Not only do I not know how to get this cheaper, but I think you are lucky that you got that rate at all! We are looking to go during the same time period (dec 28 for one night, would extend to two nights if we got a great rate). At first I wanted to stay at portofino bay and the best we could do was a AAA discount, 10% off, bringing the rate down from $299 to $269. We are currently holding that reservation. As I did more research, we found we could pay full rack rates for the other two resorts, which were still slightly cheaper. After I saw pictures of the Royal Palms Resort we decided it might be worth it to switch to save the $70+tax. When I tried to switch, they had instituted a 4 night MINIMUM stay at that resort and HRH was completely sold out for my date. Ack! Oh well, I did want Portofino Bay as my first choice anyway!

The only way we got around the four day minimum last Xmas-New Years was to book through hoteldiscounts.com Ended up paying, I think, $149 (about $170 after taxes/fees) for HRH Dec 27-29, 2001. No problems with going through a discounter, I'd definitely do it again during a holiday season.

I would stay at PBH every time, but cost is the issue. We stay at the lowest priced on site resort. Although sometimes if the cost is only $10-20 more we pick PBH!

You can get the Fan Club membership card from your employer, if they are signed up as members. The $139 club room rate at Royal Pacific Resort was a promo rate that is not longer being offered, I'm told.

JSFord: In most instances, Entertainment is almost always better than Fanclub ... Fanclub is 10% off rack. Entertainment varies according to the number of rooms allocated to entertainment.
In your case, your current rate is the best available that I am aware of!
Peterd
05-11-2002, 02:02 AM
I'm not too sure about the fan club being 10% off rack rate. We have rooms in Nov for 167 with the tax. I jut tried to get more rooms for friends using The Fan club rates. I was told the Fan club rates were sold out for that time, and the rack rates I had quoted for me were 230. I wound up getting them the Fan club rates at the RP for 159 including the tax. I have always found the rates to be about 60 to 80 dollars cheaper a night than rack. I guess it's just when you book.

We have Have two rooms Royal Pacific for $199 each, Dec. 27- Jan. 2. I called and asked for the entertainment rate and was told that black out dates apply from Dec. 12 through Jan.2. How did you get rates in Dec. of $99 standerd and $109 Pool veiw? Did you book a long time ago?

crazyme5kids:
The rates for the hotels go up beginning Dec. 24. I called today (Loew's 800 #) but there are no discounts available during week of Christmas through New Years. They still had availability for RPR Standard room @ $99, Pool View $109 for dates up to Dec. 24, then the rates shot skyhigh (this is with Ent. Card discount).
crazyme5kids
05-23-2002, 02:24 PM
Yep, that's the same thing I was told. I spoke with a service rep. manager, and he checked the reservation system to confirm this. Funny thing though, he said that they only have 26 reservations for the time I am going (two of which must be mine). You would think they would offer really good rates to fill the hotel. Oh well, you can bet I'll be checking almost daily to see if the rates change.

Another thing he said to me, which I thought was sort of strange, but he said they don't have garden veiws. He said they call the rooms standard because they have a veiw of the roads and highways, as he put it "not so close that you can see in the cars though." Has anyone else heard this, that there really aren't garden view rooms? It is such a big hotel I find this hard to believe.

I had called a few weeks ago, and was told only "pool view" was left at the ENT Rate for 10/13 - 10/21. Decided to check again today, but now I only want 10/13 & 10/14. Loews told me no ENT Rates were available, but AAA of $139-Standard was.
Decided to call 800-UESCAPE and check, same thing, but I happend to get a wonderful older lady who offered to look for other rates. It so happens that the ENT Rate requires a 3-day minimum stay, and they did have the $99 available for 10/13 - 10/15. Great.
Finally!! I just snagged a June rate of $109.00 pool view entertainment rate for RP, June 22,23,24th!

I was told that they did not show Ent Rates for September. Do these rates come out only near the dates of stay? Also Can I use my Disney Club/Ent. Card? This would really help us out. I got a Fan Club Rate for one room, but could only get $159.00 for the other room. Do you think I should get another Fan Club Card for my husband for three nights? By the way my aunt/kids will be in the other room.

It seems that the Entertainment Rate is the best rate at Universal hotels. There is a card in the front that you show at check in, but you can call ahead and reserve with an entertainment rate. The book costs about $25 and you is full of coupons. You can get it for the area near you, or for Orlando, or both.www.entertainment.com (http://www.entertainment.com) Also, there is a Fan Club card that some can get from employers, about 30% off. Then there is AAA, AARP, AMEX, etc. Sometimes Universal runs their own specials. Just ask if you have questions. You have come to the right place.

