Must remember to buy the entertainment book!! Do they ever sell out? Can I wait until we arrive in the US around 16th August to find one or should I order it now??

Thanks to everyone for their help.

[shpedly]

I would go ahead and order now online for the orlando book. Order at www.entertainment.com. These books are only available to purchase online or through a fundraiser, they are not available in stores that I know of.

[No11's Mom]

Was able to get Entertainment rate for 3 nights. Now we have the following at RPH:

Dec 20/21/22 - $110 Entertainment Rate
Dec 23 - $143 AAA Rate
Dec 24/25 - $197 AAA Rate

[BraveMom3]

How do you find out about the available rates with the entertainment book? Do you have to have the book in hand, is it on the website, or do you have to call the resort? I'm trying to get a good rate for June 13, 14, & 15. Thanks.

[LISALISA36]

BraveMom3,
no ,you do not have to have the book in your hand.
just call and ask for the ent.rate
it is not on the website....and they only have so many dates and rooms that they let go at a reduced rate.

[Praise2Him]

Sue in the UK: Last year our trip was in October. In June the Entertainment books went on sale and I was able to get mine for $10, instead of $25. I believe I got it through the MouseSavers site, but they were also on sale through the Entertainment Book site. Since you're going in August, I'd wait for June to order. The Orlando books do sell out, but you can buy one for any city.

[Pooh's Pal]

2 Nites..June 27th & 28th..$125.00 Water view..RPR
Can't wait!!! Ooops...almost forgot..Entertainment Rate...Got my
book through Mary's Mousesavers site also a few weeks ago.

[sheltie4]

i got HRH- for $125 for July 5,6 and 7th garden view.:teeth:

[BraveMom3]

Bummer--I haven't been able to snag any discounts for HRH (June 13,14, &15). No entertainment rate or fan club rate available. I went ahead and booked standard garden view at $229/night, but hope a discount comes up. If anyone hears of anything else available, please post. My kids really have their hearts set on HRH (they love the pool/slide), so it's the full rate if something cheaper doesn't come up. Last year I got a 2TIX code from somewhere, but don't remember where.

[No11's Mom]

What about AAA? If you don't have a AAA card, the discounts may offset the cost of a membership. Seems like the resorts have AAA discounts when they don't have any others. You might call and see if they AAA discounts available and then decide if you want to join. In addition to room discounts, you AAA card also entitles you to discounts at all the restuarants and gift shops. We've made back the cost of the membership many times over with the discounts.

[Lola1]

Have you tried Hotelkingdom.com? Looks like they have that room available for $189.00/night.

[JessicaR]

One more option would be calling the Hard Rock direct and asking about their All Access rates if available you could get the card here. http://www.hardrock.com/all-access/introFlash.asp
The card costs $24.95 and has other incentives associated with the card. I know the card can be used for free upgrades (when available).

[jmkst58]

HRH!!!! I have Nov 14-17 Entertainment Rate- $125...standard Garden View.

Has anyone been able to get discounts for 2004 yet? I tried for March 12-15 too, and I got $249 for HRH standard Garden View :eek:

[Tara8595]

I just booked on Tuesday night (March 4) for HRH Garden view for $169 promotional rate. I called for entertainment rate and was just offered it since there were no Entertainment rooms left for my dates - June 12-16. They also said you could upgrade to pool view for the same price, but I declined, just because I prefer the quiet of being away from the pool.

The only thing I can guess is that maybe that rate has a minimum stay greater than the number of nights you asked for, but it wouldn't hurt to call back and ask.

This will be my first time in Orlando doing anything other than Disney - I'm pretty excited... but Mom says I'm a traitor.... how can that be??? I'm going back to WDW 3 times this year! I just wanted to satisfy my curiousity. I'll be at Discovery Cove too for a day - can't wait!

[*123JOANNA123*]

Just got quoted $170 bayview and $180 deluxe for August 10 and 11th (Entertainment rate) at the PBH

[piglet33]

I got the $125 Entertainment Rate for Garden View - 2 Queen beds at the HRH for Oct. 18-21.

[*Fantasia*]

April 18-23 at RPH for $198 through Orbitz.com Expensive huh?!
I'm just happy that I can book this resort!! No discount..but we're going!! Wooohooo!!

[Pooh's Pal]

Fantasia: Ouch! Is that because of the Easter/Vacation Week, no discounts? Have you tried Fan Club, Entertainment, Triple A and All Access discounts? Nothing? Boy that's a killer!
Well, have a great time and REALLY enjoy the resort!!!

