Universal Orlando Cabana Bay Resort Tour | Hotel Grounds, Family Suite & Volcano Bay View Room Tours

[@leesmyth4745]

Tim thank you so much for showing the Cabana Bay cat. We stayed there in April and the cat is very friendly if you feed it. The cat is a female and was pregnant when we were there. She did have a hurt paw and we made sure the workers were aware of it. They take care of her and the workers already have agreed to take home the kittens. There was a woman who wanted to take the cat home with her she drove and we flew, so it would have been easier for her but the workers promised she would be well taken care of. I was so happy that you showed her and she looks relaxed and well. Thank you, made me smile.

[@renattadonaldson5480]

I stayed in there too in April for my birthday with my best friend and my grandparents and my mom!

[@irenepierce167]

We were there in April also and fed the kitty. I swear my husband is a cat whisperer, lol. She allowed him to pet her and got quite comfortable with him. She was very sweet. Unfortunately, we flew also so couldn't take her home. While in Orlando we popped in this past January just to tour our favorite resort, but didn't see her. I got so excited to see her in the video. Can't wait to show him when he gets home tonight.

[@largol33t1]

@@irenepierce167, I might be there in the third quarter of the year. Is the hotel "mascot" roaming the outside or do they let her inside the lobby?

[@irenepierce167]

@@largol33t1 Just saw your post. Sorry it took so long. I'm pretty sure she's just an outdoor kitty. Lots of guests feed her. I have to wonder if she is still as skittish as she was when we first saw her in April 2018. So funny to see Tim's vlog and there she was. Hope you get to see her.

[@largol33t1]

@@irenepierce167 An update, I got back from a one week stay. I never saw the Cabana Bay cat. She might have either moved on to another hotel or someone adopted her. I pray she didn't get hit by a car. The hotels on this block have no sidewalks! Even worse, there are no crosswalks or lights to guide pedestrians. Unbelievable. They make everyone use the overhead bridge but you have to scan your room key at the VERY unreliable gates on each end. This was so aggravating and took so long that I just refused to walk over to the other side for the rest of the trip. And the ones around Cabana Bay's pool area are also unreliable. Sometimes, after the key card beeps the lock, I had to wiggle the handle to get it to move! Overall, it was decent but the rooms are not kept up well (found two LONG black hairs on the supposedly washed sheets) and in some hallways, the carpet has a noticeable rip.

[@mousestreetdvc]

OMG - The view of Volcano Bay!

[@Rainbolt1980]

It is very impressive. Universal has really come a long way.

[@thekingofsnipez4074]

Mouse Street TV I know right I can’t wait until I stay there

[@TeriyakiDior]

Mouse Street TV I KNOW!!! IT'S SO EPIC!!! MY JAW LITERALLY DROPPED LOL

[@mel_qeen179]

Mouse Street TV I wonder what room number that is

[@rebeccagourley1202]

Yea it's so beautiful I would love to have this room

I went there and it was the best experience ever. Recommend it massively

[@andreacunningham5832]

Isn't 14.00 dollars for a cup that u have to pay 7.00 to refill sounds kinda or am I wrong ?? What was that cup 22oz to 32oz not sure let me no if I'm wrong plz??

[@andygolding1150]

Andrea Cunningham yea correct in dollars not sure of oz tho sorry

[@kahoaliiaiu7130]

What’s the price at the Cabana hotel and does this hotel have enough space let’s say for family and do they have a buffet over their too and how big is the space at the cabana hotel and do these guys do Military or police discounts ? and can it fit me and my family

[@jamiebonneau48]

I think they really nailed the look they were going for perfectly

[@largol33t1]

I REALLY like the look. It's so sleek but still has a happy personality. The interior designers really knew their stuff and it clearly shows. I've stayed at a hotel (it opened long before Cabana Bay) that tried to imitate this look and failed hilariously. It was some small name hotel, nothing owned by the 'Big 4' (Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Holiday Inn).

[@brantlie_boone]

My husband and I stayed in the Volcano Bay side room last September on our honeymoon. We arrived at the hotel too early for our check in but they held our luggage for us while we looked around and grabbed lunch. They texted us when the room was ready and we picked up our luggage and went to our room. We had the most amazing view! It was so breath taking! Seeing this video brought back so many memories! I can smell how the room smelled just from watching this video... might be weird. And the fish tacos at the bar by the pool were amazing! I can’t wait to go back one day!

