Cabana Bay Beach Resort

i bet this bridge would look amazing after all the plants have had some time to grow up. I really thought that the bridge was going to be painted though instead of left the natural concrete color?

Now the real question is... how long does it take to get to..let's say.. CityWalk from the bridge?

Thanks for posting. Goodness I hate flickr as one cannot embed or directly link to anything.

Yea you can. I do it in the photo threads all the time.

Well, it certainly doesn't work when one is drinking wine... so there. :smiley:

It looks like apx. the same distance as Portofino to CitiWalk. If that is the case it usually takes us 15 to 18 minutes (depending how fast we walk) to make it to CitiWalk from Portofino. Just a guess though.

The walk from Portofino to is about a mile I believe...so if they're the same distance, yeah, it'd be about how long it takes you to walk a mile.

I had to guess at where the walkway crosses over the river, but here is my exact measurement in google earth, path and result.

So basically a half a mile. (unless I screwed up the path royally)

U have to account for the ramps on either side of the bridge. That adds some considerable distance that probably bumps it closer to a mile.

*wince* While you are sharp to think of the ramps (which I did not) I will give you a tenth of a mile for the ramps and absolutely no more.

Awesome news, thanks! Does anybody have a map of where this walkway is? I'm curious to know exactly what it will look like from an overhead/map view.

It's entirely reasonable that half of the length of the entire walk is in ramps. :bang:

That's a bridge?! If I hadn't been following the construction of this I would have thought those were pictures from a park.

You can see the map and lines a few posts above your post. Back a page from here and scroll up... dats where it is.

Oh I see the map now. It's honestly not as far as I thought. To me it looks like a shorter walk than the Portofino. Definitely shorter if you are walking to IOA.

One the OU peoples posted a great pic of the ramps on twitter today. I estimate the length both ways is about 250' for a total of 500'.

btw, 500' is approximately 1/10 of a mile. :wave:

Another OU twitter pic. Why is half of this directional sign left empty with a blank arrow circle??? Hmmm.

Or you can just take the steps.

Exactly, and I would.

And just in: This video from @TouringPlans (@skubersky) of the new garden walk. It's really excellent.

^ I was going to ask where is Kubersky when you need him a while back, but I always forget how to spell his name.

I wonder what the diamond shaped spray paint markings on brand new sidewalk indicate at around 4:35?

Also I don't know if y'all know this tip, but if you opt into the HTML5 video player you can adjust the playback speed. (click the gear for the settings) http://www.youtube.com/html5
