Can I bring my own tube to Cabana Bay?

Can you bring your own tubes from home for the... “Can you bring your own tubes from home for the lazy river, or do you have to buy them at Cabana Bay?” Yes, your own tubes. Bring them with you, at the resort they are a little pricey.



Yes, you are permitted to bring your own inflatable tubes to Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort in Orlando, Florida. While the resort's iconic lazy river is a major draw for guests, the resort does not provide tubes for free. Instead, they offer tubes for purchase at the "Tube It" kiosk located near the river's entrance. These purchased tubes often feature the resort's logo and can be taken home as a souvenir. In 2026, many savvy travelers choose to bring their own deflated tubes from home to save on costs. The resort provides convenient air stations where you can inflate your own gear for free. However, it is important to note that very large or "oversized" novelty inflatables (like giant unicorns or multi-person rafts) may be restricted if they obstruct the flow of the lazy river or pose a safety risk to other guests. Standard-sized circular tubes are perfectly acceptable and are a great way to enjoy the retro-themed "E-ticket" water experience without the extra expense.
