As Universal Orlando has switched from scares during Halloween Horror Nights to a Grinch-filled Christmas in the parks, many guests have been excited to visit throughout the holiday season!

We might be very excited to have Hot Butterbeer once again, but Universal’s thrilled to announce that another one of its resorts will have its grand opening soon!
Recently, we’ve seen Loews Portofino Bay Hotel start taking reservations ahead of its December 1st reopening. And now, a Universal team member has confirmed that Universal’s Endless Summer Resort — Dockside Inn and Suites will be opening to guests officially on December 15th!

While the resort was originally supposed to open back in March, Dockside Inn and Suites has remained closed since Universal’s initial closure. But, the value resort will open with its beach theme as well as Early Park Admission, complimentary transportation to and from the parks, and more for guests staying there.

As Universal Orlando continues to bring back previous experiences and introduce new attractions in the parks, we’ll be sure to give you a full look at what you can expect before your next trip!