[netnurse31]

Just booked HRH for 8/23-8/30 pool view at 135 a night Entertainment Rate. I also booked my air with Delta from NY for 550 round trip and that includes tax! Purchased my park tickets from the Universal site, one preferred annual pass at 149.00 and 3 annual power passes at 99.00 each. Rental Car is from Alamo, Intermediate 4 door, 149.00 including taxes and fees. So that brings my grand total for 7 nights 8 days to 2204.00 including tax for 4 people. We spent that much last year going to the Jersey Shore!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[UpnorthPooh]

Booked Entertainment rate of $180.00 per + tax for a Deluxe room @ PBH for Oct. 29 thru Oct. 31:D

[*Fantasia*]

Pooh's Pal,

Yeah...maybe cause it's during Easter week. Even if I have those discount cards (I have AAA), all the hotels were sold out...so they say! I called directly to the RPH and I also called the Universal 800..they say that they are all booked. I didn't want to take the change of not getting the on-site resort so when I saw it at Orbitz...I grabed it! I didn't want to call everyday to see what they have available...I don't want to do what I used to do with Disney, calling everyday..trying to get the dates and trying to get any discounts.

I must have some kind of discount somehow...cause I got RPH waterview for $198 cause normally I think they run about $229 or something like that during my dates.

Of course this rate is still a bit steep...but oh well...the FOTL will make up the rate and that we're just steps away from the parks.

We're going to enjoy every bit of what Universal has offer! :cool:

[lUVTOGO]

We are at the HRH from Nov 7th thru 11th. We are in the Club Room for 279 a night , stay 3 nights get the 4th night free. I think it comes out to 223 a night with tax. It's our first time at Universal.

[NUHuskies#1]

8/21-8/24 $125 Ent Rate HRH
8/24-8/28 $68 DC All Stars

[No11's Mom]

Huskies - You might think about reversing the order of your stay and do All Stars first and then HRH. That's how we did it last year. After staying at All Stars, HRH seemed that much more fabulous. If we had done it the other way around, I'm not sure we would have made it through the vacation. Plus it would be so difficult to go from having FOTL to standing in those Disney lines.

Just a suggestion. Hope you have a great time where ever you are.

[nicolep91]

$125 Water View @ RPH (Entertainment Rate)
11/9/03 - 11/13/03

Now that I actually confirmed it, I'm so excited!!! :bounce: :Pinkbounc

[Turtlegirl]

Hi Nicole, That's exactly what I got-RPR for $125 water view and we're going 11/8-11/13 so maybe we'll see each other-am very excited-first time at Universal-it was the great postings on this board that made me want to go. Only negative thing is I ordered the Entertainment book on-line through Mousesavers and upon receiving it, found it expires 11/1/03 so will have to order another one prior to leaving.

[retro girl]

Does anyone know where I can get a good rate for the Royal Pacific Hotel from April 12- April 17

Holiday Inn Family Suites, RIGHT!

Retro girl: That week is quickly selling out so if you have not booked yet run to the hotelkingdom.com site for the fourth night free deal. It's up to $209 a night for a standard and $229 for a waterview, which equals approx $151 a night for the standard. For Spring Break that is not that bad....

Wow! I don't think I've ever seen a rate that low at PBH! Where did you get that from??? I wanna know!

[ozziewags]

I would like to know too.......please post how you got $136 for PBH?

[Tink10]

Thanks everyone for asking.....

I got the Portifino on Hotwire. I assume it will be a standard view room & I certainly won't expect any Lowes First benefits....But $136 a night was just too good to pass up. We had a ressie for a water view & a club room at the RPR, but I decided that the $136 rate was too good of a deal.

:p Needless to say....I'm happy!

[CDisney]

PBH deluxe pool view $209 April 13-18. Best I could do booking so late for the week before Easter.

That's a great rate! I have NEVER seen it that low. If I recall I was quoted $169.00 for the AP rate at PBH in March.
Congrats!

[karin037]

July 3-6, PBH Garden View, $155 Entertainment rate

[Loved the Magic]

How do you get the entertainment rate?

[No11's Mom]

HRH - Deluxe Queen Room 12/18-12/24, Entertainment Rate of $185.

Loved the Magic - just call the Loews reservations and ask if the Entertainment Rate is available for your dates. Sometimes they will say no if the rate isn't available for your entire stay. If they say no, ask them if they are available for any of the nights during your stay. You can book your rooms with the discount before you actually have the card. Once you make your reservations, you can get an Entertainment Book/Card from their website www.entertainment.com. Many schools sell Entertainment books as fundraisers. You might call your local schools and see if any of the school organizations are selling them. That way you could help you local school also. You will need to make sure that the book you order will have a card that does not expire before your trip. For instance, my card expires 11/1 and my trip is in December, so I'm going to have to get a new book. But I know so many kids that sell them every year, I would have to by one anyway.

Hope this info helps. Good Luck!

Here's the best part: Four of us flying from Wichita, KS to Fort Walton Beach, FL for $243 roundtrip-----TOTAL!!!!
Delta has a huge sale going right now. It's $111.50 each roundtrip ICT-VPS. I had enough miles to get wife and I Skymiles tickets for $10 each. Kids are on the $111.50 each tickets. It will be a little bit of a drive from Fort Walton Beach to UO, but it definitely is worth it to save around $600-$700 on airfare!!

[millerglass]

I made reservation for the Hard Rock last week (4/4/03) for 4 nights in August 8/17-8/20.

