Dave, is the parking garage on the Turkey Lake Rd. side?

Drove by this saturday and was shocked at how far it has come and the sheer size of the buildings. Looks GREAT!

Yes.

 

[Felipe]

Yes.

Gotcha. That's probably why I didn't see it on that picture of the model, as it would be on the back side of the hotel. I've been scratching my head about that Thanks!

I've missed this picture of the model, where can I find it?

There are two pictures of it on this page http://www.orlandounited.com/forums...Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort-Coming-in-2014/page40

Yep! And the previous page (39) also has another pic of the model from a slightly different angle :thumbs:

You can actually see the parking garage on the model. It is the small rectangle on the left on the backside. It is very small for a garage. I am thinking that it may be TM Parking.

Universal is currently running a special for stays between March 31 and June 14, with the caveat that the Lazy River Courtyard and Tower Family Suites will not be ready during this time. I guess my question is what would it be like to go at this time? Is there another pool area that will be available? Will there be construction everywhere? Would it be worth it to go for the cheaper price during this time?

 

[GAcoaster]

The regular pool should be open by then.

Any one think they may announce an expansion to Cabana Bay on 12/12/13?

i wonder if that is good news on bookings for Cabana bay?

Wait so the Lazy River won't be ready by June 14th for sure? Damn.. I might just stay at one of the other 3 then for my early June trip.

Agreed. The lazy river is the thing I'm waiting on as well.

Where is this lazy river thing supposed to be happening? Thinking back to the model, I have never seen a hint of it, not even there.

If you look at the last photo from the above post, I believe it will be there in the middle of the two towers under construction.

"Can't wait to float around in the lazy river at Cabana Bay! The plans look nice. pic.twitter.com/0AQjudUckG"

When asked where he got these from, he responded:

"@OrlandoInformer was bored and did a records search for Universal City on the South Florida Water Management website http://my.sfwmd.gov/ePermitting/PopulateLOVs.do?flag=1"


That link is broken for me, though... Maybe those of you who know how to get around the SFWM website can pull up a bigger image, and maybe more goodies :thumbs:

Here you go Teebs. From these plans and the above photo it looks like they haven't started on the lazy river yet

 

[natespf]

The lazy river is on the model, you can see it next to the lower left squiggle building.

Here is a rendering:

It would be neater if it went around something or from somewhere to somewhere, but it's still something nice.

 

[Teebin]

Thanks nate! No wonder I never clearly noticed it before, as it is somewhat hidden in that model shot.

Too, there is no indication of work progressing on it in this most recent aerial. No wonder I was lost...
