im going to universal for the first time as an adult and first time staying on the property! As an autistic 22 year old videos like these are my saving grace. Thank you for showing me exactly what i can expect as surprises are very hard for me. This was SO helpful!

My wife and I stayed here last year for four nights and had a blast. We did park hoppers for both parks and visited Volcano Bay one day and having the side entrance within walking distance was so nice. Also the bus service to take you into City Walk was so helpful. Highly recommend staying here!

I’m a local and Cabana Bay is my go to of all the park hotels, Disney included. One can have as noisy or quiet as one desires and still be close to everything. And I just love the kitchiness ❤️

Another outstanding in-depth video as I’ve come to expect from you. So professional and so informative. Keep them coming fella.

We've stayed there twice and really enjoyed it. The family suites are a little small but hard to beat the lazy river and the pools for the kids and walking to Volcano Bay. Most of the maps they create for the resort are turned 90° from the actual north-south layout.

Fun tip: the screens in the cafeteria show real commercials from the 1950s and 60s. Watch as many of them as you can. You'd be shocked at the "safety" standards they had back then. Truly astounding to see, especially when the ads for kids' toys comes up. That was mind-boggling! I researched some of these toys and a chemistry set may or may not have had refined gunpowder! It must have been crazy being a kid in those days, knowing your toys could put you in the hospital the next day! 😂😲

Another top quality and informative guide from the Frugal one, keep them coming 👍🏻

I had a great time at universals endless summer: surfside the room was great. Parks were great and this was my first time ever! We plan on going back next year to stay at cabana bay. Thanks for the video!

A truly incredible hotel, I felt like I had been transported to another world. I loved it there. 2nd best holiday of my life. My best one was in Lanzarote.The beers and burgers we had in Disneyland was good and the kids lerned a lot about animals thair.

Loved the video! Based on your earlier recommendations, we’re staying at Cabana Bay for the private Volcano Bay access for our trip later this year. It’ll be our first time visiting Universal as well. Keep up the great content!

Another great video. Hadn't realized how appealing cabana bay is with the lazy river and slides. Thanks for all the tips and putting this together. Wonderful job again 😊

Great video. We stated at this hotel for 4 nights in 2022. Great hotel and location. Bus service to the parks was flawless. Good food court. Two big pools. Love the decor and theming. No issues. Staying here again when we go in 2025. We booked to family suites with interior entry that were also connecting

[davidrodrigues]

Amazing video, the best one I could find on the subject. Thanks for the tips and all the info, you helped a lot.

[Seoulsearch]

Fantastic videos! I appreciate how thorough you always are -- I'm in the US and find your videos more helpful than many from the locals. Wonderful work as always. 👍💐💕

Absolutely superb review! Wife and I travelling from the UK in November & staying at Cabana Bay, then travelling again in July 2024 with my 18 year old (staying in ES Surfside) so this has been exactly what I was after! Thank you so much for your attention to detail 👍👏