I asked him which form of discount would give me the best deal. I gave him AAA, Loews, Fan Club, and Entertainment. I told me that the Entertainment rate would be best. We got a Garden View for $150.00 per night.

I have reservations for Thanksgiving and the night after (so that would be 11/27 & 28, 2003). I was told Entertainment rates were NOT available during that timeperiod. I booked at Hard Rock Hotel with the Annual pass discount for $160 per night for a standard/garden view. I was told it was also $160 for the fanclub rate. AAA rate was $183 so that was definitely higher.

In summary:

HRH 11/27 & 28, 2003 (Thanksgiving) $160 garden view

[CarolynNC]

booked yesterday:

HRH garden view
$125 entertainment
7/19 - 7/23

I was really surprised when I was able to book two rooms for a stay beginning on a Saturday. My dates are flexible and I figured I'd have to start my stay on a Sunday night to get the entertainment rate. I was hoping for something earlier in the month but just couldn't come up with the right mix. I plan to keep calling to see if anything opens up. I'm eligible for just about every discount type.

I also noticed hotwire has the HRH for most days during July in the $155 to $160 range. I think the only dates I didn't get a return with HRH (or what I suspect is the HRH) was 7/16 & 7/17.

Carolyn

[cpl100]

You're post encourages me to try for a discount for my one night of July 19th!

[LynnB]

[cpl100]

I have reserved for July 19 a Garden View Room at the Portofino for $155 Entertainment rate. They also had Bay View ($170) and Deluxe ($180). I almost got the Bay View but they said the Garden View would be quieter. Do you all agree?

They did take my (new) Loews number and noted that we are celebrating my son's 14th birthday.

Any thoughts about what they may do for his birthday, if anything?

[Cmould]

July 21-25 HRH pool view, entertainment rate $135.00 per night. We usually stay at the club level but with having to get 2 rooms this time I went with the pool view. Hope we are not dissappointed.

I stayed at Royal Pacific for the first time over Memorial Day weekend and loved it!!

May 25th, 03 / Royal Pacific Garden View / $109 fan club

What a huge room!!! The walk to IOA was just a few minutes and quite lovely. FOTL was out of this world and even helpful at Mythos. Had last minute decision dinner at Emerils and loved it AGAIN!! Got my milk and cookies that night, and little gifts for my friends kids at check in. Was very pleased with service, room and staff. Not too happy about parking fee. They actually charge full valet for handicap. Overall, loved it. Would go back to HRH as a single in a heartbeat, and hope to bring a sweetheart to RPR someday.

[*Flower*]

Hard Rock Club......

Dec. 4 - 7 for $216 a night, Fan Club rate!!!

Just got back from PBH, showed up before 11 a.m. Didn't expect to be able to get a room, just wanted room keys to get FOL bennies. Not only did we get a room, we were upgraded to a suite!! Gotta love that LOEW'S card!! :teeth:

[mattkatie7]

What kind of suite did you get?

[*Flower*]

They called it a "Portofino Suite", it was a King bedded room with a living room (separate) or "Parlor" with a sofa, entertainment center, table and chairs, coffee table,easy chair, full bath, two robes in the closet. So it was 2 rooms next to each other with a connecting door, and we just left the door open between the rooms. Of course what was even better was that we'd gotton an "Entertainment" rate on the original room, so it was even less. They'd offered us a "Villa Suite" which was bigger, but could only find us one with 2 queen beds instead of one King bed. DH likes the King, so I held out for it.

We loved it, but will now be hoping for an upgrade every time we go, now! :teeth:

[mattkatie7]

WOW!

[FeeFeeWhite]

I am so glad about your upgrade! WOW - what type of Loew's card do you have?

[*Flower*]

Just a lowly Loew's Blue..... nothing special. However, I was most pleasantly surprised by the upgrade!! :teeth:

[chipscinderelly]

We just booked 2 nights at the Hard Rock for our Honeymoon and were able to get a Club Level room for 11/28 - 11/30 at $230 FAN rate. I'm going to be watching for deals, however given that it's Thanksgiving weekend and not value season there we are not hopeful for anything cheaper.

I just booked Oct 22-25 at HRH garden view entertainment card for $125 a night. The deluxe was available at $160 a night. I really want a club room with 3 kids but they said they have no rooms on the entertainment card available and the only rate she gave me was $329 a night. Does anyone know of any discounts available to get the club rate at a lower price? This is a surprise for our young teen girls and really want the club room. We're going to disneyworld after so we really cannot pay 329 a night.

[laf0165]

Try the FAN Club Rate. If they have it book it and then get the card from Tinkerbarb. I just checked the Universal reservations via the FAN Club website and the Club Level rooms for your dates are $230 per night. It's at: http://www.universalfanclub.com/Orlando/UORHotels.asp
go to the bottom of the page & click on the "BOOK ONLINE" button. Then pick the Hard Rock Hotel, then Rates & Reservations, then Check Availability. Put in your dates and preferences and where they ask for a "Promotional Code" type in
FAN. Hope this helps!

