We have stayed at Hard Rock and Portofino Bay (a fortnight each time) without doing Disney and found our breaks to be really relaxing. As suggested above we went to watch an Orlando City game (we booked through Virgin and had the coach travel included - pick-up was at Citywalk), we also visited Discovery Cove, Seaworld, Aquatica and Volcano Bay. If you want a change of scenery you can also ‘pool hop’ between Universal resorts. Maybe one evening dine at a Portofino Bay restaurant when Gru and the Minions are visiting and then listen to the opera singer of an evening around the Portifino Bay area.

we did 14 nights in 2016 at Cabana Bay and were sooo busy
at cabana there are 2 pools, one lazy river and slide,and the bowling alley which we did one afternoon and had a blast mears do a shuttle to the premium outlets athough i think you have to book this however in 2016 it was free, , however there were plenty of taxis' outside cabana and at the outlets to come back at universal there are the rides, shows to keep you well busy, we had one afternoon that was a wet ride day - a good times! to eat there is a great choice, toothsome chocolate factory, cowfish we got the landry card for bubba gump we also got the eat and play card this gave you access either to the cinema or crazy golf and a meal it was a great deal as i think it was $25 a head the new endless summer hotel will open i think this June (check) you could get the shuttle bus to there and then explore International drive using the trolley bus, as the hotel is on the old wet and wild site. we booked an trip to wild florida which was a pick up from rosen point hotel that was a great afternoon on the airboats seeing the alligators and wild life the choices is endless! have a great time

As you know, Cabana Bay is only one of the now numerous hotels at Universal. We sometimes spend some time going to the others to have a look around when we stay at the Royal Pacific, you could always pool hop as well as long as you don't mind the hassle. Also, you can get the I Trolley all the way up and down I Drive and hop on and off as much as you like. The new area at the Orlando Eye is nice, plenty of eateries and outside space.

We stayed at cabana bay, and I think it's going to take some serious doing on my part to get my wife to choose a villa over doing there again. The ease of getting straight into volcano bay 🌋 and the pools there themselves. Plenty for people of all ages to do. What's not to love about sitting around a pool with a beer watching a film on the projector.

Yes it does. It leaves from close to the seaworld entrance.

We have just got back from 7 nights doing Seaworld, Busch Gardens and Aquatica. We had a great time, a lot more relaxing. We done Seaworld twice, Aquatica twice and Busch Gardens once. We all really enjoyed the change x
