BANADA RAVE!! Oh my goodness, I was absolutely ecstatic for this concert. It was beautifully…read morecentered around the Mexican culture with high energy, lots of dancing, lasers and fun. Entry was quick and easy, it was nice too have fun around beautiful high energetic people. I truly can't wait for the next one :)

I really like UFC so I bought my ticket for this event. I found the location a bit run down and…read morevery limited seating. I had to grab a seat really quick for my mom because she cannot stand for too long. The fight was entertaining but I was limited on the what I can see at times. Some people were standing on the seats in front of the fighting area which caused most of us obstruct our viewing of the fight. The security was not telling people to sit down. This felt to me like an underground fighting place. The parking is nearby in a garage for $10 all night.

We visited Exploration Tower twice. Last year we went to the observation Deck. It was free…read moreadmission. We saw the views all around and they had tons of information all over for you to read about everything. The views are amazing here's since this is also where the port is. This last time we went on July 2. We came for the fireworks. It was very spacious, and nice to see the glow of the observation tower at night. Great stop to see. Currently, the tower is not open according to their website. It is closed for projects. Glad we got to go in the tower when we did. During the fireworks, they had a VIP ticket up there for $35 yikes.

I really wanted to see the Nasa launch pads so I figured I would check this place out. I visited…read moreright when they opened on a Saturday morning, so there weren't many other people around. I headed up to the observation deck on the 7th floor and had a great view of the entire area. It was really awesome to have such a great view. The grounds are really beautiful, and it is very serene. I was on a time crunch so I wasn't able to stay long but I will definitely come back to visit again.

After a long day at Islands of Adventure, we were looking for a sit-down and…read morereservations-not-required restaurant where two near-vegetarians (one a picky 12yo) and a meat lover could eat. Bob Marley A Tribute to Freedom met all these requirements and blew our expectations out of the water. Yes, it was a splurge, but it was some of the best food we have had. And, we had great music accompanying our meal. I ordered the Natty Dread Vegetable Pasties with yucca fries and sweet bread. The filling was delicious, but it was the pastry dough that knocked my socks off. My husband agreed! I also split an Island Mai Tai with my husband--a real, classic mai tai,l with orgeat--and it was perhaps the best we'd ever had. (It was $18, though, for maybe 8 ounces, including ice and fruit--yikes!) The spouse had the jerk chicken with rice and pidgeon peas and some sweet plantains. (I traded some of my sweet bread for some of those sweet plantains--yum!) He said it was the best food he had while in Orlando. Our 12yo got a vegetable stew (Itel Soup) with root vegetables, cassava dumplings, black beans, and plantains. She thought it was fine originally, asked for salt, and then really liked it. The husband got the 12yo's leftovers, and he thought it was great, too (but agreed that in needed salt and pepper). Nonetheless, she liked it, and we all found something on the menu we could enjoy. Finally, the server was amazing. He was so great managing our tired, grumpy 12yo (and her tired, grumpy parents). He was able to coax her into choosing a dish and eating it, too, which I don't know if we would have succeeded in doing without him. He also pointed our the many non-alcoholic beverage options, so she was able to have her own tasty drink, a Jamaican Cream Soda. There were *several* vegetarian dishes on the menu that looked fantastic and I would love to have a chance to try. I hope we can make it to Orlando again sometime to try those other dishes!

In Orlando to visit family and also enjoy a couple of Theme parks. Came to City Walk to try this…read morerestaurant. The menu read great and we were excited to try this place since we love Jamaican Food. Was not easy to make a reservation - had to call Universal main line and choose from options. However, once we got a person, the reservation process was easy and pleasant. We informed the person taking the reservation that this was our first time visiting the restaurant so we expected a nice table - I assume they want repeat business. But instead we were seated right in front of the live band and it was so loud, we couldn't talk at all. The funny thing was that the restaurant was barely half full! Our waiter also had a tough time hearing us so we had to corret our orders a couple of times. They ran out of beef patties:-( that day. We decide to order some appetizers and a couple of entrees and shared. We had the Buffalo Soldier Jerk Wings - Had a nice spice to it and was quite delicious. We also hd the Jerk Caulifolower bites - a little sweet and spicy sauce and we all agreed this was the best dish we had! We had the Curried Goat stew - a weak curry and did not really have any spice to it. The Reggae Jamaican Jerk Chicken had a sweet spice and sticky sauce - next best dish we had. We also ordered the Coco bread- which was disappointing andd I do not recommend. It was just bread with some butter in it and definitely overpriced for what you got! Cocktails were rather weak. Server was just OK. He wasn't very attentive and did nothing to make our visit great.
