Thanks. Guy who checked us in at Royal Pacific said “if the line gets long they close it early” but I was hoping that’s no longer the case. We’ll give it a try!

Probably should have asked this before I was sitting here eating at the Three Broomsticks, but what has been the recent closing times of Hagrid’s? Is it closing with the park? We’ve got an 8pm close tonight with a current 120min wait. I’d love to jump In line around 6 or 7pm, but didn’t want...

I had an “incident” at Aulani in Hawaii where I came off a slide at the perfect angle and speed that burst open my “waterproof” case and ruined a phone. Unlikely to ever happen again but I’ve been burned once!

Leaving them in the hotel is not really an option as we have a large multi-generational group traveling on a (literally for half the people) once in a lifetime trip. So phones will be critical for photos and videos. Also, some of the members of the party won't do slides all day so if they...

Without a locker first thing, what’s the strategy for phones?

All great points. And we'll see what happens in the future. I'm coming from a background of building business cases for the amusement industry and having done some of that work for waterparks, expansions were always a tough sell (again, unless it was a locals park and/or the sole business...

Expansions to water parks are a hard sell as investments if you're a destination resort. Some detail: A new ride at a theme park is about driving length of stay, new visits, and return visits. Take Hagrid's...people will stay longer on a given day to ride it and/or extend their vacation at UO...

That's a great question. I'd go directly to the correct concierge hut. I was too nervous to go to a different hut not knowing if it was the right thing to do, or even which one was the "right" one. Given the price point, however, I'd argue (someone else in this thread mentioned it too) that...

Yes, advance cabana reservations have been re-opened for a few weeks. They've been time restricted though. Right now you can book through 9/30. People must be doing it as when I arrived at opening last Thursday all the cabanas were already marked sold out.

Sorry. I worded that poorly. It took extra time to get the cabana (unrelated to Tapu Tapu). People were walking around wet and riding slides while I was still dealing with the concierge hut. That's what I meant by it took long. Regarding the in-cabana Tapu station...for us it was simply...

Some cabana information in the review I posted here: Volcano Bay: Photos & Reviews | Page 7 | Inside Universal Forums

...continued... We got back to the cabana at 10:15am. After being at the park since 7:30 total ride count was Honu, Moana, and Puihi. I know "things happen" but I was disappointed that all our efforts to get up at the crack of dawn (it was dark as we were walking to Starbucks at Portofino)...

First of all, thank you to this forum for much of the information I was armed with while visiting Volcano Bay with my family on Thursday, August 17. I wanted to make sure to leave a review. Apologies if I forgot any details as our 2.5 days at Universal was followed by a week at WDW. Got home...

Agreed, would love to understand where these additional huts are ahead of time. Thanks.

If you don't get a response, I'll be there on Thursday and will go through the Cabana process. I'm really hoping it goes quickly. I want to take advantage of our extra 1.5 hours but I want to get settled in the Cabana so I don't pay for a separate locker. We better not waste 30 min! I'll...

Need to watch closer...Punga Racers, Ika Moana both closed as well...

I'm not sure I'd get your hopes up. That looks like a screenshot from bioreconstruct's stop motion animation of the restaurant. I think those pictures were taken days apart since the park opened (he always posts pics of where the eyes are facing). I'm thinking the screengrab was from an old pic?

I wrote the question to US and got the following back... "Once you enter the parks, you may proceed straight to the Concierge Huts inside Universal's Volcano Bay™ to check in for your reservation. An attendant will check you in and walk you straight to your cabana where you will have access to...

I reserved our cabana for our upcoming August trip back in May when pre-sales were still happening. Looks like, according to the website, they are back to doing pre-sales, but same week only (site says to call and reserve through Aug 4th). My question is about the process of getting our cabana...

Is the wording on the site new about pre-booking Cabanas through Aug 4? Found that interesting that there was an exact date. Last I checked there was no date. I wonder if they are going to do it on a week by week basis skipping the weekends. Book now through Friday. Next week it will say to...
