Without a doubt, 2012 has been a big year for Universal Studios. With the opening of the new Despicable Me ride, a new parade, and a spectacular fireworks show, there's plenty to see and do even for long-time park fans. The Universal Orlando Resort shows no signs of slowing down and has now announced the opening of a new resort, slated for 2014. Could these additional 900 rooms and 900 suites be opening up to make room for a new onslaught of visitors coinciding with the as-yet-still-rumored Harry Potter expansion?

The resort will be built off Hollywood Way and Turkey Lake Road. For non-Floridians, that's over by Islands of Adventure. The Cabana Bay Beach resort will offer value-priced accommodations to suit any family's budget. The resort is to have a vintage road trip theme that hearkens back to quaint cross-country trips of days gone by. Will you be booking a vacation for 2014 to check out these new digs?
