Tales from the Universal Side

Day 4- Final day and last thoughts

On our last day we decided the leave late and we went to the park to finish up. We had ice cream at the Alley. We had some apple ice cream. I usually don't like sweet fruit. But the apple ice cream was very good. When we entered the gentleman who was taking the tickets was saying hello to everyone by name. We were very impressed

We went to the Red Oven restaurant for some pizza. We had the spinach pizza it was very good. That was it. We both headed home.

I really enjoyed our trip.

Cabana Bay was wonderful. Both of us can't wait to go back. I just really loved the resort. My sister is already planning a trip back to Cabana Bay.

CB does not have Express pass but to be honest we did not need it. The lines were very short. It really depends on when you go. During busier times express pass is incredibly useful. We were there in late September so we didn't really need it.

Team members were wonderfully friendly. Bus service was quick and easy.

Food was good. I can't wait for my next trip and I hope you weren't too bored by my report.

Thank you.

hi, thanks for your report. just wondering if you used the gringotts and forbidden journey lockers? were they a pain? any trouble finding one or finding yours after the ride? i know they have a thumbprint system,but do you also get a receipt with a number on it to use when you pick up your stuff? tia

We tried to pack light. Neither one of us carry bags into the theme park. If it fits easily into your pocket they leave you alone at Least on Gringotts. We did use the locker when we purchased items and wish they would make the area a little bit bigger.

Forbidden Journey Lockers Ugh. On FJ you have to use the lockers. No pockets nothing. We used it once and what a mess. Several tour groups were in there and every single member of the party was in there. I was pressed against the wall at one point. The TM then started shouting One member of your party please. The lockers are easy to use but sometime the area was crowded. You don't get a receipt just have to remember your number.