BarbaraMB,
I think the Universal Fan Club Membership Card can get you just as good a price as the Entertainment Card. We reserved a room at the Royal Pacific for 3 nights, Club level room which includes buffet breakfast, free drinks, wine, beer, snacks, for $139 a night using the Fan Club card. This was a promo offer that is no longer available, but was only available to Fan Club card holders. There is a person here at the DIS forum (tinkerbarb is her name) who will send you a Fan Club card for free if you e-mail her, she gets them from her job. Read the thread here:

Don't know if this helps you, but the value season runs through Dec. 23. Dec 24 starts holiday season. We will be there Dec. 22 and 23 and just got in under the gun. In fact, the reservationist said 'I won't have any entertainment discounts for those dates, because it is the holiday season', and I asked him to check again, as I knew it was still value season. And I was right!!! One reason we are going to U. before disney instead of after.

Thanks,
jc
paulakim
08-29-2002, 10:45 AM
Jacee, the rate I got was the annual membership rate. The regular rate they quoted me was $425. Also, AAA rate is $340. from what i remember the annual mem costed us $159 and depending on what state you are from the AAA runs about $50 per year. I asked for the entertainment rate but they told me they don't have them for kids suites. Depending on the # of nights you are staying and days you will be visiting universal the annual pass will give you a great savings. You also get discounts on many things with the membership. You only need to get one membership for your family to get the discounts. Then we will be purchasing either the 5 day bonus passes or the reg annual memberships for the rest of our group (havent decided yet). Make sure you call and see if they have any AAA or annual membership rates available for the time you need before you purchase the plan. You dont need the membership at the time you make your reservations just at check in and from what I hear sometimes they dont even check to see if you have it then. :cool:

Called today to see if any entertainment rates were now available (none were when I made our original reservation a few months ago) ALL room types had entertainment rates available! $150 for garden $170 for bay view and $180 for pool view...I decided to upgrade and went with the bay view room, which I was advised was larger and nicer than the garden view...and, it's 4 less than our original gardem view reservation. Without these boards I never would have know that fan club and entertainment rates even existed! Thanks everyone!

We have a kids suite at the PBH for $347/night for Columbus Day Weekend. That is with the annual passholder discount.
I got the entertainment rate for our friends of $180/night for a pool view, but can't seem to get the entertainment rate for our suite. Is it ever available on kids suites or do we already have the best rate?
We prefer the kids suite to two connecting rooms because:
1. The kids love the theming, VCR, and small size tables, hangers, robes, etc.
2. We love that there is no hallway access to/from the kids room.
3. Too many times at other hotels our rooms were not connecting when we got to the hotel (generally one can only"request" not reserve connecting rooms).

I called Loews back when I saw someone else post $209 for Club and wondered why my price was so much lower. The agent misunderstood me, or whatever, and mistakenly reserved a standard room not Club. I called back and had them make the change.

May 22nd and it seems that's a black out period. They have the entertainment rate for other days in May but not between the 22nd and 26th. Probably because it's Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully they'll run a special holiday rate like Disney does. Anyone else going during that time?

I just called to book HRH for May 16-18 and she said there were no discounts available for that time. She quoted 249/night pool view and 229/night garden view. I ended up booking AAA rate at RPR standard view for 159/night (water view was 189). Hopefully some discount for HRH does come out for May, DS is dying to swim in the pool with the music underwater. Although I have to say after our last fiasco with switching hotels and deposits, I'm not so sure I'm willing to go through it again!!
If anyone does get a discount for mid-May PLEASE post.

It appears that the ent. rates are out for 2003 but when I called Universal they said they weren't out for my dates. I'm going over Easter in April. They said I could book a room at the regular rate and then switch to the ent rate when it comes out. My question is will there be any ent rates at that time? It seems that if they are already out for the summer of 2003 and not for Easter that they don't intend to have them then. Any insights would be appreciated.
Our dates also don't have the entertainment rate. There are
black out times and like you said if the rates for 2003 are
already out I'm just going to assume the dates not covered
now won't be available then unless some special comes
along. We are also going during a holiday so that's probably
why the entertainment rate isn't available.

I would have had to purchase an Entertainment Book, so the price isn't too much more for me since I already have AAA.

BTW, I checked the rates online and they were $199 for a standard for those dates.