[@hiro111]

I've stayed here. Absolutely fantastic resort, it's one of my favorites in all of Orlando. I love the theme, it's so light and cheerful. The family suite is very well designed for four people. Getting a drink poolside or at the Swizzle is a great way to wind down. The lazy river is really nice to have, we went every day. The staff was very friendly and well trained. You can walk to the resorts via a path just past the Thunderbird building but it's a long trek. Lastly, it's an affordable hotel. One drawback (and it's a big one): no included express pass with this resort. For that reason alone, I've stayed at both Hard Rock and Royal Pacific (neither of which I liked as much).

[@DynamiteDanceFL]

I caught the “about 3 private cabanas” joke. Hahaha!

[@peanutismint]

Alan Towers me too!

[@theshookavocado6142]

Wut

[@rcr2279]

My son & I stayed there last August & it is a fantastic hotel! I loved the decor/theme. Rooms were clean & spacious. Our view overlooked the lazy river and, if you pressed your face up against the window, you could see the volcano from Volcano Bay. I really liked the diner in the hotel. Tons & tons of food to choose from. All very resonable. All nights we were there, we ate for around $20-$25 for two people. I would definitely recommend staying there. You get access to early park hours. You also have two pools to swim in & the lazy river. All the pools were very nice. Also, where we stayed, it was a very short walk to Volcano Bay. It was great!

[@hollyyoung3223]

This is where we stayed in February! We loved it ! They even gave us an upgrade , because it was my birthday! loved how it could be closed off , nice addition!

[@maryssasmoker2782]

Wooooo I love resort tours!!!🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@kawealuv952]

This is what I think pop century should have looked like....an ode to the atomic age.

[@yvldusty]

I disagree. I think it’s wonderful the way it’s set up currently.

[@kaitlinfrancher541]

My husband and I have watched your videos for almost two years now and i've never chimed in until now. We are so relieved that "Cabana" the cat is ok. We had so many meals with her during our last vacation. LOVE her. Also we love going on adventures with you and Jen. Hi from the mountains of Colorado!!!

[@largol33t1]

I went there last month. Am a bit let down that I never saw the cat. But it's a great hotel. The one catch of going in January is that although crowds are VERY light, you run the risk of Volcano Bay being shut down. They will try to open it but there were signs everywhere saying "Because of unexpected cold weather, Volcano Bay is closed." There were quite a few angry kids in the lobby. I can't blame them since they came all the way to see the water park. I think their parents took them to Universal to cheer them up. It's only four minutes away by bus and Universal's bus system is punctual and reliable.

[@heycharnay9180]

The cabana bay cat 😼

[@marshmellozebra7422]

I stayed there a couple years ago with some friends. That place is huge, but awesome! The lazy river was so nice to relax after a long day at the parks. 💙

[@karencvicknair3645]

Do you rent a tube once and keep for your whole stay

[@emmabailo]

i watched this video when it came out last year, and yesterday i returned from florida after staying at cabana bay resort cor two weeks and my heart is so full, i met time while i was over there and i’ve never had a better holiday, i had to come back and watch this and just hear the noises of cabana bay, like the pool gates shutting and the bar tenders working and so on, i feel sad that my holiday is over but i’m glad i can come back to this video whenever i need a cheering up. i love cabana bay and our volcano view room, it was more than i could have dreamed of

[@v1rtualinsect]

I love Cabana Bay! I recently went to Universal with my parents and we stayed in this hotel. The whole 50s/60s aesthetic made it that much more fun to stay at. This is the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The diner’s food was delicious and the rooms were gorgeous. The beds were so comfortable. I remember I would relax in the lazy river for hours and repeatedly ride the water slide in the atomic pool. I also remember spending a long time looking at all of the merchandise they had in the gift shop. If my parents and I go back to Universal, I want to stay here again. :)

[@peyton4706]

Love the mid century modern decor

[@sburris65]

Wow....Universal does budget resort much better than Disney. The resort reminds me of one I stayed in while I was in Phoenix.

[@noahmizen7001]

If only they could work together

[@melissaforrester5109]

So glad you are showing this...this is where we are staying

[@randomspectator2580]

I’m sooo jealoussssss I’d love to stay there

[@abbifield9259]

same im going in 2022

[@bcrich792000]

Possibly the best themed hotel I've seen since they went down to the finest details such as with the soaps!

