    Really didn’t want to be the first to point this out, but a short walk up the front carpark, there is a walkway tgat takes you to the park, and it doubles back to the sapphire falls. đŸ‘đŸœđŸ‡șđŸ‡žđŸŽó §ó ąó ·ó Źó łó ż

      Thanks Wesley, yeah I know you can use the garden walk but does add a bit of time that way I think. But, that’s probably the most sensible route and one I should have mentioned, especially if you’re staying near that side of the resort 🙈
      Hopefully be releasing the garden walk vlog at the weekend 👍

      @@jayjack-orlando8410 I watched a video on here and it said all ways to get to the parks (garden walk to sapphire boat, garden walk straight to parks, and bus to city walk parking garage) are all about 20-30min. My hubby and I found out about the bridge over to cabana when we wanted to check out their food options since sapphire was limited in what we were wanting. We stayed back in 2016 when sapphire was brand new.

      @@glennpalfrey7086 hi. we were staying at Aventura and used garden walk over to Cabana Bay and then used the bus to go back across the road. not sure if every bus does that so would be worth checking with the driver first. when you get off at Aventura if you walk across to Saphire Falls then down the stairs you will be able to catch the water taxi from there. we love the boat ride into the parks!

    Thank you for this video! I haven’t seen any other videos showing how to get from cabana to the boat at sapphire falls
it’s usually just the garden walk all the way over to the parks and even those videos are few and far between unfortunately. I love cabana bay and can’t wait for our first stay there in May. Better food options for my hubby and I. Sapphire was to limited with quick service options IMO with their Caribbean themed food in the lobby cafe (and cold sandwiches) and the pool bar with burgers. It was a nice hotel though and wonderful access to the parks by boat (Altho then they weren’t running trying to get a bus back and then fingering out how to get back to our room was confusing bc the drop bus drop off point when we were there six years ago was back by the convention center and not very many (if any) signs. I can’t wait for a video that shows the path across the bridge and to the boat bc that’s exactly what I plan on doing in May. It’ll be awesome 😎

    Hey there, great video as always. This looks like a great option aswell as the garden walk. On a side note, we're currently weighing up a package holiday to Cabana bay and have the option of either the Courtyard family suites or Tower Suites. I suspect many people would be unsure of the difference, and I believe you could make a good comparison video that would do well. Anyway, thanks for all your content on this channel and Frugal Brit. All the best.

      We stayed in the tower suite (Bayside) facing Volcano Bay, the water park next door, and we had fantastic views of the volcano and water falls, and the lazy river is just out the door. The only negatives -- I think you do pay a little more for the view and your walk back and forth from the lobby to your room is the farthest to hike.

  • @KyleBurrows83
    @KyleBurrows83 Pƙed 2 lety +2

    If you are staying in the cabana bay tower suites or the beach or bayside towers you can probably walk to Saphire Falls quicker by going through Volcano bay, passing the volvano bay bus depot then using the adventura/Saphire falls volcano bay walking path.

    0:38 Crossing the street over to Sapphire Falls is NOT pedestrian-friendly. I'm not sure why Universal made it so, but there isn't even a walk light or pedestrian crossing. Not recommended if you have small children or can't run fast dodging traffic.

    • @Redneck_Ed
      @Redneck_Ed Pƙed rokem +2

      You are absolutely correct. Crossing the street there is insane and there are signs on the sapphire side telling you not to cross. The garden walk placement is dumb and ridiculous long in comparison to the Frogger method shown in this video, but crossing the street at that intersection as shown in the vidro is dumb.

    You could have just walked the garden path and crossed over the bridge... you really aren't meant to cross that road. There's no crossing there and im sure theres signs stating " no crossing " ... i thought it was classed as Jaywalking crossing somewhere like that... im probably wrong.. but im 100% right about there being a nice garden walk where you can safely walk and cross.

    • @stargazer2019
      @stargazer2019 Pƙed 19 dny

      We stayed at sapphire falls during HHN, and if we found that boat too busy, we just walked to the royal Pacific and jumped on their empty boat. The garden walk connects all the hotels, and all amenities are shared if you're a hotel guest. They do put on extra boats to sapphire to accommodate the extra guests from Cabana Bay and Aventura, though. You dont pay more at sapphire specifically to get the boat transportation. You are paying for the added luxury that the hotel gives you. Actually, if you are staying in a villa or on I drive and you get an Uber or lyft to Sapphire, you can still use their boats. They are for universal guests, not just hotel guests... they would ask for your room key to get on board if that was the case... same with Disney... anyone can use their buses, boats, and skylines they aren't there just for hotel guests they are for all Disney guests.. but I understand your gripe.
