If you love water parks, you will love Volcano Bay I'm sure. It's amazing!

I definitely love water parks. Volcano Bay is one reason I've decided to go to Universal. I've been looking at videos and photos and my mind is blown!

My positivity for the day is my husband now shows on my booking. When they announced the opening and no more bookings I quickly rang up and added him (always the intention just didn't want the extra deposit). Everything was confirmed straight away but always feels better when I can see him on MDE!

Volcano bay is brilliant and sapphire falls is gorgeous. We stayed across the road at cabana bay and sometimes walked through sapphire falls to get the boat. It’s about a 15-20 min walk to city walk and it’s incredibly scenic - gorgeous flowers everywhere.
Sounds like a perfect plan B

I didn’t realise you could use the boat from sapphire falls if staying at cabana bay (are they ok about you doing this? ) How easy was it to get from cabana bay to Sapphire falls? I’m interested in both hotels and trying to work out which would be most suitable if we were to change to one of them for August. We like the look of both of them.

Yes it’s allowed. We walked to the parks 90% of the time - it’s gorgeous and scenic. We got the boat a few times as we were tired, plus we love a boat ride. It’s a five min walk to sapphire falls from cabana bay. Def worth it though - the bus queues from cabana bay were long on occasion. Also if you go via sapphire falls or walk you go through a little bag check area so avoid the main bag check queue

Last time we stayed at cabana bay we asked to be as close to the bayliner diner (food court) As possible. This puts you really close to the bus stop and also closer to the road to get across to aventura and sapphire falls.

We LOVE cabana bay and aventura so much. I’d love to stay at sapphire falls but I just haven’t seen the right price yet.

As for the boat, you can absolutely use this. It’s for everyone.

It's even easier Aventura to Sapphire Falls.

The deciding factor was having to reserve a Disney park in advance. I like spending part of a day in a water park and part in a main park which won't be possible at Disney. So instead of spending 7 nights at POFQ I'll now be spending 7 nights at Sapphire Falls. I will then have 5 complimentary nights at Disney's Polynesian which I'm keeping as will only have to pay for food. No parks, just mooching around the resort, Disney Springs, perhaps a day at Sea World. Now I've made the decision it's a massive relief and I can feel excited again
