Hey guys,
Last year we stayed at Cabana Bay. I traveled with my wife, daughter and in-laws. We have been to Universal often and we stay at the parks for about 2 weeks at a time. We have also been to Universal Studios out in LA. We fly from Scandinavia, so we consider ourselves huge fans and will buy an annual pass in september when we go next.
I've taken care of all flights and and the rental car, and I have been playing around with looking at the 3 park explorer pass (which we have bought the last two times in FLA) vs booking the rooms separate and buying an annual pass (which will save us some money, for others contemplating something similar).
Anyways, last year we stayed at CBBR and what we loved about it was the proximity to Volcano Bay. We went there almost every day out of our 2 week vacation. My in-laws aren't as keen on UO and IOA as us, but they LOVED the feel at Volcano Bay.
And this brings me to the point of this thread. Last year we stayed at the Americana building and the walking distance to VB was maybe 400 steps. Incredible. I would like to look at other hotels for our next stay, just to try something different. So I've been looking at Sapphire falls. It's offers better transport to the other parks and something else to look at and experience.
But I would not like to lose the walking element to VB.
Are there people here that frequently walked from Sapphire Falls to VB? How long did it take? Is the shortest distance over the big street and through Cabana Bay? Or is there any other way? And more importantly, can people that stay at Sapphire Falls use the special gate behind CBBR, to get to Volcano Bay?
i know these are specific questions. Thanks for reading.
Have a wonderful day.