[tazz]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You just made my day. With 3 kids, an extra $100 for the club room is worth it. We'll just do a light late lunch in the park or away from the hotel and maybe one really nice dinner, the club lounge will be used for all other meals and drinks.

[laf0165]

We did better leaving the park for lunch and eating at City Walk. Ate a nice breakfast in the Club Lounge, a late & big lunch at City Walk, went back to the Club Lounge for sancks & drinks at the cocktail hour, and then had the milk & cookies at the Club Lounge. It was great! Glad I could help you, Tazz!!! Have a great time. You will LOVE the Hard Rock!

[FeeFeeWhite]

I just got a GA/FL rate of $99 at RP for 9/12-9/19, but they will not give the auto upgrade with my Gold Card. Has anyone had any luck with this yet?

[LynnB]

Just booked RPR for 9/10 - 9/14. :D $125.00 a night AP rate

[ksdave]

Hey, wait a minute!! What's with all of you people going to UO during my 9/10 - 9/15 trip!! I thought I would have the parks and pools all to myself :p .

Seriously, hope we all have some great weather, so I can do Dudley's and Bluto's over and over and over and......

[FreshTressa]

I'm jumping up and down!!

We just got the RPH for $110 for 10-27 thru 10-31 ENT rate.

They quoted 125 for water view, but we just want it for the front of line access. :Pinkbounc

[mouseclick1]

July 31-Aug 4 RPH standard view for $146 fanclub rate. I was really hoping for a better rate but there were no more ent. rates available.

**update on July 7: I was just able to switch my rate to $110 entertainment rate!

[n2mm]

We got PBH for one night, July 23, for $155 ent. rate.

[Teris]

First off,, back in April , My AAA travel agent said there were no rooms at all available for the days I wanted in August, but there were rooms at the PB,,but I really wanted to go back to the RPR. So a few weeks ago I was looking around on the Universal website, and came across the 'Universal Vacation' link, and checked it out,, and saw that I could book a room there thru them,, and in my excitement I went for the RPR club level, and I guess I foolishly am paying full price :( I have a loews first card, and booked the Mastercard thing,, but I am paying $324 per night for 3 nights! I know it's too late to change it,, but next time, I will get an entertainment book, and read the forums before I book anything,, :lol

[disneymom2one]

We tried every discount (we're FL residents and AP holders) and this was the best we could do. We were also flexible about hotels although not the dates. I'm happy though. We stayed at RPR last December and loved it.

[LynnB]

Called and switched my RPR ressie from APH rate to Ent rate. Went from $125.00 a night to $110.00. :D

My parents were able to take advantage of RPR's Fl resident rate of $99.00 for 9/11 to 9/14.

I just made my ressie last week and got the $155 entertainment rate. Pretty good with about 3 weeks before arriving. I was shocked to get any discount. PBH had the best discounted rooms available when I called last week.

[wendypooh]

I just booked my room today at the Royal Pacific from Aug.11-15 for 110.00 a night with the ent. book....... which i bought yesterday, and saw today that it was sold out............. WHEW, I just barely made it. I also had what I think are all the disc...... AP/ Military/FanClub/Loews First/ and Ent. Book........ It was by far the cheapest. Originally they told me with the fan club, which was the lowest, it would be 146.00 a night, then with the ent. book it went down........ It's our first time at any of the Univ. hotels.......... so, were excited!!!:jester:

[Mike J]

Just booked the RPR Club level for $209 p/n for 11/27 and 11/28 with Fan Club discount. She suggested I call back in a few weeks because the ENT rates may open up.

Mike

[gonna go cruising]

Just booked Portofino at 239 a night for deluxe room, including two breakfasts daily, room is for three adults one child, and that included tax. This was for mid July. I feel pretty happy about the rate after looking online at some other rates for the same place.

Did I do ok? I did call to see if fanclub rate was cheaper and it was 274 per night for same room so for some reason I did ok.

Tinkerbarb, if you read this, thank you sooo much for your help!:D

[bunnymkc]

Just booked today at HRH pool view 135 ent rate..RP & PORTIFINO ent rate was gone..glad we are at the HRH cause that was my son's 1st choice thought we would get RP for less but as I stated it was all gone for the ent rate..dates are 11/14-11/17..Marianne

[themepark]

Just booked standard room at RPR August 2 - 6 for $110 entertainment rate! Thanks to everyone here for all the great info. Can't wait!

[4greatboys]

We booked a deluxe room at HRH for $160 per night Oct 10-13.
We could have gotten a standard room for $125 but I like the extra pull out sofa so my 2 teens can each have their own bed. I just wish they had a deluxe on the club level. With the ent card its makes it reasonable.

[Back the Badge]

I have seen it mentioned here that they charge for parking!

This seems bunk if you are staying at the Hotel.

We plan on staying at RPR or HRH can anyone advise how much parking costs each day.


Thanks

[tazz]

Parking is $6 per day.

