Booked $139.000 Club @ RP!

[CPM]

Well, I did it! I called the 800 -UESCAPE # & was able to get the $139.00 club level rate at Royal Pacific! Loew's had no idea what i was talking about but the lady at this # was very helpful & found some dates I could go, seems as though the weekends were sold out at that rate. So I'm going Aug. 5-8! :) Anyone else going that week?

[RLMS56]

What a great rate. Thanks for the info.

[Robinrs]

You GO, Cheryl!! I was just telling Michael that we've GOT to back in the summer to use up these APs! I was planning on July at the open but if I even MENTION that you guys are going, August will be the dates!

And I SWORE up and down I would never be caught dead in Orlando in the summer.... :rolleyes:

That is an awesome rate, BTW! I sure hope the Royal Pacific is a good match to it's predecessors!

[pathubia]

Yippee!!!!!Robin I just saw on your little temp. thingy that it is 75 degrees in Orlando!!!!!

It just stopped snowing here in Boston.

16 more hours until the plane takes off!!!

Patty

[A Mickeyfan]

Hey Cheryl I will be there from Aug 1-6th. Our paths will cross for one night! Maybe we can meet up...anyone else gonna be there???:smooth:

[Robinrs]

Wow, have a great trip, Patty!! It will be about 40 degrees warmer than CPM's and my trip... but I'm sure by August even that will sound good!

[pathubia]

Thanks, now thinking about upgrading our passes to AP and maybe well be there in august too.

Patty

[Robinrs]

Something about having that pass that makes it so much easier to book more and more dates.... it's truly dangerous!

[RobinLyn]

I also got the $139 a night rate for a Club level room for 3 nights, August 22-25, 2002, at the Royal Pacific Resort. First time to US/IOA, then heading to WDW for 4 nights at YC. Hoping our 2 teen boys will like US/IOA, what do you think?? We love WDW!

RobinLyn:cool:

[WebmasterBarry]

Robin, bring down Michael too! You can have a romantic dinner with Spider-Man and I will take him on a Hulk marathon ride. We will ride the Hulk until one of us collapses! :)

BTW, try & get the rate, you can always cancel;)

have fun Patty, the weather is supposed to be beautiful all week! I'm unfortunately flying out of MCO to PVD Friday night to be with my FIL in Boston :(. Sounds like you'll be at the airport the same time as me!

I'd love to meet up! Although breakfast is not a great time to meet you with me :( just ask Robin ;)

[boudreaux0]

How are you guys getting that $139 rate for club level. I am going in July and might try to book

[CPM]

As far as I know it was not available in July, but it's a fan club rate & I called the 800uescape #.

[RLMS56]

Do you have to give them a fan club number to get the rate? I know you need the card and will be getting one however I dont' have it in hand yet.

[Julieee960]

This is a fantastic rate. I also booked at the RP for July. Our rate is $99 a night. I'm not a fanclub member but got the ET rate. I needed 2 rooms, so for us it's a good deal.:pinkbounc

[RobinLyn]

No, RLMS, you don't have to give them a card number, there is no number on the card anyway (not the one I have). You just have to show your Universal Fan Club Card at check in, so call now!! 1-800-837-2273 and good luck. I got the $139 rate for end of August 2002.

RobinLyn:D

[RLMS56]

Thanks! Is that rate for a standard room? I was quoted $125 for a standard garden room w/Entertainment card.

[RobinLyn]

We got the $139 rate for the Club Level, August 22-25, 2002 at the Royal Pacific Resort! We have never been to US/OIA, so we are excited and happy with the rate. It gives us a club room on the 7th floor of the convention center tower. Does anyone know which building the convention tower is or will be if not done yet?

RobinLyn:)

[Mike J]

We just booked the Royal Pacific club level for $139 for October 23-26, 2002. It is a great deal for that level.

Mike

[Mike J]

We changed our dates. We are now staying at the Royal Pacific over Turkey Day, 11/27-11/30, still at the $139 club level rate.

[Mike J]

I was surprised too. I first tried for Christmas week into NYE but no dice. Turkey week was our second choice and I'm glad we got in at that rate. Hoping for warm weather now!

Mike

[Reflection]

I also got the $139 (have fan club card) rate for club level. Even the reservationist was suprised that this level room was available at this rate. We (daughter and I) will be there from 8/24 to 8/27.

I can't deny it.... arrived on the Cape in 89, originally from NY

Hey.... I am from the Cape too.....been here since 1991 from NY Let's go for a Fort Myers Turkey Conv!!!:pinkbounc

Sharon, why wait that long!! When I get back from my cruise lets meet up for lunch or early evening!
So how about it all from Ft. Myers or The Cape (not Cape Cod!), it took me awhile to get used to the Cape not being Cape Cod!
I am back in town Feb.10th.
But I'm still going to try for the Turkey weekend too ;)

[beattyfamily]

Right now I'm booked at $99 Standard view. Is the Club level really worth $40 more a night?

