It is possible to cross the street, enter the Sapphire Falls resort and use its boat transportation service. Likewise, you can continue on the walking paths from Sapphire Falls to the theme parks. To get to Sapphire Falls you’ll need to walk a half mile through the Cabana Bay parking lot to a bridge over and Orlando city street, followed by a circuitous sidewalk to the Sapphire Falls lobby.

Our Thoughts on the Cabana Bay Beach Resort

The Cabana Bay Beach Resort is a large fun resort. We love the 50’s retro theme which even includes themed 50’s era toiletries in the room!

This resort is ideal if you’ll be spending lots of time at Volcano Bay!

We do however miss the easy access to the water taxis that the Premier and Preferred resorts offer.
