Do I get the Unlimited Express Pass if I stay at Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort?
Unfortunately, No!
There are many great reasons to stay at the Cabana Bay Beach Resort having one of the best Pool areas with Water Slide & Lazy River, and while you do get early access to the Harry Potter sections of the Universal Parks, you do not get the Unlimited Express Passes. If the unlimited express pass is important to your stay, you can get this with your booking at any of the Deluxe Resorts like the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, Loews Royal Pacific Resort, or the Hard Rock Hotel.
Early Admission to the Universal Parks
Having Early Access to the Universal Orlando Theme Parks is amazing. When you stay at the Cabana Bay Beach Resort you can get into the Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure Harry Potter sections of the parks earlier than anyone else. Since these rides are some of the hottest in the park, this is a real benefit. Walk through Hogsmeade and see all of the stores and shops along with all of the rides with very few guests in the park. If you have purchased the multi-park option, you can ride the train back and forth between the two parks as well. Did you know that you also get early access to the Volcano Bay Water Park? This park gets pretty crowded so be sure to use this to your benefit.
Free Shuttle Service
Park your car and don't plan to use it again until you are ready to head home. This is one of the best reasons to stay at the Cabana Bay Resort at Universal Orlando. Having continuous transportation to and from the parks is high on the list for most guests since it does make for a very convenient stay. Walking is also an option but the parks are a little bit further away so be sure to remember this when you look at the total amount of walking you will be doing each day. There is not a Water Taxi at the Cabana Bay resort, just shuttle buses.
Room Key Payments
Leave your cash and credit cards in the room. Another nice feature of staying at the Cabana Bay Resort is that you can use your room key for purchases around the resort and Universal Theme Parks. Be sure to set this up when you check-in if you want to use this easy method of payment.
