It does look like the benefits section on the website matches all of the other hotels, so I would think that you're good.

Holy crap, how did I just notice that there are two towers at Dockside haha

 

[JPRA513]

Wonder how much that little Best Western by the second tower has once this opens completely....

I'm assuming there will be a back door road onto Kirkman Road for EU opening.

Hopefully we get a media update on the resort soon. Lots of generic "food court" and concept art still on the website.

Anything special about Dockside in comparison to Surfside? Or is it largely more of the same?

Dockside will be much larger so more strain on the infrastructure. But it’ll also have a lobby bar and be slightly cheaper.

I had always assumed they would be the same price.

Are they being run as two separate resorts?

They’re the same resort as much as Port Orleans is one resort. Checking online I was mistaken, they both start at $79 for a standard room and $120 for a suite but in practice I see dockside a few bucks less than Surfside.

I think part of it likely has to do with the views from the rooms are of pedestrian areas almost all the way around. Surfside sort of made it so a good percentage of the rooms were inward facing or looking out at the water, which calls for a bit of a price increase.

While similar, I kinda like the design at Dockside better. Plus its bigger, and hotel lobby bar. Likely where ill be staying from here on out although Surfside was also lovely. Glad Universal added these 2 hotels.

Is there a media preview planned? I can't remember.

Dockside is definitely the nicer of the Endless Summer resorts. The lobby is quite nice for a value resort.
