Is there a separate thread for universal pics? Or maybe just post links? JMO, but it's a lot of scrolling/loading on iPhone/iPad through a bunch of non-Disney pics here. Particularly on Disney wifi!

I've never taken this to be a Disney-specific thread as there's lots of non-Disney stuff posted regularly. I love seeing everything from all the parks!

Like I said, when it's just some news and links I just scroll past quickly - no big deal. But lots of pics about other parks seems to me like better located in a separate thread. That many is deathly slow loading on Disney wifi in particular when I'm just looking to get any news that might be relevant to my trip (which has come in quite handy at times!!). Even when Disney related we tend to keep lots of pics to other threads a lot, which I really appreciate. I open those threads when on my laptop at some point.

Is it really that big of a deal if every now and then something isn't WDW related gets on here?

The tags are listed as Universal as well, theme parks,etc if one was searching on this thread.

I scroll through plenty of pics I'm not completely interested in on this thread. I deal.

Thanks for the Universal pictures. That hotel looks great. I may have to try out the roof top bar in another week.

Aventura looks great, but not great enough to switch my Cabana Bay reservation.

Especially since universal hotels allow pool hopping, so I'm sure I'll be visiting (gotta make it to the rooftop bar, too).

I understand only wanting Disney content in this thread however universal is direct competition and many people here visit both locations.

I spy with my little eye a DIS vlogger/team member!

 

[OKW Lover]

I recognize the guy in the loud shirt standing in line in the check-in area. He's a DISer.

Feels like an episode of Romper Room ... "I see Craig, and Panda, and ....."

Is the roof top bar open to anyone or only guests of this hotel or only those staying in Universal hotels?

I can see that being a pretty popular place - nice views!

Open to all, but parking costs a pretty penny of you're not a universal hotel guest.

Man Dies In Freak Industrial Accident at Walt Disney World

Like all accidents, it is truly tragic. It is also the stuff of nightmares. What a horrible thing to happen.

ok, good to know ... though locals could just Uber over or something I assume

Maybe it's just me - but I hate the style of the Aventurra. It's that whole modern chic with no personality that all hotels (not just theme park hotels) seem to be going to. It's the reason I haven't rushed to stay at BLT. Even that bar area that tries to say "modern" but the furnishings just scream "cheap" to me. (And damn those seats look uncomfortable.)
