Unsure if these have been posted at all, thought it was nice to have a good idea at the comparable room sizes.

For both Surfside Inn and Dockside Inn;

Just to exhibit how huge the 'standard Portofino' Bay rooms are, they have 450 sq. ft. , slightly larger than a suite here.....big price discrepancy though

Will this resort get early park access?

I just love that they're doing the two bedroom suite at a price that doesn't make my wallet want to cry. Pricey, yes, but for onsite, very reasonable to me.

They’ve moved up the date twice they must be confident in offering a finished resort then.

I gotta say - other than some exterior work on the poolside and lobby, it does look close to finished. Lights were on in all the rooms the other night, and I saw decor.

Good to see they’ve learned from Sapphire Falls opening debacle.

It helps when you're not doing an all-out theme, I'm sure. Not as much stuff that needs to go in and be coordinated, I'd imagine.

Then again, the 2 bedroom will "feel" bigger than the standard room in Portofino. Anyone who has shopped apartments knows that layout trumps square footage heavily when they are +/- 10% in size difference.

If Surfside construction is really going this much faster than expected then it wouldn't surprise me to also see the opening of Dockside phase 1 moved up to around spring break 2020.

I’d say they wanted to get to a point where it could open as close to the Hagrid opening as possible. Will give them more on-site choices over the summer season too.

They're certainly going more like Sapphire Falls on their lobbies now with them being big and open.
It's not as intimate as their old lobbies, but they are easier to navigate; especially for first time guests.

Love the pics, thx for the write-up Brian. For the price, the quality of the rooms and hotel itself is fantastic. Seemingly, my only criticism on this hotel is the lack of a water slide. I think they really missed the boat there with this likely bring a draw for families based on room size and price.

It doesn’t scream value resort to me and I love that. All Stars should be ashamed.

I really like the rustic wood accents.
