Cute 🥰 ponytail The Krystal Palace.

[@ramonrivera2067]

We stayed at Dockside from May 27 to June 5. We have two suites in floor 6, we went with a family crew. It was an excellent experience at the hotel and facilities. Food at the hotel was excellent and the Starbucks is a A+. Dockside it’s our new home away from home.

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Totally agree! We were very pleased with our stay. Loved the food and Starbucks too :) glad you enjoyed.

[@nxczbffdsthe32nd]

The fact the people like starbucks more then dunkins their is crazy.

I just discovered your channel and binged a few videos today! Looking forward to staying at dockside for the holidays!

Wow so informative! That hotel is perfect for a family for sure! You covered everything! Great job KP 👏🏻👍🏻

Hola, Kystal, your content is so addictive, great narrating and transition. PS I'm sorry your flight was canceled and Im glad you were able to stay at Dock Side.

We stayed in this hotel in the begining of July. For a party of 5 we had 2 queen beds, tv a kitchen area with sink, mini fridge, microwave and cofeemaker and a table with a bench and chairs. The separate room was also equipped with a Queen bed and TV. like a small appartment type. My kids enjoyed the pool, the free use of towels and how friendly and attentive the staff are. Food at the Pier was decent and for me was plenty to choose from. The hotel is deff family oriented and for us it felt safe. We used the parking lot since Disney's park were literally less than 15 minutes away and Universal's less than 10. It is a lot of restaurants, around also in case you dont like what they offer. Overall We loved it! We also stayed in the first floor. No noise at all. I will deff comming back to this hotel.

Hello, we met you a couple days ago on the Me Ship, The Olive. Thanks for saying hi, unfortunately my little guy got a case of stage fright I guess and all of a sudden he was real shy and wouldn't say anything but we watch all the Universal videos like Rix Flix, Pugh Two, Potter Collector and a while back yours started popping up as suggestions and you are without question his favorite. He kinda chickened out coming up to you at the Universal Store the night before lol and then was totally in shock when we went up to spray people and you were right there. Anyway just wanted to say thanks for saying hello and keep up the great content.

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Hi! Thank you so much for saying hi, it was great to meet you both! Please tell your son I said hello too :) Hope y’all had a great time in the parks!

Great stuff! My daughter is heading there tonight for the night/day tomorrow and I sent this to her has a must watch. LGR !!

[@timandkt]

LOL at the power not actually turning off 😂 I saw what you were going for, though! It's a cool function, when it works. We've not stayed at Dockside or Surfside either one yet, but it's our ultimate goal to try and net at least one stay in every Disney and Universal resort in the long run. The room is definitely nice! I must say, I'd heard that Dockside had thin walls and that it was tough to get a good nights' sleep...but it honestly looks more comfortable than a Disney value resort! 😍Plus, it looks to have a pretty great pool. Moving it on up within our list - thanks for taking us around for the tour!

[@johnshepard6682]

Looks lovely still can’t believe that used to be Wet N Wild.

There is a timer on the card switch, it has to run down before that switch turns the lights out, n of course you can manually turn the lights out

Going to stay at this resort in Dec. for 4 nights. Good to see a coffee maker in the room I'm not a morning person and it's a MUST HAVE for me! Anyone know if there is coffee in Pier 8? I'm kind of bummed to learn there isn't a hot tub anywhere though. We are having a redo trip seeing as hurricane Ian wrecked our vacation at the end of Sept. We did get compensated with 2 park to park tickets and express passes and made the decision to stay in a value resort it made sense seeing as we didn't need the tickets or passes. We're excited to explore I drive and all the attractions there also.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Excellent vlog Krystal! This was very helpful. I really like Universal and hope to stay at one of the hotels someday.

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Thanks so much!!

Staying there in October for the second time. Can't beat it for the price and it's clean and comfortable. Found out about you on All Things Universal Orlando.

🤣🤣im not going to no gym before🤣🤣 I will get in some arm days though

[@ThemeParkFoodies]

We stayed at Surfside for HHN last year and we loved it. Such a great value. Love the sand at the pool. Universals value resorts are actually a value compared to Disney. We tried the gelato at the quick service at surfside and it was delicious. We had a pool view & the only downside was that it was very loud. Def get your steps in and don’t need the gym 😂 Great tour ❤ LGR!

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Yes exactly! Such a great value. I had to get the mini melts but the gelato sounds amazing. Thank you :)

[@scottdavis4935]

We are staying there in October for the first time we stayed at Hard rock in May and in order to come down again chose a cheaper resort this time. Looks clean! Thanks

Very clean!! I always get nervous staying at hotels because of germs but I felt extremely comfortable in this resort. Super clean, new and nice!

[@woooooooo9061]

The universal hotels look fantastic! We have stayed in Orlando twice ( 2015 and 2019 ) and stayed at doubletree by Hilton at Seaworld the first time, and Coronado Springs the 2nd. We are staying there again in September, but we have that 1 night at Hard rock half way through for the express passes. Such a great deal. But the universal hotels you have shown, look every bit as good as Disney.👍

[@TheKrystalPalace]

They are truly great. Very clean, great amenities and benefits. I really love all of them I’ve stayed at so far!

[@Betcaligarcia]

Yeah I was worried about the coffee maker situation I was told they didn’t have any in the rooms . Also you mentioned that if we stay on the 1 and 2 floor we can get a pool view?

[@TheKrystalPalace]

You can get a pool view on any floor but we were told at check in that if you are on floor 1 or 2 you aren't charged more money for the pool view!

[@nataliemc6737]

Hi Krystal. I will go in September. Was this video recorded in the first week of September?

[@hollygonzalez6298]

About how much is the food in the food court at dockside for breakfast and lunch? Is it pricey or about like mcds?

[@SirKnarf]

beyond walking, how frequent is transport to the parks? thanks in advance.

[@TheKrystalPalace]

At Endless Summer they do not have a walking path to the parks, just bus service. They say the buses run every 15 minutes but in my experience it is always quicker! The buses just go to the parks and back so depending on traffic and how quick people get on and off the bus it will be quicker than 15 minutes.

[@macybrookez5570]

Is there no balcony in the room?

Good Video, bus service just as crowded as Disney??

[@TheKrystalPalace]

I didn't think it was as busy honestly. I feel like everyone at Universal is coming and going to the parks at such different times since the hotels and parks are so close people go later or come back for some rest.

[@MAYOSFRAGRANCES]

Great video I’m planing to go to that resort this month. Is it great for families ? My kids really don’t like the universal parks. But we usually stay at the hotel and pool areas.

[@TheKrystalPalace]

I would say Endless Summer Resorts and Cabana Bay are the top 2 family friendly resorts at Universal! Have a great time!

[@kesleyk6731]

Does any food come with your stay?

Very cool place Krystal if I could I would create an alternate universe in which I could live in a place like that minus all the people lol 😅 😎👍🆒

Were you staying in a standard room as you had a coffeemaker, and we were told they only come with suite rooms. Can anyone answer this question.

Yes, $15 per night

[@marywells9615]

Hi can you get a bus from this hotel to Disney parks? 🙂

[@TheKrystalPalace]

There is no bus that Universal provides. Typically a lot of people use a rideshare like Uber to get to Disney from Universal!

[@myunconventionalfairytale2217]

Was your room quiet? Or could you hear people outside?

[@TheKrystalPalace]

Yeah I could hear people outside but by 10:30-11pm it quieted down. Honestly I'm so tired at the end of a park day that it wasn't a bother
