Dockside is going to not only have Pizza for room service, you'll be able to get a Bucket of Chicken and Waffles, and 2 sides delivered to your room for $25.

Let us know what you think about the Mango Blonde Ale. And which is the better lobby bar, Swizzle or Sunset?

Is the whole resort open or just the north tower?

It'll be interesting to see over time if a preference develops between Surfside and Dockside - I can see positives for both. Seems like it might be easier to walk to things south on I Drive from Surfside (if you walk through the garage); I'm guessing they made it very difficult to get to that 7-Eleven by Red Lobster from Dockside.

Dockside's got Chicken and Waffles, so no contest:

I-Drive Access is ridiculously limited at both properties. There is a room key only access gate near the intersection at both properties, but the last time I was at Surfside, the gate was dead bolted (even a key wouldn't open it). The garage has an emergency exit staircase that drops onto I-Drive (that is hard to find), but it doesn't grant entry. The only reliably open spot is the Gate that is pretty far down Universal Blvd.
Personally, I prefer the look of Dockside, but the location/layout of Surfside.
Surfside is the smaller resort and I imagine the facilities won't be as crowded. But Dockside offers an indoor bar. So yeah.
