We have two kids, 7 and 5, and make regular trips to Central Florida. This has become our goto resort, especially versus over-priced Disney options. It is fairly priced and the suites with the mini kitchen help us eat in more. But the biggest draw is the amazing pool and lazy river right outside the door. Great channel, liked and subscribed!
Thank you so much for being so informative… I really appreciate the way you were able to break down each area I’m highlighting them in such a unique way… You really could be a great sales agent for Vacation and Resorts…
Yes you can use the amenities at any Universal Resort but CB is a pretty far walk to Hard Rock- you’d have to walk all the way through City Walk and on the other side of Universal Studios where Hard Rock and Portofino Bay are. You’d be better off using the amenities at the hotels closest to you: in order they’re Aventura and Sapphire Falls and Royal Pacific is also down your walking path a bit further down.
This wasn’t a honest review. This was a promotional video.. what a waste of time..... Edit... you did say full tour , i didnt see that b4 i spoke. Sorry
This is 100% our honest opinions of this hotel. This is not a promotional video. We paid for this stay ourselves and we’re not invited by the hotel or asked to create this review- nor were we told what to say. Thank you for your time watching our video.
My family is vacationing to Universal in 2025 and as we've never stayed there and there are several hotels to choose from, we wanted to find a good video review of the Dockside Inn. After watching dozens of videos, let me just say yours is BY FAR the best. This was so genuinely helpful. Really well organized, well written, you showed the stuff you were talking about, it wasn't a vlog, and you had really great good-to-knows in there! Keep up the good work! Would love to see more quality content like this.
Terrific, informative video. The only thing that needs to be fixed is the closing times. You say they close at 12pm when they should be 12am (midnight)
Only thing i dont like is that you spend so much to stay at this resort. And nothing is included. I just made reservation for 1200$ for 2nights and no food, bowling, arcade, nothing is included. U pay for 1200 or more just for the room. Amd everything else is extra charge.
Nothing is really “close” walking distance but it is the closest because it’s the first restaurant once you go through security at city walk from the walking path.
You’re genuinely the best educational RU-vidr I’ve seen, your videos are absolutely perfect in terms of content, script, pacing and information. Everyone making these types of videos would do well to learn from your style. Thanks for uploading!
Hey great video I am glad to see a younger content creator and see some so knowledgeable about the theme parks I am the exact same way. I’m 12 and I know everything about Disney plan a whole Disney vacation great video!
The kids meal seriously shocks me! That’s crazy for the price! I didn’t have a terrible experience., it was lacking the theming and I do think it was a little overpriced. Hopefully next yr it will be back in Seuss Landing.
Great video and really in depth 😊! We went to Cabana Bay in May and you really captured everything! Didn't know about the family room, so will look at that next time ☺
Just returned from Dockside 9/10 and honestly I wasn't impressed. The lobby is nice BUT way too small. Everyone is cramped and crowded that its hard to navigate. The customer service wasn't the best either. I ended up sick a couple days and the cleaning crew made so much noise, especially slamming doors.
We’re sorry to hear you didn’t have the best experience at Dockside. We agree the walls are a bit thin at Endless Summer Resort- and it sure doesn’t help if you’re not feeling well 🙁. Dockside has over 2000 rooms so it does get crowded. This is one of the reasons we prefer to stay at Surfside. It’s much smaller and feels a little more laid back. Let us know if you’ve ever stayed there. Thank you for sharing your experience- and we hope you’re feeling better! ❤️
@@WanderingWizardChannel I appreciate your kind words, especially because it’s not even your fault. Dockside was our first universal hotel experience and I am not sure we plan on returning. If we do, I will keep your suggestion in mind. Thank you!
