I'm back from our 12-day adventure! I'm glad to be home. We had an amazing 7 nights at Pop and 4 nights at Cabana Bay.
Back to the air miles grind to save for the next vacay! I'll be on the live chat about my missing STB miles asap tomorrow. I need to get that figured out stat.
I've come to realize that each property provided a different experience.
Disney Resort (Pop) - You are in a Disney bubble, 24 hours a day. Period.
Universal Resort (Cabana Bay) - I felt like an adult on vacation. The diner/cafeteria used real dishes and cutlery. Food options were better and priced well. Their kids meals were lacking though compared to Pop. But their to-go case, snacks, drinks, etc were all lower priced. Starbucks right in the hotel. Pools were great, our section, Americana, had an actual white sand beach as well. Even after all of that, I missed having my magic band for paying for food, etc.
If you have any questions, let me know and I will gladly help.