[DisneyEnthusiastic]

Just booked HRH for $125 garden view with the Entertainment card for September 11th to 14th. Can't wait to go!

[thessaly]

Thanks to these boards, just booked PBH Deluxe King for $180, Ent rate, for 9/7-9/13. (Heh... I haven't actually ordered my entertainment book yet, hope it doesn't take two months to arrive).

For what it's worth, you can see the Florida Resident rates at the official site by typing in "FLO" as the promotion code... For these same dates, Florida Resident rates were:

$149 standard/garden
$169 bay
$199 deluxe

...I was sort of surprised that this Entertainment Card thingie beat FL res rates, so I called to doublecheck, and the rep immediately assured me that the Ent cards were generally the best discounts.

Meanwhile, as an ex-Disney "onsite" purist, I'm about to go into some sort of shock due to getting a 525 square foot room (according to the lady I just spoke with on the phone) for $180. :jester:

[FeeFeeWhite]

I use to be an onsite Disney "Purist" also. Now I am a Loews Purist. I have even taken on Loews outside of Orlando now! You are going to be in heaven.

[disneybeachbum]

Thanks to all the info on this board I have booked a room at the PBH on September 7th and 8th. I have a King room with a bay view for 170 (entertainment rate).
Thanks everyone

[colemonster]

I am new to all this, how do you get all the different rates? thanks Candy!!

[dddad]

Just booked RPR for $134 on hotelkingdom.com (25% off) for August 7th to 11th. We will be in town for the DCI Drum Corps Championship and a little Universal here and there…

[ksdave]

dddad, wish I was going with you. I just spent a full week volunteering with The Cadets on the food truck and driving through KS, OK, AR, and TX. All the corps are so good this year, I wish I could be in Orlando for championships. But, we had already bought our tickets, etc. for our UO trip in September when we got re-involved in corps this year.
Hope you have a blast at UO and DCI!!

[TnRobin]

I just booked the Hard Rock - October 11 - 19 - Pool View standard - $135 - Using the Entertainment Card.

[mep319]

Deluxe room at PBH $180.00 for 10/24-10/26 (entertainment rate). Is this a good rate??

[4greatboys]

I have not stayed there yet but the entertainment rates seems to be the best. I got a deluxe at the HRH in Oct for $160 so sounds like you got a good deal.

[cc1954]

Just an FYI - I just got back from US/IOA and travelled with a family that got a room at PBH with entertainment book for $140 per night. But the BEST part is: 1 card per room occupant for Front Of The Line privledge. We stayed at the Radisson maingate, but between the 10 people, were able to trade the passes back and forth for FOTL. What this means to you??

When we walked up to the Shreck 4D attraction, wait time was 90 minutes. We were in the preshow within 10 minutes.

Jimmy Neutron? 120 min wait. within 15 minutes - we were inside.

Men in Black? 65 minute wait - we were in within 12 minutes.

I will always pay the extra to stay on property - it is WELL WORTH IT!!

PS - the 1 hour early entry no longer applies - but in exchange, US/IOA now allows you to use your FOTL privlege as many times in a day as you wish - we rode Spiderman 3 times in a row within 45 minutes!

:bounce:

[Tay N Evie's Mom]

cc1954,

If I would have saw you passing around the room keys to people who didn't stay on site, I would have reported you to the management for the RAT ( would like to use another term, but I don't swear) that you are!!!

[4greatboys]

cc1954--Im glad you feel so proud to have cheated the system. Many of us pay to stay onsite for the FOTL access as well as the awesome resorts.
Sure we could get a cheap room down the road but staying onsite for FOTL and the great room to many of us is more worth it then running around trying to find a family willing to cheat with us.
I hate to rai on your parade but I dont think you will have many saying...ohhhh how cool of you :(

[*Flower*]

Ditto!! :mad: :mad:

[boyy]

RPR $110 Entertainment Rate (Standard King), Sept 12th-15th.

[cc1954]

Well - I am sufficiently chastised!! I will never ever stay at Universal without staying on site. But why are you all so mean?

[4greatboys]

cc1954--Im sorry if it sounds mean but many of us pay for the privledge of FOTL and then you come in here to brag about how you got to use it but didnt stay onsite. Well I dont think its fair you get the same benefit I do when you are staying off site. They have machines there for you to get some express passes or you can buy a pass book. Yet you did neither of those.
Many here will feel slighted--as I did--when you stay off site and dont even try to buy the passes or use the machines, just use someone elses card.
Just like when people post how they got there 3 or 4 yr old in for free since they look 2. We use the boards to share our discounts, and good tips but no one is usually very excited when others post how they beat the system. Not trying to be mean just FYI.
I see your new and hope once you been on the boards a while you can see how we try to share some legitimate tips on how to save.