What's the deal? Free snacks? Anything else? Is the room nicer and a better view?

Thanks in advance!

[Mike J]

Let's see :

The club level is on the 7th floor. It has a continental breakfast, snacks and drinks through the day, evening reception having food of some type, beer, wine. Private concierge, 24 hour room service, robes to use during your stay. Did I leave anything out? :)

Hope this helps :)
Mike

[beattyfamily]

Wow, that was quick!

Thanks for the info!

So what about the room? Is it basically the same as a regular standard room?

Also, the Universal website states that RP's club rooms are on the 7th floor of the "convention center tower". I wonder what that means. Does that mean it's not in the main hotel buidling?

Thanks again!

Well, I figure I usually spend $30.00 on breakfast for the four of us. Then it's nice to come back for a snack & drink in the afternoon. I have only done club at The swan, nad they even had bottled waters you could take with you in the afternoon so it was wel worth it. I'll give it a try this once & see if it is. But it's unlikely that this rate will be available long so I'm taking advantage of it! :)

[Mike J]

Yes it is the same as a regular, just on the 7th floor. I'm not sure what building the convention center tower is. We were down at Universal in October and the hotel is huge. I'm sure the room and club level will be as nice as the Hard Rock.

Mike

[Mike J]

I have some pictures of the Hard Rock club level I can post. I just need to find them. That way you can get an idea of what to look forward to.

Mike

[beattyfamily]

Well, I just switched over to the Fan Club rate of $139 for "Club Level" rather than the Entertainment rate of $99 for a standard room.

He also told me it's private key access thru the elevator, daily newspaper and turn down service and that the evening reception is from 5 - 7. He also mentioned all the other things mentioned here.

I'd love to see pictures of the HRH's club level, thank you!

Thanks for everyone's help.:D

[Mike J]

No problem! I am working on an MSN community page now. If someone else has other links with pictures, feel free to post it in the meantime.

I am up for that- days when the kids are in school are best for me, or why not have a family meet at the waterpark when it opens in March?

(I haven't seen big Barry yet but I bet he'd make quite a splash on the Electric Slide!)

school days are best for me too but I think Sharon works at a school. I have to think about the water park thing because I don't usually go to them I was at Six Flags NE when someone died & I can't get myself to go back to one.
I've been on the look out for Barry myself!
What about lunch at an outdoor cafe maybe at Bell Tower or downtown?

[A Mickeyfan]

Let's meet up...I do work in the school system though so school days will be hard for me....what if we meet at The Disney Store (LOL) in the Mall or something or maybe Lakes park (but that is kind of big to find people that we have no idea of what each other looks like).....say on a Friday evening...we can bring our kids & get them to all meet too!! I don't want to wait for Turkey day....or March...tell me when & where & I will get there!!!! (just not during school hours :confused: )

[WebmasterBarry]

I'll be in Orlando on 2/10. :(

If CPM pays for lunch, I will go. :)

Beware, I am hard to find. I like to hide behind short people. Just ask Robin!

[suzysezso]

I'm only 5'2 but probably wide enough for you to hide behind Barry!
I'll be at MGCon too- In fact we'll be there 2/7-2/11...
but I just don't anticipate staying together with the group too much because of the logistics with my son & not being able to stay at the HRH this time. We will definately be at the Mythos lunch and I told my daughter I would try to convince MIB9 to shoot a round with her gun so she could have her pic taken with 999999 on her birthday, but other than that I have to play it by ear.
- Sorry about your bad water park experience CPM -trust me Sunsplash is no Six Flags, but I think I like the mall idea better anyway LOL!! I guess we'll have to work out the details for meeting via email.
:smooth:

Lakes park might be nice, maybe a picnic or something. Think Barry will play with all our kids while we chat???

BTW, I heard a friend of mine ran into you once in the back of the HULK, she noticed your DIS T-shirt! She lives in NJ & I can't seem to run into you in FM!

[CPM]

BTW, since this is still the RP $139.00 thread. i booked club level for Wed.-Sat. turkey weekend! Actually I booked six rooms, in hope my whole family will come on down! :)
We should start a Fort Myers/ Cape Coral thread!

[suzysezso]

WOW I thought I was a sport when I booked 4 rooms at the Best Western in North Fort Myers for my brothers this past Thanksgiving!
How do I get adopted into YOUR family?:tongue:

Guess I'd better look into booking for that week too before the good rates are gone. That was the new Royal Palm correct? The one that should have the new Emerils up and running by Turkey day...(drool)...?
:smooth:

BTW, I just booked them, Dad's paying for them & he hasn't done that since we were kids!:rolleyes:

[pathubia]

I just booked the RP for Oct 23-26 at the ent rate of $109 per night for pool view. Probablay going to stay on one of the Disney Resorts for the 19 to 22. Cant wait to check it out.

