Judy in Texas 150 Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 I have reservations for November and have had most of my questions answered at this website:http://forums.orlandoinformer.com/topic/175-cabana-bay-beach-resort-faqs-post-questions-here/Orlando Informer is a relatively new website. It is similar in format to Fort Fiends only it is primarily about Universal and is tightly moderated. Good information. No high jinx. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Judy in Texas 150 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 So not so much like FF. Well... one out of 2... There is a thread about the new Hot Dog Hall of Fame in Citywalk. One of the hot dogs is the one served by the Dodgers. Someone mentioned that Vin Sculley has signed on for his 60-something year of broadcasting with the Dodgers and a moderator popped on and reminded the posters to stay on topic. The moderators are very knowledgable and they are nice with their reminders; but, no cinnamon roll discussions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Ah well, you can't have everything. :rofl2: I am going to go check them out though. We've got UO on the docket for November and other than the initial Harry Potter hubbub, I haven't been doing a very good job of keeping up on news over there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'll be there 11/11/14 - 11/14/14. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 We're going to just miss you. We check in at the Fort 11/14. I'm still not sure yet which days we're going to head over to UO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 That week is listed on their calendar as "slow". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Discamper 394 Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 A friend just got back from Universal and stayed at that hotel. I was looking at the pics and it looks like Universal sent someone over to any of the POP hotels to take pics. Universal copied the same look and design as the POP Hotels Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DinDavie 37 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 I stayed there for 3 nights and liked it. Got a good deal as it was not fully opened yet. The pool was beautiful but only 3.5 feet deep. Apparently it was designed by lawyers. The buildings were named after old Miami Beach Hotels like the Castaways. It has a very 50-60's design. it was very attractive without all the gawdy cartoon drawings found in the POP resorts. It will eventually have a lazy river and may have it already. The rooms were surprisingly quiet. I liked the bar by the pool and spent quality time there. There is a large gym but did not use it. There was also an outdoor firepit with sofas around it and a playground. If there was anything like live entertainment or character encounters I did not witness them. The rooms were well equiped but i stayed in a suite so it may be larger than a regular room. It slept 5 comfortably. The restaurant was a big dining hall with individual food stations where you got your food, put it on a try, paid the cashier and found your way to a vacant table like a cafeteria. There were no other dining options when I was there. It was an attractive and comfortable hotel but I would not go back at their current summer rates. I still like the Fort best.
