red coconut night club in Orlando

The Red Coconut Club, located in Universal’s CityWalk, is a dance club that really knows how to get the exotic vibe flowing. Retro furnishings take you back to a sixties-looking disco inspired by the Cuban culture, while bands playing tunes make Baby Boomers feel comfortable.

They play the latest hits and everyone seems to have fun on the dance floor. Live entertainment and a tropical vibe make this one of the best clubs in Orlando.

The Red Coconut Club makes you feel special; once you get in here, you are treated like a royalty. Inside you will find unusually shaped seats, a colorful clubby decor, top notch sound system and bartenders at the three separate bar areas that are really good when it comes about mixing drinks.

Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant at Universal Studios

Based on the movie, “Forrest Gump,” Bubba Gump Shrimp captures the charm and American spirit that made this movie so popular. The entire chain, including the Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant in Orlando, Florida are all decorated with videos of Forrest Gump movies playing, pictures of Forrest Gump characters and popular quotes from the movie.

There is always something fun going on for the kids and the host station out front is the bomb! Bubba Gump Shrimp is truly unique. It even features a “stop Forrest stop” and “Run Forrest run” license plate to draw the attention of your server.

However, the waiters are all very friendly, and they make sure you have a great time while you’re there. The atmosphere is indescribable… you simple have to see it to believe it.

Universal Studios the Simpsons ride review

The Simpsons ride at Universal Studios is one of the most popular rides there. Here’s a quick The Simpsons ride review at Universal Studios so you can decide if it’s a ride you want to go on.

This six-minute ride is based on the popular television series, The Simpsons. To enjoy this zany ride, you’ll have to walk through a giant Krusty the Clown’s mouth to get to the circus pavilion and Krustyland, a cheap theme park created by the clown. After seeing some “live footage” of the Simpson family on an outing at Krustyland, guests are taken to the ride.

Shortly after entering the ride vehicle, Sideshow Bob, recently escaped from prison, takes over the park and the car goes on a wild ride complete with crashes, thrilling drops, broken tracks, all sorts of special effects, and huge versions of the Simpson characters.

February 1, 2011 by

Island of adventure market and export candy shop

Every type of M&M’s you could want!

When you first go into Islands of Adventure theme park at Universal Studios, you walk through a row of shops called the Port of Entry shops. They are on both the left and right side. If your big on candy, make sure you check out the Island market and export candy shoppe!

It’s located on your right as your walking into the theme park, stuck between DeFoto’s Expedition Photography shop and the colorful Port of Entry Christmas Shoppe.

It’s a bit small, serving as a small break between the two connected shops. But the Island market and export candy shoppe is packed with many different kinds of candy that goes all the way up the walls!

Spiderman ride at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure review

Spiderman ride at Universal Studios

I’ve been on the spiderman ride at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure about,,,,oh,,,a few hundred times maybe. So I think I’m qualified to give you an honest review about it!

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is one of the main ride attractions in Islands of Adventure at Universal Studios. This popular theme park ride makes you feel like you are right in the action and completely involved in what is going on.

The queue line of the spiderman ride takes you through a replica of the newspaper office Peter Parker works at. At one point you enter a big room where they show a video of what is suppose to be happening in the city. Then you finally get to the ride station.

How did you like Universal’s CityWalk New Years Eve party?

January 6, 2011 by

Citywalk new years eve party!

Now that new years eve is over, I just have to ask something. I made an article a few months ago about Universal Studios CityWalk New Years Eve party. I got a ton of traffic and comments about it.

So much so, that I REALLY want to know how the people that went liked it! No I did not go, those types of crowded parties are just not my thing. But I heard it was a great success.

So if you went to the CityWalk New Years Eve party, leave a comment here and let me know how it went. Was it great? Was it only so-so, or did it really turn you off and you will not be going this year?
