Thanks for sharing! I would be so happy if it’s true - our first UOR trip is the first week of July (and it’s ALL about HP). Fingers crossed, and my sympathies to those with an earlier trip.

Wow! I knew there was going to be scaffolding, but it’s completely covered. Ouch!

Hopefully that’s 2026! :rofl: :shark:

This is a MAJOR upgrade!

5 Guys is already pricey! I can only imagine how expensive it will be at CityWalk! :rofl::rofl:

I wonder if the Panda Express is going to stick around. It’s always the saddest looking version of bad Chinese take-out

I know, but it’s an upgrade. The BK Bar had terrible reviews.

Hey, the teens love that crap. :rofl:

I’ll definitely go to 5 Guys. We have them locally, but not convienent to me. It’s a place that my carnivore of a wife will be grateful for on her next visit!

I like Panda Express on a random Thursday but it has no business being in CityWalk.

I’ll happily eat it at a mall or drive-thru. However, the CityWalk location food always looks like it was made a week ago! :rofl: :shark:

Here is a hack for anyone that wants to eat there. My son worked at Panda Express in college. He said that they prioritizes mobile orders. If there is a line at the CitiWalk location and anyone wants to eat there, place a mobile order through their app. You will get your food much quicker
