[mikelan6]

I just returned from a weekend at Universal Orlando. Here are some photos I took. I hope you enjoy.

Welcome to Universal Orlando Resort


The bridge to the Royal Pacific


Boat transportation to and from the Loews resorts




I stayed at the beautiful Loews Royal Pacific Resort


My standard room


Standard Bath


I loved the themed scale models throughout the lobby




I saw this beauty on my walk to the new Cabana Bay Resort
*Note - You may not officially walk to the Cabana Bay Resort


I did enjoy the architecture


This reminded me of the old Miami Beach motels


The huge Skyliner Diner


The bowling alley looked fun


The lobby theming was nicely done


One of the pool areas


Buses take guests to and from Citywalk


The mini golf attraction at City Walk


City Walk at dusk

The new Transformers attraction isn't as good as the Spiderman attraction


Love the theming


A beautiful sunrise​

Great pictures! Can't trust that Spider-Man though - J. Jonah Jameson was right.

Did you have any ice cream at Florean Fortescue's? What was your favorite flavor?

I had the chocolate / chocolate raspberry in a cone. They were ok.

I had a burger at Cabana Bay for dinner the first night. It was okay. lunch was at Mythos. I have do you salmon, which was pretty good. The service could've been better though. Dinner that night was at Jake's American bar and the Royal Pacific. I had the fish and chips which was very good.

I don't really have a favorite thing. It was a great trip throughout.
