If they can buy one of the hotels between the WnW plot and the I4, they could have a direct road going between WnW hotel and the curent resort.
Universal City indeed.

Universal City is Hollywood not Orlando, but I get what you’re saying.
Somebody here made an interesting point about that a while back in the Dry n Tame thread, I think. Something about how the DnT hotel(s) with its huge capacity, lower pricing, and "on-site" amenities, could likely pull many people away from the neighboring hotels, making it easier for Uni/Comcast to buyout some of those hotels at lower prices. And the expansion continues... It'll be interesting to see if any of that plays out long term.
I think there’s a subsidiary with the name that bought some land, but they don’t call it that anywhere guest facing.
A bit of a shame that it'll miss the Summer season, but I'd rather them give their selves enough time to get the place absolutely ready to go, rather than a rush like the openings of Volcano Bay and Sapphire Falls. Hoping that's what they're doing here.
I wonder if it won't open before August. I found the tweet below from this time a year ago of the Cabana bay towers and they aren't too far off where Aventura is now. I believe the Cabana Bay towers opened in May if not earlier. Granted Aventura is a lot bigger and has more infrastructure, restaurants, etc. where the CB towers were just rooms. But I don't see that its another 3 months worth of work. I really think the August timeline was just a safe date, and they will open whenever they are ready.
If they thought they would be ready before, you bet your ass they would be selling those rooms.
Aventura will have 50% more rooms than the CBBR towers plus like you said, you have all the extras like restaurants, lobby, pool and training. They could maybe be playing it safe so they don't have a mad rush again like they did with VB and SF.
I think they started hanging glass on Aventura earlier in the build than they did at CBBR towers.

It's that time of year again to start looking at flights and hotels and this appeared.

Why would one want to leave the Portofino Bay or the hard rock to hang out in Aventura? It seems like a pretty weak come on.
Right, but the come on is that you could use the lounge from any other hotel. That was my question.
Ah, I gotcha now. Yeah, with the location it makes no sense unless you are staying at Aventura. If it was at Hard Rock, I could see you taking a break from the parks there maybe. But at the rest of the hotels, not worth going out of your way for free coffee and snacks.
It kind of sounds like you’ll get a free breakfast as well but if you’re spending the money to stay at the more expensive hotels, why would you want to go else where?
I think Virgin will eventually have something similar to their Disney Springs check in. Drop your bags off and go to CityWalk for your last few hours before heading home.