OK here goes, I think I got reat rates but could I do better?
We stayed at PBH the for four nites during last week of August 2002 and paid $209./nite and got the fourth nite free through Expedia so that worked out to $156.75/nite. We booked a Deluxe Pool View but were upgraded to a Kid Suite so I think it was well worth it!
My husband and I are going to PBH 11/18-22 and I got the Entertainment rate for a Garden View for $150./nite. Unfortunately we can only get away for three nites so the Expedia rate doesn't do us much good!
We are going again after Christmas staying at the HRH from 12/29-1/2. The best rate I found for that period was $216.26 for a standard room through Hotel Kingdom. I hope it works out OK since it seems to be a great discount for a peak period. Finally we will wrap up our Christmas trip 1/2-1/5 at PBH. I was able to get the Entertainment rate of $180. for a Deluxe Pool View. Maybe we will get lucky and get upgraded to a Kid Suite again!!
Unfortunately we didn't buy APs when we went in August, I'll be buying them when we go down in November since we'll definitely get our money's worth! Until that trip we thought we were confirmed Disney people! Who knew? :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

Just booked Hard Rock Hotel, $209.25 per night for a Club Level Room in Jan. 2003 through Expedia. We switched from the Royal Pacific Hotel. The Royal Pacific sounds lovely, but the Hard Rock sounds exciting. I will definately visit the RPR and go to Jake's for that $20 Special Drink.

Of course, then I just had to go buy the special priced AP. :)
I was told to keep calling and see if I can switch over to RPR before March.

For what it is worth I just booked (yesterday)the RPR for the week before easter, Sat 12 - Sat the 19th Water view at 178/n.
The big bonus is that this price is inclusive of all taxes AND includes two Adult park hopper passes for the length of stay!!
Granted if you compare this price with off season it is not the best deal but easter week!! I think it is a steal.
Not sure what the promotion is called I just kept politely asking questions until it was offered. In contrast the prices at HRH and PBH were all over 330/n with no ticket deal.
I am physed as I have stayed at both the other properties but not RPR yet.

I had a very hard time getting a good rate for my June visit so I thought I'd pass along the information I was told during my many phone calls to the 800 Loews # and direct# to RP.
Royal Pacific's Entertainment Book rate for mid June -a booking beginning June 15th and 16th are available at $110 per night (standard room), with a catch... you must book 4 nights (there were about 29 rooms available for each of these dates as of 1/13/03 around noontime). The week of June 8th thru the 14th is not available at the Ent. Bk rate (that includes HRH and PBH). I didn't check if other nights were available at Ent. Bk rate before the 8th or after the 16th. The rate at RP is $199 per night with no discounts currently offered the week of the 8th. The only decent rate I could get on the 8th or 9th was $160 (annual passholder rate) at HRH (I didn't inquire about other dates at HRH or PBH).
So, in short, if you're planning a trip to Universal on or around June 15th and haven't already secured your room, it might be wise to do so now.
Hope this helps someone.

I previously posted that I booked HRH garden view for 6 nights from April 6-12. Was only able to get 229 a night through the hotel. No discounts or entertainment discounts available. Have been calling every week for over a month. We are two adults and two children 11 &15.
Quikbook.com had a garden view room for a "supersaver" rate of $199. I went ahead and reserved this also, but wanted to know anyone's experience with Quikbook. I don't want to get there and not have a room. Tell me if I am safe to go ahead and cancel my ressie with HRH direct, for I will save myself $170.
Another question, I am right that HRH only has rooms with 2queens or a King, right? I told quikbook we were 2 adults 2 children.

We had reservations at the PBH for a Deluxe room for $179.00, Feb. 12-15. I looked into the other resorts and we were able to get a pool view room at the HRH for $99.00, fan club rate. Being thrifty yankees, we simply could not pass up that price! Also with three children under 10, decided we did not need the romantic Portofino ambience! Perhaps on another trip...Thanks Tinkerbarb for the Fan Club card.

Using your room key for Express access to the rides will make it much more fun than Disney. Also, the Royal Pacific Hotel is beautiful. We definately enjoyed our 4 night stay at Universal's Hard Rock Hotel in Jan. 2003. It was one of the most fun vacations that we have ever experienced.

I went to Hotelkingdom and put in those exact dates and came up with $279 per night (plus 4th night free). That averages out to $230.93 per night (including taxes ). How did you receive it for $209.25? We have reservations in October with the fan club discount, but your rate is definately better. Did you use a code or something? Thanks!