Here are some pictures of the Hard Rock club level. Once in the MSN community, click on the Hard Rock link on the left. Some of them are kinda fuzzy but you will get the general idea.

I guess that came from the same part of my brain that makes me keep thinking of the Portobello Hotel... (envisoning mushroom cabanas by the pool...)
:smooth:

[Minnie's Guy]

Just called this morning. The funny thing is that the operator offered me three different views- $139 for a standard-- $139 for a pool view and $139 for a club level room !!! It was too funny !! I guess they have so many rooms at each level for certain dates. Guess which one we took !!- DUH. Club level sounds awesome !! Can't wait to try this new resort !!

Thanksgiving weekend is out for me. My husband works for Gannett (newspapers) and connot get off that weekend. It is the papers busiest weekend (all the sales). I don't want to leave him home alone on Thanksgiving?!?!? (or do I LOL). Maybe I will see about going Fri-Sunday instead?? I am going to call to see what dates area open for the $139 (or the $99). Wish me luck....

Sharon, you should be able to get Friday - Sunday! BTW, I leave my DH home a lot, he runs the convention center & has to work lots of weekends, so I just got used to going w/o him. But Thanksgiving, probably not.

[A Mickeyfan]

I usually do leave him home.....he comes with us maybe 2 or 3 times per year & that is it...but didn't really want to leave him on Thanksgiving.....the kids do...they want the room key to bypass the Thanksgiving crowds..........

[CPM]

Hey let dad stay home with the Turkey all we want is the "ROOM KEY"!!!!! LOL

[A Mickeyfan]

booked it for Wed-Sun on Turkeyday weekend. We got the Club level at the RP for $139! My 13yr old went as far as saying she would eat at McDonalds on Turkeyday just to go that entire weekend LOL!! Figured if worse came to worse I could always cancel up to 5 days prior...but couldn't always get the room/rate up to 5 days prior....:)

[RLMS56]

What are the food offerings at HRH club level?

[Mike J]

Last time we stayed on the club level they offered, cereal, fruit, donuts, assorted pastries, bagels, toast, juices, milk, etc in the morning, in the evening they had deli sandwiches one night, some kind of chicken dish another night, and fresh baked cookies for snack around 8-9pm. Beer, wine and mixed drinks (make your own) were available during the evening layout. This was about a year ago when the hotel first opened.

Mike

[Tink10]

I just want to thank you all here for all of the info......I just booked the Club Level at the RP for the $139 rate (August 3-11).....Needless to say, I'm so thrilled. We are going for my daughter's birthday and she will hopefully love this resort....(She's not a Hard Rock type of kid)......Thank You All Again!!!

[RLMS56]

I called about the club level with the entertainment but it is not available for my dates (6/30 - 7/3). Does this change a la WDW?
Should I keep calling?

[A Mickeyfan]

Tink10 when is your daughter's birthday. My daughter will be 14 on Aug 9th and we are staying from Aug1-6th which is her birthday trip! Cheryl will be there then too (she arrives on the 6th)....Maybe we can do a meet???:)

[yoopermom]

Had hemmed and hawed over this (staying at FW with our motorhome the ten days after), but just had to go for it. Got Aug. 1-4 (July 31 was not available). Soooooo excited!
Terri the Yoopermom
(who will miss the Hard Rock, but can still resort hop for the pool)

[Mike J]

RLMS56,

Did you request the entertainment rate or the fan club rate? The fan club rate is the one for $139, not the entertainment rate.

Mike

[yoopermom]

ask to have each day checked for a one day reservation ONLY with fan club discount at the club level, then, when she found one day (Aug 1, in my case) had her add one day at a time until we had the amount of time I wanted. It helps if you can be flexible with your check-in day. I have to repeat, again, how wonderfully helpful the person on the phone was (as opposed to CRO, no comment on my travails with them this week!), totally professional and kind, not rushed, and knowledgable. Good luck!
Terri the Yoopermom

[RLMS56]

The fan club rate for club level was $209 for my dates 6/30 - 7/3.

[Tink10]

Hi A Mickeyfan.....

We don't have any "set in stone" plans for our trip except for 8/5 when we're doing Discovery Cove at Sea World......A meet soungs great!!!

[singitalto]

Fan club rate was $229 for my dates. I wonder when the price goes up? Anyone know?

[CPM]

I would guess that even when they offer a rate such as the $139.00 club rate, they only have a certain amount of rooms available at this specail rate then they start to sell the rooms at a higher rate.

[RLMS56]

I originally booked at the Entertainment rate for 6/30 - 7/3 at the rate of $1565 for a deluxe room. 6/29 was not available with the entertainment but I did get the fan club rate of $181.

[autumnblue]

It appears that I found this thread to late. I'm being offered a regualr room for $139. I guess I could keep trying>

Autumn

[TracyK]

I have just booked a standard room for August for $139 (fan club rate). Has anybody managed to get a Club level for $139 recently?
Tracy

[RLMS56]

I was quoted $191 with the All Access card.
