping at Universal Orlando
We want to do something at the Studios before we head back to Southwest Florida. I thik it will be The Mummy – single riders line, of course!
Breakfast view at City Walk
We’re dining on total crap food at Starbucks but it’s totall awesome 🙂
My reward, from Fossil at Universal Orlando
So this is the reward I spoke of, for getting the new job. The new work laptop fits 🙂 And it was the last one in the store of its kind. The universe has spoken 😉
Heading out of Universal Orlando
We are too full of dinner and really tired!

Hard Rock Hurricane!
We were seated within 15 minutes, and I’ve got a glass of Hard Rockage. Great tunes blasting, shrimp fajitas on the way and the company of the Nieceling. What’s better than this?
Rats. No Margaritaville tonight.
Special event – bummer! Headed to Hard Rock….
Reward time
I told myself the next time I came here, I would have a new job. And I do. So now I get a purse. That’s how it works:)
CityWalk FTW :)
Heading to the CityWalk bag check
Gotta find our fellow adventurers…
Someone remind us where we parked, ok?

Sunset on CityWalk
Rolling Stones "Brown Sugar" is on the Big Screen and the throngs are heading out of Universal. I wonder if Tuesday nights are quiet here?

Yes, I’m still watching videos on CityWalk
Some of my intrepid readers know, but an equal or greater number do not know that my first college degree was in music performance and that I have a HUGE passion for pop music. Love discovering new acts and I keep fairly close tabs on the indie scene. So sitting here on CityWalk with a drink in my hand and a steady stream of tunes is actually my idea of fun 🙂

My dinner, from Pastamore on CityWalk
Tuscan ham sandwich and "Roman Tea" – twist on the infamous Long Island Iced Tea. I think it’s gonna kick my butt….. Tunes and videos blasting from the big screen with music acts that are definitely kicking butt! I am in a certain kind of heaven here. Yeah. 🙂
Sent from my Nokia N97
This would be a good place to sit and listen to tunes
There’s a big screen blaring videos across the way and lots of tables. Right now there are a bunch of business people doing a spontaneous hokey pokey nearby trying to compete on the decibel level… Yeah, this place is probably a bit wild at night!

Marley and Me
There are so many restaurants and clubs here that I’ve never been to – probably because many of them are "21 and over" and I’ve usually been here with a kid or two!

George was curious… So he got Homer to explain a few things =8^0

Longa Walka City
OMG I smell orange blossoms – so strong, so heady and sweet. My friend Patt lives up this way and she’s been talking about this scent for a couple of weeks now. I might slow down my walk just to enjoy it longer!

Two things I like about CityWalk…
One, they play bitchen music – The Academy is rockin’ on the big screen right now.
Two – they have a Starbucks 🙂
