    Cabana Bay poolside bar cups - reuse on next trip for discount?

    If they use the same ones at the time of your next trip, I don't see why not. How would they know when you bought them? We had the blue ones that they used at first and no longer use, so no reuse on those.

    Returned from quick trip -some notes

    I wanted to have the blueberry cake one, but they were out, so I got Tangtastic instead. I liked it. The other one I ate was the Apple Fritter....it was huge and really good. DD and DH each had the Portland Creme and really liked them. I think DD also had the Chuckles....she said the...

    Rehoming a dog

    The dog was paid for once. I don't see a need for a payment now. Finishing the fence would be the extent of my offer to take the dog.

    The pool is open from 8-11. I believe they guard the river that entire time.

    Back from Aug 4th through 11th Trip

    Thanks for your report. Sounds like you had a good time overall. We were frustrated this week when we were in line for Minions first thing (supposed to be a 20 minute wait, reg line) but they kept letting EP people in without letting them form any type of line and it ended up taking us more...

    US Early Entry and IOA Monday the 13th Report

    Monday was our second day at the park of three days this week. We felt Sunday was much less crowded. We may have been eating at the Three Broomsticks when you were...but we did sit outside. We loved that we could actually do most things that we hadn't on Sunday without much waiting...

    What has been your most memorable experience in a car?

    Driving back to NC after our first Disney trip in a tropical storm that was moving up the coast about the same pace as us....and the kids both throwing up in the back seat from a bug they caught. Pretty awful day. My Dad driving our Winnebago on the skinny winding mountain roads in NC. It...

    Returned from quick trip -some notes

    It was a very good trip. The Drury Inn was really quite good. I wish the decor was more appealing, but the room was comfortable, the people nice, and the location, outstanding.

    Is it possible to get around Universal/IOA without using lockers?

    We did not use a locker this trip. But we also skipped Hulk and RRR and the water rides. We wore Passporter Board lanyards that could hold our iPhones and cards and money. We could wear them on rides like any other lanyard.

    Crowds at USO/IOA?

    The crowds are large but not huge. We just spend Sun, Mon and Tues in the parks. Sunday was the least crowded. There are a ton of folks from overseas (mainly British) visiting right now. We were able to do the parks fairly easily without long waits by doing the popular things first or last and...

    Just returned...have to ask about Fast and Furious

    We had a really hard time getting Virtual tickets for it this week. We finally got to ride it but went in with low expectations and luckily didn't wait very long. We thought once was enough. Truthfully, we had only seem a couple movie clips for the franchise and hadn't really had much interest...

    Returned from quick trip -some notes

    My DD (23) and I just visited Universal from Aug 12-14. We stayed at Cabana Bay from the 11-14th and moved to Drury Inn for our last night (14th). Our arrival on the 11th was by car at 11:30 at night. Several people checking in at that hour. Our pool view room was in Americana 5320. It...

    Silly question

    Yes, I just talked to a person there yesterday. We had wanted to extend our trip by a day and there are no rooms available, so instead we'll spend our last night offsite and keep our luggage at the resort bell services and keep our car parked there (that's why I called...wasn't sure if we could...

    4 Days and counting- a few last minute ??

    We bring our own pool floats and have them blow them up for us. One year we flew so we just left them behind at the pool on our last day (tried to give them away to people first with no luck). Unless you see a lanyard you love at CBBR, I would wait to buy in the park where there is a bigger...

    Just got back

    My DD and I have done this a few times. It's really fun. We're doing a trip this coming weekend.

    Which park do you spend most time at?

    We hop back and forth a lot too. Universal Studios gets more of our time though.

    Fast and Furious question

    Thanks for the replies. We'll do it and won't watch the movies first. I've never had interest in them but I do try to do every new ride. It's totally disappointing to hear the ride is not good. I really really liked Disaster! and to have it taken out for this is so sad.

    Another Great Trip To Report YAY!!!! June-July 2018

    Thanks for your report. I think I need to stay at Portofino Club style next family trip....

    Fast and Furious question

    We've never seen the movies this ride is based on. Should we watch one before our trip? Would the first one be the best or which other one? We only have time for one, I think.

    First Timers Trip, July 15-22 2018

    Thanks for the report. I am taking my daughter next week for a quick trip before she starts her graduate work. I had forgotten that Fast and Furious was now open (wasn't in December) and that there was a castle show this summer. So glad to know we can do those things now. We, too, like to do...
