Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

[Felipe]

Thanks for the update, DH! :thumbs: Great pics!

I love how they've made it fit in and not stick out. It looks like part of Port of Entry and IoA. Well done, Uni!

I posted photos of the inside of IoA's Starbucks to the orlandoweekly.com blog, check my twitter for a link.

Not so much as a refurb, well a refurb to policy at the hotels. They now have free wi-fi
in all the rooms.

This is super exciting! That's the one thing I didn't like when I stayed at Disney. I had terrible cell phone service and I couldn't even send an iMessage because there was no WiFi. Staying at PBH for a night next month, excited about the WiFi.

They have added free wifi to Disney Resorts as well.

I don't remember service around Universal's resort being that great actually. And at the hotels they charge you for it.

Too bad the interior can be found at B&N.

Does anyone know how fast the free wifi is at the hotels? Free is great, but if it's such a slow network it doesn't really matter what it costs.

Disaster refurb has been extended until 1/25.

I dont think they will build another waterpark. What I think they are going to do is build another parking garage between cabana bay and Royal pacific. And completely demolish wet and wild and start from scratch.

Bit of a squeeze there with a hotel...

Whatever in the world is going on here... It's been like this for weeks, and I doubt it's just for the cold weather...

Was the statue ever put back in place after Macy's ended? It shouldn't take this long, but maybe they are doing some sort of concrete work? In any case, the statue is always removed every holiday season for Macy's and returned after. Looks as though they are still working on getting it back in place.

It was not :shrug:

He'll be added back at the end of Mardi Gras is my guess.

Might as well just take him out permanently at this rate. That'll be close to 7 months gone by the time Mardi Gras ends this year.

Am I the only one that doesn't see the point of the statue and would rather see that area paved for crowd flow? :look:

Its a nice bit of detailed landscaping and hardly a crowd bottleneck.
