And we should expect some upgrades to Unis bus terminal because cabana bay still has a temporary looking stop.
I thought the same with Cabana Bay. Cabana Bay Cold have many more rooms if it weren't for the surface parking. But for some reason in Orlando Surface parking is almost like a must with new developments.The parking spaces around the lot don't make much sense to me considering the sizable garage.

As far as a bus stop, there is a cutout on the bottom right before the entrance which looks to have a walking path, gate access and a pad for a covered waiting area. I am assuming this will be one of two stops to cover both hotels so I am thinking they would just drive down Universal Blvd versus turning in to each resort.

I agree. My point was about putting as many rooms as possible for the height they decided to top out at.I think they hit the target number of rooms they wanted. They could have built taller if they wanted but I think the resort is in perfect proportion for what it is.
One more small update. Plans were filed with the SFWMD today, so we can now see exactly what they plan on building on the water park side of the site. Not surprisingly, it looks exactly like the concept art released and very similar to the initial documents filed with the City of Orlando. I've also included a brief overview of the project from the geotechnical report.
I don't see a bus stop location. Unless they just intend on using the lobby entrance area.
Based on everything there, it pretty much has to be the lobby area, in the garage, or that yellow loop at the left . The busses would have to enter at the South East off Universal. After picking up guests, they would want to turn right on International Blvd. They could be putting a traffic light at the traffic light at Universal, but it still would slow them down on exit.

Anyone know if these hotels will have any full service restaurants? Or just a cafeteria type thing?
It'll likely be like Cabana and offer cafeteria/quick service only.
The I-Drive edge of the property is going to be a parking garage. They don't want guests to even know I-Drive is there.I could maybe see it if only to get people off I Drive into the hotel to see the place and maybe when they return to stay there instead and get them sucked into the staying on site at Universal bubble.
It could also make the place seem a little higher end. A small pro to outweigh the con of being outside the resort.

also @Disneyhead and @Mad Dog (even though you'll never stoop low enough to stay here ).. swim-up pool bar?!
They will need bigger parking lots if they do that!Finally, the SNL Bar will open!
The hotel towers are well taller than the parking garage. They aren't hiding a 400" Ferris Wheel and a 420" Star Flyer.The I-Drive edge of the property is going to be a parking garage. They don't want guests to even know I-Drive is there.