[degrapevine]

Thanks to the info on this board, I was able to save $26 on my room rate at the RPR, staying just one night 09/19 at a FL resident rate of $99. I had booked a reservation with an AP rate of $125, but then the couple we're going with wanted to eat at Tchoup Chop. I tend to be a "tightwad" restauranteur, usually eating at Bennigan's or Chili's and I was afraid of "sticker shock." So, I searched for the restaurant w/my browser and your site was on the list. I was surprised at the room rates listed, since the agent knew I was a FL resident, but didn't offer the resident rate. When I called back, she said they aren't allowed to advertise that rate - You have to ask for it specifically. Well, now I saved $26 on the room rate and have that little extra $$$ to eat out at a "fancy" restaurant - WITH NO KIDS!!! Can't wait!

[SunnySkies]

October. $110 per night with the entertainment card. We would have stayed off site if the card hadn't saved us so much.

[kmc33]

I just booked a garden view room at the PBH for an Entertainment rate of $155 per night thanks to learning so much from this board! My dates are September 25-29.

:bounce: :Pinkbounc

[MLindaG]

I'm planning on going August 2004. Is it better to book my room now - they say entertainment rates aren't out yet.......or wait for the rates to be out.......and try to change the rate later. Will they do that???

[CarolynNC]

Booked yesterday:

Hard Rock Hotel
Sept 11 - 15, 2003
$125 Garden view - entertainment

I had so much fun in July when I took my son and his friend I decided to go back for a 'girl's weekend'. That's what happens when you take advantage of the 2 for 1 annual pass! :) The great airfare sale at Southwest didn't hurt either...$39 each way!

Carolyn

[kymgfan17]

I book RPR at $110 @ nite for Sept 20-23. I am traveling solo. This will be my 1st visit to Universal. I am really looking forward to it. Should be a fun trip by myself.

I love these boards. I have learned alot from them

[mgrebenc]

lLast nite booked RPR for 11/21 and 11/22, standard view, 110.00 per nite, entertainment rate. It would have been 125.00 for water view. We are very pleased with this rate.

Thank you to whoever mentioned that they received a better rate using the entertainment card than their AP.

They only have so many rooms available at Ent rate so even if you have a ressie and you wait to long and the ent rates are all taken for your stay you will still be paying rack rates.
I would just keep a close eye on the boards to see when they start taking ressies for that time. You can also try calling as soon as the Ent books for 2004 come out.

[Kimberlyfamilyfv]

2004 are out can buy them now. If anyone needs them for their trips

[bobsfamily]

We got the club level room w/ pool view for 2 nights (Labor day weekend) for 230 per night.. Is this good?

We used the fan club card.

Thanks in advance.

PS - we did this last year and had a blast! After readind just some of the posts I am now worried that I am paying to much.

[RLM]

We are staying at the PBH for 5 nights (12/26/03 thru 12/31/03) I got a garden view room for $189.00 per night. :smooth:

[jacee]

We got the club level room w/ pool view for 2 nights (Labor day weekend) for 230 per night.. Is this good?

I would be satisfied with that rate for a holiday weekend.

[TigerLilly's Mom]

Can anyone tell me how to get a great rate for Columbus day weekend (Oct. 10-13). Probably the Royal Pacific would have the lowest rate? We just returned from the HRH and want to try something different. I hoping to find some great rates and convince DH to take a weekend without the kids! I think Hotel Kingdom is showing $179, which I didn't think was that great. How about fan club? Entertainment rate? Thanks for any help!

[4greatboys]

Thats the weekend we are staying at HRH. I have ressies for Oct 10, 11 and 12 at $160 for a deluxe room at HRH--entertainment rate. You could get a standard there for $125 or standard atRPR for $110 if they still have some available. I would call today. Even if you dont have your entertainment bok now, you could order it and it will arrive before your trip. They had some 2003 on clearance for $10 plus shipping, those would still be valid during your dates.

[TigerLilly's Mom]

OK, I know I have seen this somewhere, but does someone have a link to buy the entertainment books?

[LynnB]

Here ya go.

www.entertainmentbook.com

[TigerLilly's Mom]

So, do I buy the one for my state, or for Orlando? Sorry for my ingnorance, I know I have seen all this before. I just don't want to buy the wrong book!

[polkadotminnie]

HRH pool view Oct 6-9 $135 (Ent rate). We can't wait to try it. We loved RPR.

[4greatboys]

You should be able to get the rate with any of the books. They all have a section in the back of 50% off hotels. I have the one for the Houston area but many others use the ones from their cities.

[Tay N Evie's Mom]

I got 2 rooms at the RPH Nov 5-11 (Veteran's Day Weekend) $110/night ent card. All the discounted rooms at the HRH were taken.

[luvdisney14]

We just returned from HRH and want to go back August 2004, when should I book it. Hopefully with entertainment rate or fan club rate?

[pigby]

Are these discounted rate books available to people from overseas (i.e. ME)?

[cpl100]

I would check the website which is posted above. You may have to pay extra shipping, but I don't see why you couldn't order it.

[*Flower*]

Pigby-

Try the website: www.entertainment.com

They should have a customer service area for you to be able to contact them.

Good Luck!!

