Yes!! This is it...looks amazing!! I will go just for that lolI think I know which dish you mean, it`s the Camarones from Strong Water Bar....yes, lemon buttery sauce with beautiful toasted bread....it`s a gorgeous dish and the shrimp are always huge!!!
We are open to lots of different kinds of food, my mom's real concern is not having to walk far or a lot of steps from the parking...so ideally I think we want something either at a hotel that isn't huge and offers close parking or an easy to drop off place...or one of those little strip malls where you can park right out front of the restaurant...you know the type that's pretty common in FL lol...But let us know what type of food you`re looking for. Yes, recommendations most welcome......
Ah, the 21st, my son's 11th birthday AND the night we flew out of NY to Florida. So he had the worst birthday ever even though we got him a cell phone and he got to see his grandparents. You of course had a MUCH different day than we did!

We will be staying at Vista Cay - which looks to be right off Universal Blvd (too bad we'll be mostly driving back and forth to Disney parks lol...) but on some non park days we'll want to do dinner closer to "home" if you can think of anything there lol...quick service is ok too but my mom would probably want somewhere we can make a reservation so we don't have to wait....But also...if we can't find anything that fits the bill then we'll often do takeout or UberEats to wherever we are staying...
BTW LOVE California Pizza kitchen....that's always an idea lol...but I worry about mall parking and too much walking....
Beware rogue pizzas lol. That had to be something to see
Lovely pics in this update. The tree in the mall
Might be the largest I’ve seen in one
Thanks so much for the recos!! I will definitely look into these!!!Universal Blvd has some nice little places we enjoy. Beth`s Burgers, NYPD Pizza and a little place called The Diner are all close to Vista Cay, a few minutes drive away and they are all lovely. The Diner only opens till maybe mid afternoon???? It`s definitely not open at night, but it`s very good.
This is so true. It used to seem weird to "meet" people online and then meet them in person. But now I feel like it's a lot more common and I'm glad. I have made quite a few good friends that way and I do feel like you get to know people online first and then it always feels so comfortable when you meet them IRL.It really is lovely meeting up with folks at Universal that we have met through the Dis, whether it`s just a quick hello and a wave, or being able to sit and chat for a while or the ones who have become lifelong friends, we have been very lucky to meet some genuinely lovely people over the many years we`ve stayed here or at Sapphire.

My husband always gets the Buffalos and Bacon there, it really is quite good.
That is hilarious that Kyle's cake radar was going off!!
Love the pictures of Citywalk at night. It's so beautiful. Makes me wish I was there right now!
Winter has finally arrived here. It's - 41 today!!
The guy who acted as minister at our wedding was someone I had known/corresponded with online for years but never met in person. Everyone was convinced he would be an axe murderer and that this was an insane idea but he was perfectly nice and is still a good friend. He and my husband got along like gangbusters and we attended HIS wedding together a few years later.I remember when I first told some of my real life friends way back in 2007/08 we were meeting folks from the internet, they were horrified....my mother even more so......lol......
I completely agree you get an idea of how folks will be from their online persona ...good and bad but yes, most meets have been wonderful thankfully.
When I told my adult son and daughter about meeting up with you guys, they got into "protective mode" and questioned it. But I talked them down and told them I thought you were perfectly normal, LOL.I remember when I first told some of my real life friends way back in 2007/08 we were meeting folks from the internet, they were horrified....my mother even more so......lol......

I had to lie a little, but it worked
