So, can anyone out there confirm what I’m hearing about AMC leaving the UOR Citywalk Cineplex?

It's a draw to get locals to come to CityWalk on date night for dinner and a movie. The tourist use it mostly when it's too rainy and/or cold for the parks.I still don't get the appeal of a cinema in CityWalk.
Can you elaborate on this? I've never been inside it. What aspects of it make it feel so noticeably dated?It was the first theater to sell alcohol in the area besides Pointe Orlando, and that was it's only real selling point for a few years. Now, it's a great place to see a movie - if you want to feel like you're seeing a movie in 1999.
It still had box TVs at the concession stand last I checked, which was about a year or two ago.Can you elaborate on this? I've never been inside it. What aspects of it make it feel so noticeably dated?

If AMC isn’t going to refurb it, good riddance. Would love to see Uni really go outside the box and bring in a company like Alamo Drafthouse for their theater
What's the appeal of a cinema at any mall? I go here with my buddies for pretty much every big premier and there's always huge lines and sold out theaters. The Universal AMC and Disney Springs AMC are two of the most profitable in the company.I still don't get the appeal of a cinema in CityWalk.
Well, Univesal did get LieMAX and DS has a Dolby Cinema option. But, yeah, they are more like a good mall Cineplex than a premium theater experience.What's the appeal of a cinema at any mall?

It's unfortunate that AMC refuses to give the Universal or DS theaters refurbishments to bring them up to snuff with the 2018 movie-going experience.
The Universal theaters are the last I know of to offer reserved advance seating (except for LieMAX), the seats are uncomfortable, and I am not sure why the even have an upstairs concession stand (I have never seen it open since day one).Well, Univesal did get LieMAX and DS has a Dolby Cinema option.

My line of thought is that anybody can go to the cinema in any town at any time. Why would you want to do something on your vacation that you can do so easily at home?
Not to mention locals, rainy days on vacation, etcI believe it is right up there with game rooms, miniature golf and all the other offerings at resorts. It’s just something to do when you are tuckered out from the theme parks. Especially for families with tweens and teens.