[@jasonpburford]

Love the retro Cali look of Cabana Bay. Everything.

[@bonnieperkins4012]

I love Cabana Bay I had family down from Philadelphia last week stayed a few days they loved it.

[@ErThi829]

Man I hope you guys never stop making videos. You’re always so informative and helpful. I live close by the parks and am an AP for both UO and WDW. Most of the stuff I know about the parks are thanks to you guys! Keep up the awesome work!

[@marieteresa3963]

Love the color scheme and '50's, '60's vintage decor.

[@daniellamsc85]

I am SO GLAD to see the cabana bay kitty!!! We were there back in November of 2017 and met him! He is actually super sweet. We gave him some food and milk. Multiple guests were feeding him. The staff said he kind of just appeared. He seemed happy. I'm glad he is OK. I often think of him! :-)

[@leesmyth4745]

Daniella Saiz Calderon He is a she and she was pregnant when we were there in May. Looks like she had her kittens. She is very sweet if you feed her.

[@AmyC531]

This is the most detailed video like this I think I've ever seen! A big help in navigating when we stay there in January 2022! Thank you!

[@tibbymiller8229]

I gasped at that view of Volcano Bay 🗿⛰ - wow

[@ejf0255]

Best hotel in Orlando !!! Love it.

[@PotterFreak22]

I was there on vacation 3 weeks before! It is the bestest most greatest place ever!!!! The best birthday I've ever had! Definitely going back soon!

[@jntaylor8181]

Staying here for a few days during 4th of July. Can’t wait!!

[@elsannin14121]

This is by far the coolest hotel I've ever been to. We went for 5 days to do Universal Studios. The hotel itself is worth spending a day at enjoying. We did the arcade, bowling, the pools and s'mores. Just eating stuff at the hotel and enjoying the day there. So much to do just at the hotel. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommend this place.

[@edwindrood2816]

Love Cabana Bay. Excellent hotel!

[@dianaearich3649]

One of my favorite hotels. I LOVE the lazy River.😁 It’s very trendy. Very fun place to stay. The bowling alley is really cool as well. Very family friendly.👍

[@jeannewiddicombe]

WOW!!😱 That view from volcano Bay AWESOME 😀

[@mousestreetdvc]

That might be the best hotel view ever!

[@Philip3777]

This is perfect timing! Staying at this hotel in a week!

[@fifthrider]

I'm always very happy when you do a resort tour. There's a LOT of good non-Disney and non-Universal owned resorts around the parks that I'd like to know more about. Often I don't even know these exist until you do a tour on them or if I make a specific point to look at a map of the surrounding areas. Keep up the good work, I hope to see them all on your channel at one point.

[@annb.2106]

Same. Thank God for Tim

[@stevenjschuler1169]

We stayed there in May and we are definitely going back to enjoy Cabana Bay again in 2020. It was well worth the money with some much to do and so many perks with some great amenities on the entire resort property. I love the fact that if you don’t spend a day at any of the parks you can still enjoy what this resort has to offer. I love it very much.

[@michaelbuckley2513]

I was just there, I’m currently at the airport on my way home! Too bad I don’t see you guys there. We stayed in the continental building, and far off in the distance we were able to Cinderella’s castle, which got us pretty amped up for our Disney trip next month.

[@jennijack2444]

I’m staying in this hotel October 2019 I know it’s ages away but I can’t wait 😊 awesome video btw !

[@willekec4437]

That was so great. Thank you for showing all this!

[@BryantDIGITAL]

Great video Tim! For the last 6 years, every year when I come to Universal, I stay at Cabana Bay. You Really cant beat the price. Its a lovely resort! Next year when I come for my birthday, I'll be most definitely requesting a room with that view of Volcano Bay.. I never seen that, and that looks AMAZING!!!

[@kay4u]

I went here a bit ago and was really missing it, thank you for making this video and letting me remember what it was all like.

[@samanthasmith9302]

This is our favorite resort!! We’ve stayed four times the past three years. The Continental is our favorite section, it’s the most convenient to everything in the resort.

[@ApRiNc3sZ]

I love how informative you are about the hotels and I love how you explain everything!

[@JLis381]

I love this! I'm planning my vacation to universal and being from another country, I find this incredible useful and informative! Please make more videos like this about the other hotels, and well, everything you can! Lol xD

[@asheelizah9395]

I love the 50's theme. The details and back ground music is so much fun!

