Glad to hear you liked it. I have always loved CB for my solo stays, heading back in May after 2+ years away and in August also. I like the food options at the Bayliner diner, the Swizzle lounge, and the easy access to VB, which with a 3 park AP I treat as another pool.
Yeah, I've stayed there twice in the past, but recent reviews paint a pretty terrible picture so I was just wanting an honest opinion. I've seen hours long check in lines, weed smell in the hallways, lots of trash everywhere, non existent blankets with only a thin scratchy sheet on the bed, broken pool furniture, overflowing pool trash cans, etc.
Thank you! … pretty flexible with a visit before or after Disney … either 9/16,17,18 Or 9/24,25,26.. I could also take a day or two from Disney … and still have enough time for parks.
I hope you lol tell us ur experiences!!! Have a great time!!!
I was one for a long time as well. I got an AP for Universal 6 years ago and have been happier with them. They seem happy for our business. They don't care if we come from Florida. Great Discounts for our AP Universal. I really like that even if you are Seasonal you are not completely blocked out unlike Disney
Three days, okay. I didn’t realize about Halloween… sounds like BEfore Disney would be better than?…also Sounds like deluxe hotel would be easiest as well… with express, Just in case i decide theres more rides lol
We did 2 days at Universal before Disney in November staying onsite at Portofino and were so glad we did that first. We visit Disney every 2-3 years but had not been to Universal in a long time and it has changed so much. We were so sore from all of the walking at Disney if we did Universal after I do not think we would have been able to enjoy it or see as much as we did but this way we got to experience it when we were fresh and loved it.
Feel the exact same way. We let our wdw aps go in February, too crowded, to much planning, UO AP is half the price, don’t seem to appreciate their AP guest like UO. In fact we upgraded UO aps and have chosen the UO resorts over Disney for several years now. Just feel like we get more bang for our buck. If we want a little Disney we just go to Disney springs.
What age would you say is OK for this show? All ages? 13+? Or...?
For me, it replaced one of my favorite attractions and I’m not a big Fallon fan.
I think it's cheaper if you stay at the deluxe hotel instead of adding the passes later. I know that the days we went, it was. I suppose it depends on how many people are in your party.
He probably needs to avoid all coasters. Someone had mentioned flight of the hippogriff. That one jerks me way too much. Seuss land might be fine. High in the sky trolley ride feels smooth enough to me. Cat in the hat does a few spins but seems pretty mild. There are also several good shows that aren’t 3d or moving. Bourne is fantastic and Horror make up show is fun. Just walking around the two Harry Potter lands is a lot of fun. Get a wand and do spells. Hogwarts express is a different ride each way and shouldn’t cause a problem. Jurassic Park area is neat too. I think The cave section is for the kids but I love it. Easy to move through and explore but Jurassic Park has been my favorite movie since I was a kid.
Like others said, there is a lot he might not be able to do, but I think he could still potentially have a good time. Is he a Harry Potter fan? If he is, just walking around both lands and window shopping is great. He can get a wand and go around performing spells. Just trying to get to all the spell locations will take a couple of hours. And queue line for HP and the Forbidden Journey is great, it's like a walk through attraction all on it's own. It sounds weird, but you could totally enjoy your time just walking through the queue line and seeing everything. Ask a CM at the front of the attraction, this doesn't always happen but sometimes they will let people walk through the Express Line just to see the queue, and from their they can very easily exit without getting on the attraction (although as a note there are stairs). Also, I know Despicable Me has a non moving seat option. Like the OP said, you're basically in a large room and everyone sits on a moving bench. You can ask for the non moving seat (which is also the option for children who don't meet the height requirement) and basically enjoy the attraction like it's a movie. It's a big enough room that hopefully you wouldn't have an issue with claustrophobia, but if you all walk in and find it too constrictive they will let you walk right out the exit. I think some other attractions have a non moving seat option, at least Shrek 4-D did before it closed. And how does he do with Splash Mountain and Kali River Rapids? There are some similar attractions at Universal (Jurassic Park, Dudley Do-Right, and Popeye) if you want to risk getting wet.
This is a great suggestion. The line for Forbidden Journey is totally a fantastic walk through attraction worth doing even if you aren't riding. If he is a Harry Potter fan, do the full line, because the Express Line skips the Greenhouse and some other parts of the castle. Go through the line, and then when you get to the lockers before you board, tell a Team Member you don't want to ride and they will direct you to an exit.
All ages. It is a stunt show but different/better than others I've seen.
