    • Universal’s Endless Summer Resort–Dockside Inn & Suites — 2 Bedroom Suite

      Posted at 9:13 pm by taryngirl, on April 5, 2022

      I was fortunate to be chosen to attend a training with my agency at Universal Orlando! We would be spending Monday through Friday on property, in the newest resort, Endless Summer. I was extremely excited about this stay for multiple reasons! I had never stepped foot on this property, it was new, it’s a great option for budget minded clients, and I loved the theming.

      The room type available to us was a 2 Bedroom Suite. IT WAS GORGEOUS!

      This was the view upon opening the door:

      Two queen beds were in the main part of the room. I loved the muted, beachy colors!

      To the right was a little kitchenette area with a microwave, small sink, mini fridge, coffee maker, and picnic table with chairs. The also provided coffee packets, an ice bucket, and a shelf for storage.

      Another view of the two bed area:

      Another view of the kitchenette area:

      This was a separate bedroom with one queen bed and a small closet.

      Inside the closet was an iron, ironing board, hangers and extra pillows/blankets. The safe was behind the bedroom door.

      The bathroom consisted of two different areas. A double sink with mirror was out in the main living area.

      The shower and toilet were in a separate room.

      There’s also a full length mirror!

      I loved this resort!

      At the moment, a 2 bedroom suite for 4 nights begins at $136 per night. That is so reasonable for a family to have more space than a regular hotel room! I was worried about the distance to the parks, but it was very close…just a quick bus ride away. I also absolutely loved the food here! I am dedicating a separate post just to that. The pool was huge (there are actually 2 pools at Dockside), and there were plenty of chairs to sit.

    • Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, Deluxe Studio

      We are DVC owners at Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. When we were first deciding whether or not we wanted to buy in, this is where we toured. We love the location the most, which offers a quick walk to Magic Kingdom, and the monorail to Epcot. The views of Magic Kingdom and the lake are great!

      Since there were only two of us, I booked a Deluxe Studio, Standard View. The Deluxe Studio offers spacious accommodations including a kitchenette with small fridge, microwave, toaster, sink and a balcony. It features one queen bed and a double size sleeper sofa.

      For two people this Villa is perfect. It would also be fine for a family of 3 or 4. There are some other Villas that offer a split bath or 2 bathrooms which is better for a family of 4. Our room was clean, and everything was fine! I’d definitely stay here again.

      We also checked out some of the shops on the Contemporary side. Everything was decorated for Christmas!

      We absolutely love it here and would definitely stay again!
