So, what do you do for Father’s Day if you aren’t into sweating through your clothes on a golf course in the middle of June? How about a lazy river, and relaxed atmosphere to match? Universal’s Cabana Bay Resort Orlando has a retro laid back surf and beach theme combined with modern conveniences that make for a great family friendly getaway.
The location, just across the street from Universal Orlando with all the Harry Potter you could want is an obvious bonus. Cabana Bay is much more than just a place to sleep between roller coaster rides. You can have a great time at the resort, too. The family suite is large enough for six, has two TVs, and a full kitchen if you want to bring some things along. If not, they have you covered downstairs. There is a large food court with a variety of restaurants from every day American favorites, to international awesomeness like sushi and Brazilian beef. There is also a Starbucks if you need a caffeine fix.
Still think golfing in the Florida heat is the ticket? How about a comfortably air conditioned bowling alley instead. Your kids can watch you destroy the pins while enjoying old school bowling alley food favorites like hot dogs and chips covered with nacho cheese. The only thing missing is the smell of stale cigarette butts as that little detail from the old days has been left out. Don’t worry my nicotine addicted friends, they have designated smoking areas outside.
Is your arm sore from crushing bowling pins, but you’re not done showing your kids that you’ve still got it? Wife, hold my beer. It’s time to go upstairs to the arcade. You will find the perfect balance of modern and classic games for everyone to enjoy. When you’re done racking up Pac-Man points it’s time to hit the pool. The lazy river and pool bar are personal favorites, but a traditional boring pool is available if you don’t like the thrill of crashing into strangers for no reason. Hey, it’s a Universal Studios vacation resort so it’s all about the kids. You get to have fun being one of them until you check out. If you are looking doe a low key but lots of family fun location in Orlando, check out Universal’s Cabana Bay Resort Orlando.
Happy Father’s Day!