[DisOrBust]

RATS! DH and I finally decided last night that we are done with the rate game at WDW and decided to call USO. To my dismay trhey have no GV rooms left and discounts aren't available until middle of Sept. I wanted to get this vaation planned so I could buy air fare. Any words of wisdom? What kind of rates will I be looking at?

TIA!

[Strawman]

RPH, standard room, 8/28- 9/1, $105, rate code 50APH, this was a coupon I received for renewing my annual pass, the Entertainment rate of $110 was also available. A friend of mine is going to RPH the weekend of 9/5 and got a rate of $99, said she called and asked for the best rate and voila!

[Back the Badge]

I was just doing a little checking on rates....at www.hotelkingdom.com I found these...the rate was for almost all of September and into the first week of October! Not sure if you can do better than this with the Entertainment book


Universal's Royal Pacific Resort
Inside Universal Orlando Standard Room $103.83 30% off!

I also found this for the Hard Rock for most of the same time period:

Hard Rock Inside Universal Orlando! Garden View Room 1-4 People $125.77 30% off!*
Hard Rock Club Room 1-4 People $182.00 30% off

We were planning a January trip, however, with the combination of these rates and discount fares available right now we are considering moving things up a bit

[jmkst58]

HRH garden Nov. 27-29 Fan Club $168. Anyone have better? I was hoping for better......

[thedisneymom]

where do you get this? Thanks ahead.

[*Flower*]

Call first and see if you can get the rate for your dates.

If you can, go to www.entertainment.com

Pick a city and order a book. The membership card is in the book, and that's what you show to the clerk at check-in to qualify for your rate.

Good Luck!!

[IMGONNABE40!]

jmkst58--

I called last night and got the entertainment rate for 12/21-12/23 for $135 + tax for pool view at HRH. Much better than the $200 + per night we paid through the vacation package people for our August trip! I can't wait to go back:sunny:

I have been to the resorts quite a few times but am new to this Forum. This a wealth of information that I need a little help with. I would normal book through the Loews website and use one of three codes FLO for Florida Resident, APH for Annual Passholder or FAN for the Fan Club. The Miami Beach Loews allows for GOV for Government employees and SEN for senoir or over 50 rates. From reading this forum I've learned about HotelKingdom and the Entertainment Book Rates. With the Entertainment Book do you have to call the hotel directly and ask if they have rooms available at those rates? Can you call the Universal reservation number? When I go to the Entertainment Book website and look under Orlando and click on Hotels the rates are not that good. When they say 10% off the best rate does that mean 10% off the Loews Florida Resident rate? If I book a Standard Room and show my Loewsfirst Gold card at checkin will I be upgraded if available? Can I get a suite for an additional $35? How long does it take to get the Book? FYI if you order it through Mousesavers.com shipping is free. Sorry to ask so many questions and I am sure that most have been answered before if I would just take the time to read. Thanks in advance!!

[cc1954]

I have to say that I am really confused too. I have a rate of $219, Club level for this weekend, which was given as the Entertaiment Book (EB) rate. But my 2003 Entertainment Book does not list ANY of the onsite hotels. I only knew I could make a reservation using the EB through this forum - so is it a part of the 1/2 Rack Room rate program that is also listed in the book?

In any case, I would love to know what percentile of rooms are available at each resort on any given weekend for the "special" rates of 1/2 off rack room rate, or Florida Resident, or Fan Club. Is there some kind of formula, or time frame attached?
Thanks for any info - much appreciated!!

[*Flower*]

I was told that the Entertainment rate was not including Club level when I tried to make my reservation.

UO said that the Entertainment rate was only for non-Club rooms.

Now I'm REALLY confused!!! :(

[JessicaR]

*Flower*..thats the same info I was always given too.

[*Flower*]

Thanks Jessica-

At least now I know that if I'm going crazy, you're going with me!!

[RyGuy]

Motherfletcher,

I actually made them this past Saturday. I was so shocked not only to find availability but the Entertainment rate as well.

[Kat]

I just booked PBH 2-Queen Gardenview at 209 a night a limited time promotional that I saw on Universalorlando.com but I called and booked the rate with the Loews First number. This is for January 16th- 19th 2004.

[JessiMommy]

I'm just so confused. Do I call Universal direct to try for the Entertainment rate? I have so many different numbers. aghagh!!

[AuntBea]

Royal Pacific - December 6th = 10th

[JessicaR]

Ramie your dates are available online using a Fan Club Card Rate for $209.00 a night Club Level RPR

http://www.universalfanclub.com/Orlando/frmUORSet.asp?navCLS=hotels

use FAN as the code.

The Annual Pass holder rate is also available at $195.00

:jumping1: :jumping1:

RPR Ent Rate - Sat 10/16/04 at $168, rate changes again 10/17/04 - 10/19/04 to $144

Rep originally told me the rates had not been released, but asked her to double check for my dates. She was surprised and pleased to find that they were!

:wave2:

[JessicaR]

Is that rate for a standard room, Lady Cluck? Congrats on getting the rate! f it is for a standard, they sure did go UP from 2003!

