How authentic is it? anything in Miami you can compare it to?
Probably Rocco's Tacos.

Nothing to do with the expansion, but wanted to share this gem
Probably Rocco's Tacos.
Parking will be free at the Disney Springs garage as well. It's a great point considering the main focus here seems to be around restaurants. They better hope APs and tourists are buying into this strategy because if i'm just a regular joe, I don't want to spend $16 just so I can get in the gate to eat (and spend more money) when I can park free at other places.Also, King Bob raises an interesting point that I didn't realize--parking at the Orlando Eye garage will be free. Potentially raising problems for CityWalk and Pointe Orlando.
This is a really strong comparison, even among Orlando restaurants. Closest "vibe."

Missed this with St Patrick's festivities, but Save Pleasure Island had some pretty significant rumors re: CityWalk: http://savepleasureisland.blogspot.com/2014/03/breaking-news-groove-closing-total.html
tl;dr version:
Groove closing in April, to be remodeled. Unclear if it will stay a club or become another restaurant.
Online hype aside, Antojitos not doing so great, reintroducing Latin Night (like at Latin Quarter) to make $$.

You didn't mention the complete refurb and rebranding of Citywalk that they briefly wrote about.
Methinks what's already announced is just the halfway point. Nascar, NBA City, and getting around to refreshing the outdated logo, and then some.... There's work to be done.
It's great to see all the photo's you guys have been getting the past few weeks. I kind of missed having many photos on the site for a while. It sure livens things up.
My wife and my daughter got some ice cream from Cold Stone before we left (I wasn't in the mood). Anyway, I was surprised there was no tip jar (as that is what typically gets the staff to sing from what I recall of a local one I've been to). So I tried to leave a tip and I was told they could not except it. I then asked if this was a Sing-less Cold Stone...I was told it was not and the staff broke into song...
