Orlando Margaritaville - need a ticket to Universal?

bamachem · Post by **bamachem** » September 18, 2008 9:42 pm

We're going to Disney the second weekend in Nov and we're planning a stop one evening at Jimmy's dive and I'm thinking that a ticket to Universal won't be required for dining, but I just want to make sure...

So, is it?

THANKS!

I would try to have a drink at each bar there: the Lone Palm outside, the 2 bars on the first floor (play the ring game) and then the 12 Volt Bar upstairs! We always enjoy the Volcano Nachos too (with a Lone Palm Ale or 4)

nope.... no ticket required

And in the evening, parking at the Universal lots and garages is free (at least the last time we went).

YUP!!! after 6 or 7pm. If you check John Frinzi's website you may be able to catch him out on the Porch of Indicision...he plays during the week usually from 5-9pm! Zman would be able to tell you the exact time free parking starts.

dont need a ticket to get into City Walk, just need to pay for parking.

Make sure to have a drink at Bob Marleys too....... depending on the night of the week they do have some incredible reggae bands playing there too!!

I recommend a drink at the Lone Palm Bar outside of the restaurant where you can sit under the actual Hemisphere Dancer. Then if its open head upstairs in the restaurant to the 12 Volt Bar! Bob Marley's is cool and Pat O'Briens too!

No need to pay park admission to go to Margaritaville.

Parking is $12 until 6PM, free after 6 except for special events.

Holloween Horror Nights are special events, and parking will be charged evenings of September 26-27; October 2-5, 9-12, 16-19, 22-26, 29-31 and
November 1, 2008

As Christine said; if you time your visit right, you can hear John Frinzi from 5-9PM on the Porch of Indecision at Margaritaville.
His November scheduled shows are Nov 5, 6, 12, 13, 17, 19 and 23rd.

Is this something like the Universal City Walk in LA? Will be in Mouse-ando in February, but haven't been to Universal in 7-8 years and then only for a closed-park private event evening. (All I remember being there was a Hard Rock outside the park gates.) The LA City Walk includes stores, cinemas, eateries, etc. but only bars have been mentioned here, is this similar?

Sounds similar...there's a movie theater, stores, and a bunch of restaurants/bars (Emeril's, M'Ville, Bob Marley's, Pat O'Briens, and others).

If you go to Universal on Tuesday night, it is Two for One drinks at Pat O'Briens. Try the Hurricanes!!!!!

Here is the Parking info for Universal and click the other links for plenty of other info:

Pat O's is nice for dinner too after some starter drinks at MVille. Best thing bout Pat O's is that it looks and feels just like Nawlins' without the urine smell.

Only reason I throw that out there is because if you get there later in the afternoon the line is usually long for dinner. But of course you can always get a drink and stretch out in the adirondack chairs while you wait.
Yes, free parking at night. Otherwise no one would go to the movies there.

I'll be in Orlando next week for a wedding and I can't wait for the nice weather...it's too early for snow up here

. I'll have to do the bar crawl in Margaritaville and have a drink at each bar.

Ah yes, and I see youre a Simpsons fan. I did the new Simpsons ride at Universal a few weeks ago, if youre a fan youve got to do it. Just sad it took them so long to get rid of the Back to the Future ride and get this in.
Spend the extra cash and get the express passes...trust me on this one!