[@janetovens756]

That has got to be one of the most impressive views I've seen on any of these vlogs. Forget maybe seeing a giraffe from Animal Kingdom Lodge, I would sit and watch that all day from my air con room.

[@Danny-br9jp]

Awesome job as always I do not think you ever miss much of anything on these Resort Tours.

[@radificationnation]

I just wanted to thank you for posting these videos! They are so fun and relaxing - I look forward to watching them every day. 😊

[@Fangrrrll]

Excellent tour! Cabana Bay is one of my favorite places. I’m a Disney person, but my family can get me to Universal a lot more frequently because I love staying at Cabana Bay so much. I can tell I will be rewatching this video often to get my fix between trips!

[@meganwalker8597]

Stayed here three times and can’t wait to go back so many more times. The hotel is amazing but the staff and service is just excellent too. This video has made me soooo jealous !!!! 😣😣

[@LeeLee-jl9gs]

Great video Tim👍🏼

[@mixedblood09]

I stayed there during wrestlemania weekend when it was in Orlando. it's the best experience I've ever had. that new building was still in development however, I was fortunate to have a nice view of the volcano ever morning. def expensive but worth every penny with the fun we had.

[@10nestaw1993]

This is where i stayed when I visited Orlando it's was a great hotel with very friendly staff and great facilities.

[@tpgslg1283]

Love Cabana Bay! We've stayed there and at Hard Rock club level. Both are terrific but only CB is a repeater for us. CB has such a great vibe and the cafe food is good and well priced. Our room was at the end of one of the tower sections, 235 steps from the elevator (we counted). This was pre-Volcano Bay. When our plane was late, we got to hang at the lobby bar a bit: live music, good cocktails, yummy snacks, perfection! On the way to the parks one morning, we met Lucy who was on her way to the lobby for a meet and greet, awesome! The only thing Tim missed was the shuttle bus spot. It's located at the end of the row of classic cars outside the lobby doors. Another great vlog!

[@carmenhoward1725]

We stayed at Cabana Bay in 2016 and 2017 and loved it both times. We stayed in a courtyard family suite. Thanks for taking us back!

[@jaysonbalsley5979]

We loved staying there this past November. We stayed in Beachside with a Volcano Bay view. It was awesome! We totally recommend it!

[@willhargis6295]

I love Cabana bay resort I stayed there once with my family on a vacation. It's great!!!!!

[@aelinluna3434]

This might sound stupid, but thanks for giving such a great tour of this place. I'm going here soon, but I always get worried when I travel because I have a brain injury and have a lot of trouble finding my way around. So this really helped! Absolutely perfect. And this place looks amazing too!

[@Itsmejoc]

Now I know what to expect when I go to that hotel sooooo cool!! I love it!

I would never think of staying at Universal, but the review was surprisingly great. The themeing is on point, and that Volcano Bay view is so cool - never would've thought it was that impressive!

[@kerridutcher958]

You always do such a good job of describing the layout and features of hotels. Love watching them!

[@mousestreetdvc]

OH Wow - Love the Cars! Didn't realize this resort was so BIG! We're "Disney" People, but we may have to try Universal on one of our visits! Rooms looked nice! TY Tim and Jenn for sharing all things O-Town! Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!

[@SnapesGirl]

Mouse Street TV Universal Resorts really blow the Disney ones out of the water! I had always stayed at Disney resorts but on my last trip did Cabana Bay. You get so many more things at Universal Resorts for less money. Definitely recommend staying here!

[@mousestreetdvc]

We may have to try Cabana Bay soon! TY for the recommendation!

[@veryberry39]

I was just thinking the same thing, that I'm a Disney kid through and through. But this resort looks REALLY cool.

[@DavidRuiz-ju5dq]

Tonia Holden Disney deluxes are so pretty thooo

[@jordans5792]

Universal hotels are far and away better than even the best Disney resorts.. That being said, cabana bay does not have a ferryboat that takes you to the parks and it doesn’t include fastpass with the room rate like some of the other hotels do

[@paul_bailey]

We were at volcano bay this week for the first time. Amazing water park! Can’t wait to go back and stay at cabana bay!

