Closest CVS or Walgreens to Universal? Can't tell on map which are closest/easiest to get to

[jaceraden]

I think the title says it all.

I'm looking for the closest location for each, please and thank you. I would also consider which are the easiest to get to since I know sometimes proximity does not mean they are the fastest to get to in real time. As someone who rarely drives in the US, roads with long spaces to exits is a new and often confusing concept.

TIA!

Walgreens is right outside the resort, on Universal Blvd, the CVS I went to was about 6 or minutes away, on Conroy Rd. If you go to that CVS, there also a chic fil a near it, where I usually get something to eat.

To add to Lynne's answer, the Walgreen's looks to be close to Universal's Endless Summer resort, so taking the bus to Endless Summer from City Walk and walking across the street would be an option.

We actually walked from HRH to PBH and from there to Walgreens. I believe it was on Universal Blvd.

There`s a Walgreens on Kirkman opposite PBH. Just along from The Ale House and Kobe. We noticed a lot more homeless folks outside this one last trip, but, they weren`t anything to be worried about.

The one opposite Endless Summer georgina mentioned is larger and carries slightly more stock.

Just a little note, we found out this past weekend the Walgreens by Endless Resort does not have a pharmacy. I didn't know that was possible. I needed some Allegra D, which has to be bought in the pharmacy.

We went to the Kirkman one for our tests (from Royal Pacific). No Universal morning entry traffic to fight as you're around the backside of the resort, easy 10 minute drive.

Thank you everyone! There's some good info here for sure!

Pardon my ignorance because I'm not a US citizen but isn't Walgreen's a pharmacy? I don't understand how there would be no pharmacy in a pharmacy? To me that seems like there being a McDonald's with no food.

In most Walgreens there's a counter you go to where's there's a pharmacist. It's where you get prescriptions and meds you can only get behind the counter. There's medications you can get from a pharmacy that isn't a prescription but you need to show an ID to receive. For example, I take an allergy med that I must show ID and I'm only allowed to buy so much during a certain period of time. Until I visited this specific Walgreens, I thought all of them had a pharmacy, I was quite surprised.

I thought that was really weird, so I looked at the website and it says 'The pharmacy at this location is currently closed'. Glad Lori74 pointed this out!

So if you are at Portofino Bay if you walk through the north back parking lot that puts you right on Vineland and then it's a 5-7 minute walk to the Vineland/Kirkland Walmart.

Probably because it doesn't have a drive through pharmacy
