Saw this on TV and some web ads, it's on YouTube now. Really well done and creative ad campaign for all of UOR.

It's very simple, yet extremely effective. Excellent job to the Marketing department on this ad.

Excellent. Kudos to the Marketing/Advertising people. :thumbsup::toast: They've been running that here in western Pa. With an ad like that, you don't really need a new attraction to advertise with it, it's that good.

Great ad. The only thing that bugged me is that she was sailing away from the JP gate but that's minuscule. Kong pressing snooze was adorable.

The on site hotels are a great selling point that don't ever seem to get the attention they deserve.

You're now a Believer on Universal on site hotels. Like I originally told you, once you stay onsite at Universal, you can never go back to the old ways. :thumbsup:

I credit you more than Universal for getting me there to begin with. You commission cheque should be in the mail.

I wonder if Endless Summer will be able to capture the same magic. It’s just that wee bit further away without nothing at your doorstep.

But if they can capture people like they did with me, the other hotels should benefit as people will want more.

I think Endless Summer will work OK since Universal's bus system is very customer friendly, plus the hotel looks like it will have the feel of a real resort. It looks like a really good financial deal for families with kids since the suites are very affordable.......Seems like Disney and Universal are really going in opposite directions on the visitors they want. Disney is accentuating the high middle class to wealthy class consumer. Not many new affordable options with price creeping upward on all their hotels. Universal is going in the other direction. Where they were previously top heavy with Deluxe Resorts (which incidentally are way more affordable than Disney's Deluxes), Universal's new room stock are very value oriented and are not much money more than inferior off property resorts. Interesting.

Disney seems like a high end night club and Universal is a house party.

I think Endless Summer will be similar in feel to when Cabana Bay opened, it's a similar distance to the parks on a bus but has no chance of walking. Cabana Bay now has the advantage of having Volcano Bay next door. Being on I Drive will have it's benefits however as it allows people to feel a little less trapped and can escape the bubble with shops and more moderately priced restaurants near by.
