The Universal Orlando Resort is one of the most unique vacation destinations in Orlando for daytime fun during your Orlando vacation, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are both worth a visit. And when it comes time to buy your theme park tickets, DWTickets.com is your one-stop-shop for discount Universal tickets.

After you get your cheap tickets at DWTickets.com and spend the day frolicking in one of the theme parks at the Universal Orlando Resort, you don’t have to go home! Just walk over the bridge to Universal CityWalk and a whole new playground opens up before your eyes. This full service entertainment complex has treats for every taste: fine dining, live music, themed restaurants and bars and specialty shops you won’t find anyplace else in Orlando.

The bars and clubs are great…if you’re 21 or older. But when you’re here with the family and still want to enjoy the night life, you will not be lost at CityWalk. In fact, some of the most popular bars are open to all ages and great meals are part of their entertainment package.

Modeled after the original, CityWalk’s version of Pat O’Briens is an “authentic reproduction” of its sister bar in New Orleans. You will know you’re on vacation as you suck down your famous “Hurricane” cocktail and cheer on your favorite dueling piano player. If you’re lucky, you might even get to hobnob with the bigwigs on the 4,000 square-foot Patio where you can bask in the ambience of the famous “Flaming Fountain.”

Every Orlando vacation should be laid back, and no place embodies that spirit more than Jimmy Buffet’s® Margaritaville®, where masterpieces by Florida’s favorite son come to life in every nook and cranny. From its three bars – The Volcano Bar, Land Shark Bar and 12-Volt Bar – to the themed food and drinks – A Cheeseburger in Paradise, and of course, a variety of Margarita choices – to the nightly live music – you will get into the “Margaritaville State of Mind” in no time.

CityWalk is a party paradise for all ages, and the fun food and luscious libations are sure to spice up your Orlando vacation. Before you head out to party and play, though, make sure your first stop is at DWTickets.com. We are the best place in town for all of your discount ticket needs.
