The Universal Studios Florida located in sunny Orlando is a paradise for walkers like me besides for foodies, and photography enthusiasts.
There were plenty of shops of all size and shapes, so it was an ideal place for a storefront photo walk which I did in June 2023.
Most food joints and stores were richly decorated to attract customers of all ages.
Several places had both outdoor and indoor seatings like this Starbucks.
Some stores had a lavish landscaping by way of a waterbody, like this Hard Rock Cafe,
So, it was a unique experience for the customers to have food while enjoying the views of the tour boats sailing by…
Here’s the closeup view of the famous Hard Rock Cafe that has railings and also an accessible entrance.
Some storefronts like Grill Brew had huge LED displays that was a great eye candy to attract visitors.
Island Adeventure Trading Company had a nice medieval look with a clock tower as the storefront.
Voo Doo Donuts had attractive large sized donuts on the storefronts tempting customers into their shop.
Margarita Ville had a landscape and large multicolored parrot on the storefront.
Bigfire had both ramps and staircase with railings as its prominent accessibility features.
There were also some permanent food vans places nicely on platforms though they were still accessible due to its openness.
Another wide-open storefront was the Coca Cola stall with a look and its rich signature red-colored decoration.
Antojitos Mexican Food had an overdone storefront with a riot of colors blending into each other like a gradient.
Great Movie Escape had ceiling fans for the outdoors also to beat the heat of sunny Orlando.
The storefront of Dining Dancing Cocktails says it all 
The Fat Tuesday Storefront is a cool Flamingo on violet background, and I think they sold stuff for fat reduction.
I noted that almost all stores were accessible in one or the other way.
Though it was a very discouraging experience to visit the Universal Studios if you are a solo traveler on budget since reaching there is costly, and the tickets are exorbitant not counting the food joints and cafes that charge at a premium for most regular and basic items.
In spite of this the public or free area and the views of the landscapes within the Universal Studios in Orlando makes it an experience of a lifetime.
Accessibility Features
Most places starting from the parking to the ticketing counters are accessible.
Various exhibits in the public areas and most shops and cafes were accessible.
