Volcano Bay at Universal in Orlando

Has anyone been there yet? Did you like it? Was it super crowded with huge long lines to ride on anything? I'm trying to figure out what we are doing for the day next weekend until our flight leaves at almost 11pm. I'm not sure if I want to go to a waterpark though without having an actual room to change in after!

Re: Volcano Bay at Universal in Orlando

I was just there this past week with my daughter. Honestly, I didn't love it. We stayed at Cabana Bay which was wonderful, we were able to walk to the water park. Its been so rainy down there lately so we opted to go the one sunny day we had (along with everyone one else in Orlando apparently). Getting in to the park was a mess, we sat in a huge disorganized queue for 45 mins until we could be let in. They give you a wrist watch kind of device called a Tapu Tapu so you could wait in a "virtual line" for rides you want to go on, that worked pretty well you can also use it to pay for things like food and drinks at the park. There was a kiddie area with lots of slides that my daughter enjoyed until some kids pooped in it and it had to be closed 2xs. We were there for about 3 hours but I wish I had just saved my money and hung out at the hotel pool instead.

Thanks!! and boo! But your review seems to be consistent with other reviews that I have read! We are just going to hang at the hotel pool. We are staying at Portofino Bay, but I read we can use any pool in any resort there, so we might try some others.
