Will there be bus service available to the parks from the hotel?

Bus service to the parking hub, just like they have for the other resorts.

Will there be a boat also? Or just a walkway? Can't wait to hear more news about this resort.

No boats for Cabana. The waterway does not reach this hotel.

Just a looooong walkway...

Have they started work on the bridge and new walkway?

Construction hasn't started yet, but permits for the project were filed in the middle of last month. Here's the description from the permit:

Proposed 10' Wide Garden Sidewalk; Provide a pedestrian walkway from Turkey Lake Road to Universal City Walk. Walkway includes, but not limited to: Pedestrian bridge, site lighting, benches, shelters, trash receptacles, and landscaping.

Plan review is ongoing, with the most recent comments made yesterday.

Here's a link to the master permit for the project:

More importantly, have they started on the lazy river yet

 

[MrRoamer]

I know it would never ever happen, but I would so love to see the lazy river have a fork in it and end in the back of Popeye or some other raft ride. That would be such an amazing way to enter the parks!

You don't want to be swimming in the Popeye water.

Goodness, I am not sure if I can handle how slowly Universal is moving on each of their construction projects. :look:

 

[Felipe]

Anyone know when they will open up booking for the hotel?

 

[momto3girls]

Love the pictures!!! Very excited to see the progress and as a family of 6, I find the suites very appealing as well as the recreational options.

Does anyone know if they will charge for parking at this hotel as well? We always drive to Orlando and I like being able to park close to our room (with 4 kids, it makes getting to and from the car so much easier), but also hate having the charge for parking at the end of our stay. I could even handle a smaller charge, but the $15 (or whatever it is up to now) at the other hotels, really starts to add up and I would much rather spend that money in the parks!

You can almost bet on that they will charge that same fee It does sucks but a lot of other hotels around town are starting to hit people with a "resort" fee so starting to become more common