[Lady Cluck]

Yes, JessicaR, this is for a Standard Room.

Rates are rapidly being posted on the Loews Discount Watch thread. I was only a little disappointed to find the discounts were not as deep as in previous years, but even so, this is a very nice rate for a great hotel.

:hyper: :hyper: :hyper:

[JessicaR]

I agree, still a terrific rate for a deluxe property! I'm glad they finally released them and I hope all that were waiting are able to grab one!!:teeth:

[thedisneymom]

My rates are $248 for the end of June 26th then it drops to $216 and back up again July 4th weekend for a deluxe at PBH. This is the ent. rate.

JessicaR- Do you feel this is the best rate for me. we can do AAA or fan club. If needed if its a huge difference I would even buy an AP! Thanks ahead to the expert!

[JessicaR]

thedisneymom, since the AP and Fan Club rate isnt out yet for those dates...hold what ya have and play the waiting game...my guess...you will be able to do better as it gets closer using the APH rate. This would get you some terrific discounts as well on dining/shopping and probably cost you lots more in the long run planning more trips to use that AP! LOL Thats what happened to me...;)

[thedisneymom]

Thanks Jessica. I knew you would know. It's the New Yorker thing that makes us special. ::yes:: When do they usually give those rates out and what type of great discounts are you talking about. More importantly, how much better do you think those rates will be.Thanks!

[AlexandNessa]

Isn't strange this year that ENT rates are changing depending upon when you go? Last year, no matter when you went (month, weekday, weekend), the ENT rates were static. Wonder what's happening? :confused:

[red65]

What rates are you getting for 2/13, HRH? I've had my ressies for a while, but I've tried calling several times today and they are telling no discounts whatsoever available for 2/13-2/16??? Right now I am booked at $249.

I could go to hotelkingdom and get the rooms at $189, and the same on expedia....

what should I do??

[Ramie]

Thanks for looking up my dates and getting me a rate, but I called RPH Reservations, since somehow I couldn't do this online, and they told me that they could do $279 w/ my 5th night being free. I am saving, $120 on two rooms Club Level, but now I have to go to AAA, cancel and rebook, or do you think I should just do it on my own??

I love this board, and cannot get enough of it!! Thanks to all of the informative people who care enough to help everyone out!! Thank you!!

Not too bad . I wish I could have the $134 rate for all 3 nights , but you can't have everything . These are the Entertainment rates . She told me she didn't have any discounted rates available for the RPR for my dates .
I can't wait to go!:wave::Pinkbounc

Looking to stay aoril 7,8,9
I just spoke to a reservation agent who told me.

"We have not signed a contract with entertainment yet".

He then went on to tell me that the standard package rates were the best prices any way.
Has any one heard any thing like this.?
Last year we had signifigant better rate

... for President's Day weekend. We'll be staying at HRH in a garden-view room w/2 queens for $141.75/night plus tax... Not too shabby, imo. Seems like prices are A LOT higher this year than last, so I am grateful to have found that rate! I've been calling 1800BEASTAR every day since the Entertainment rates began to emerge for 2004, and have been told several times that they may not offer those rates since it's a holiday weekend. They don't even offer AAA discounts for my nights! Hard Rock is already coming up as sold out for those dates at the Universal web site, so I guess they probably don't see much of a need to lower the prices.

Sure glad I found HotelKingdom through this board... No other site seems to compare price-wise.

Thanks,
Sarah

I had booked with HRH at $208/Sat and $203 Sun-Thursday-ENT rate. I read that hotel kingdom was having a sale and my dates were on sale last night so i got a better rate than ENT rate-$151.20 for a gardenview room-previous was for poolview but I'll take a gardenview for the great price. I am so thrilled!!!

We plan to stay at the HRH March 26 or so for 4 nights (2 adults, 2 teen boys). Last night I called Lowes, and BE A STAR and all they had only the kids suites left for the discounted $449.10 (I asked for AAA, APH, Fan Club & Ent rates) Hotel Kingdom has garden view for $199. Should I just take one? Is that the best I am going to find at this relatively late date? Will more rooms open later?

BTW, it is our first time to Universal.

We are staying at HRH 3/20-3/26 and got the best rate on hotel kingdom. It doesn't look like the rates will get any better. Good luck!!

Yesterday I changed from Fan deluxe rm HRH ($224) to AAA Club ($271.20) I was also quoted FAN of Garden View ($179) and Pool ($194). This is form 6/5 - 9. I figure my teens will eat and drink over $50/day so club will work. I needed a Deluxe and they won't reserve, but called the desk manager and he flagged my res. and said it was about 99%. I didn't want to then downgrade at check in for a reg deluxe and get charged rack rate. He was very nice.

I just booked HRH for 6/28-30 AAA club room for 278.20. They only had the entertainment rate available for one of the nights and I thought club level would be cool and then you get 25% off the cabana rentals which we will be doing for at least one of the days.

Have you folsk noticed that you are posting on the wrong thread? This thread is for 2003; there is a different thread for date and rate 2004.