[@bigredvlogs1928]

i think my mom will love this hotel mainly because of the music playing in the food area

[@mousestreetdvc]

The music sounds amazing!

[@moonchild-711]

My husband and I just LOVE this place!! Been there every year since it opened and we will be back this year! Just wanted to add that the gym - Jack LaLanne - is simply fabulous!!! It has the top of the line fitness equipment (LifeFitness) with a selection of free weights, and many fitness "accessories" added to make your workout worthwhile! All the cardio equipment (which there is quite the selection, as you said Tim) is equipped with a tv connected to the internet. There are also locker rooms with showers and combination lockers. We have checked out ALL the gyms at each of the Loews resorts there in Orlando and this hotel is definitely the best all around. It's also well maintained and VERY large with a lot of room! Thank you, Tim, for a video of our favorite hotel. . . VERY well done, for sure!!! I felt like I was right there with you. . . :)

[@garyandbecca]

You know my love for this hotel 😍 not long until we’re back

[@victorjones7492]

We stayed at Cabana Bay when it was fairly new and we absolutely loved it. The room was awesome!

[@ericm2676]

those views are breath taking

[@k13l3]

Im from the UK and stayed there last year. Would love to go back

[@largol33t1]

Now I'm curious. Did the UK have buildings designed like that in the 1960s? That's the time in America the designers were trying to imitate. They should have included a MINI with the other classic cars on display. I used to own a current generation BMW version of the MINI and can see why it was so popular in the late 1960s.

[@FireCracker3240]

I am SO glad to see that the Arcade business is still alive and well at Disney/Universal resorts! It's SO hard to find a good arcade these days anywhere, and I really miss them. It was such a huge part of my childhood. I love skee ball, the kind with the real wooden balls.

[@thechroniclesofkb4528]

We were thinking of staying here for our anniversary this year! Thanks for helping confirm that decision for us! Looks BEAUTIFUL!

[@scmigema3810]

For people watching from oversea’s 🇦🇺these videos are so valuable , you can’t get this sort of information off a website or a travel agent. Keep up the good work Tim and Jenn. Been watching since 200k , congrats on 400k 🎉🥂🎂🍻

Gorgeous hotel. Love the theming. I like how thoughtful the 1st rooms layout is for families.

[@donnyboylowell1339]

I really want to thank you for this video, because I fell in love with this hotel the first year I went in 2019. In September, I’ll be staying for the fourth time at Cabana Bay. Thank you.

[@alisonedwards9775]

Thanks for this vlog. We are travelling from Australia for the first time this year and staying here. Your vlog was amazing.

[@BrycenTara]

Most adorable hotel. That view though. WOW. I really love this hotel’s design and concept.

[@largol33t1]

I stayed there and they go all out with the retro theming right down to the carpet. Just about the only things that stick out are the modern soda machines and telephones. If someone is distracted by 1950s/60s theming, they won't like it. I loved the styling and the rooms. Got the best standard room in the hotel too: the top floor of the Americana wing. It offers stunning views of Volcano Bay, especially at night.

[@NiamhOToole]

I was just there 2 weeks ago and we loved every single minute of our stay in the cabana bay beach resort, we hope to go back again next year it was the best holiday ❤️

[@katelynmcmanus2714]

This is what I was waiting for!! Can’t wait to stay here in may !!!!

[@LennyK616]

I've been waiting for this one! This resort looks so awesome. I love anything retro and I've been looking forward to your tour. No one does then like Tim. Thank you.

[@Shellarella74]

We have stayed there 3 times! It’s the best value in the park. I love the decor, food and service! Great tour I didn’t see everything that you showed. The place is huge! At night they play movies on the lawn by the pools!

[@DiverNova]

Visited this resort about three weeks ago with my family. Thanks for the tour. Brought back a lot of great memories. Nice job covering all the areas. The access to Volcano Bay was very convenient because we were fortunate enough to stay in one of the towers with a Volcano Bay view. Enjoy it when you decide to stay there!

[@Maria-jn4vf]

DiverNova How long did it take to walk to Volcano Bay? Thanks

[@DiverNova]

Maria C . It took about 2-3minutes to walk from our tower entrance to the guest entrance of Volcano Bay. Once past security check another minute or to to the main guest entrance where you receive your Tapu tapu.

[@mariapereira8187]

We stayed in a suite in 2017 and we love it, it's so well themed better than the values at Disney, hope to return soon!!
