Hard Rock Café – The largest Hard Rock in the world with genuine pieces of the Berlin Wall behind it.

Planet Hollywood – This classic burger restaurant never disappoints. The Boathouse – We had our wedding meal here after getting married nearby. T-Rex – This dino-themed eatery is always a huge hit with kids! However, the only ‘restaurant’ you’ll see in both locations is Starbucks.Īs such if you’re wanting to dine somewhere specific it’s worth noting what’s available at each location Notable Restaurants At Disney Springs This includes 24 table service restaurants and 38 quick service options in contrast to CityWalk’s 9 table service restaurants and 7 quick service options. Given that Disney Springs is significantly larger than Universal’s CityWalk it should come as no surprise that there are significantly more restaurants to choose from here. More information on this is available here. The exception to this is if you’re arriving at the parking lot after 6pm or purchasing two or more Universal Cinemark matinee tickets. Since CityWalk is attached to Universal Studios Orlando Resort, those visiting CityWalk are charged the same amount for parking a vehicle as those visiting the parks for the day. However, while parking at Disney Springs is free, the same can not be said for Universal’s CityWalk. This means you do not need a ticket to Walt Disney World to go to Disney Springs nor do you need a ticket for Universal Studios Orlando to go to CityWalk. Entrance Costīoth CityWalk at Universal Orlando and Disney Springs at Walt Disney World are completely free to enter for guests. Of course, depending on what you’re looking for, CityWalk may be a better option which is why I’ve gone ahead and broken each area down based on a number of key factors. Parking here is also free, unlike CityWalk where you’ll be charged $27 unless you’re arriving after 6pm or have two tickets for the cinema. In that case, we’d recommend Disney Springs as it is significantly larger with more restaurants, stores and entertainment options to choose from. However, if you have a limited amount of time you’ll likely have to choose between the two. Both Universal Orlando’s CityWalk and Disney Springs at Walt Disney World are worth visiting on an evening after a day at the associated parks.
