Title!

The garden walk takes you from Portofino to Cabana and vice versa, and especially at nighttime, it's a very pleasant stroll. Been making it a weekly activity, and it's a great relaxation while also getting good steps in! Highly recommend.

Yes, we do the garden walks often during our vacations. The best one is the Portofino to USF. The beauty and ambiance are breathtaking. Cabana Bay to CityWalk is pretty good also, except for one small stretch. RP is very good, and the blessing of shortness also. Generally we'll stop at the Hard Rock Butterfly Garden when walking from Portofino....And the view from the beginning of the lagoon to the Portofino buildings on the return walk is as stunning as anything you could experience in a non mountain setting.

The hidden gems of the resort by far. I wish Disney had as good of walkways to their parks.

It is a gem! The garden walk with a coffee in hand is perfect warm up to a day in the parks :)

Agreed, great walk. When staying at Cabana, I prefer the garden walk then taking the bus. It's just a really nice walk. It's been a long time since I stayed at Portofino, but that one is an amazing one (and you can stop off at Hard Rock on the way).

Yes, we often do the garden walks, especially when the temperature is comfortable. It helps to refresh the thought processes and slow the vacation down a bit. Universal does a great job on these walkways. They're much better than the ones at WDW.
