Universal Orlando's CityWalk - July 2013 Update

Many rumors across the web claim that Universal Orlando's CityWalk may soon receive some additions. One of these rumors was posted a few days ago on the very popular Screamscape news website. Here it is:

"Interesting changes are on the way to Citywalk at Universal Orlando over the next 6-8 months that will change the dining options a bit. I'm told that the Endangered Species Store is expected to close in the near future, and Starbuck and Ben & Jerry’s will move in to take over the lower level space. Pastamore is expected to possibly move down into this area as well. Meanwhile the Latin Quarter is expected to undergo a change into a more Mexican format and there is talk of the Galaxy Bar reopening as some kind of high end snack bar featuring fancy hot dog creations."

That's a lot of changes, right? We will see when work on these projects will start. In the meantime, let us take a look around to check on the current status of Universal Orlando's CityWalk:
