HARD ROCK HOTEL information

Hi

We'll be at HRH next year before our 2 weeks at Disney! Can you reserve a table in any of the City Walk eateries? I know can't at Bubba Gump, but what about others?

Thanks!

We stayed at HRH in 2004 and 2006.
I think we are going back next summer.
In 2004 we had a deluxe room and in 2006 a deluxe cl room.

I remember when we had the cl room there was a discount for
renting a cabana. Is that still the case? What are the prices
for cabana rentals these days?

Thanks!

you can't reserve a year out for the restaurants.
30 days out i know you can reserve.

if you are going in a holiday time period, maybe you can book prior to the 30 days out.

call and you can get the rates. no idea if rates for 2012 will increase at this point.

yes, there is a discount on the cabanas when you are staying club level.

First off Hello to All,

Thank you for the great information in this thread. I have a few questions about the HRH. Hoping I can get some help here. We are planning to visit US/IOA and have decided early entry and FOTL is more than worth the resort cost for your short 2 night stay.
My questions are:

1. What meal options are available @ HRH. Are there any quick service places on the property?

2. Are there any resort maps (simlar to what Disney give at check in) to see the layout of the resort?

3. Are there gift shops?

4. Is there a HRH photo thread somoeone could point me in the direction of?

Thanks so much in advance,

We're going to be arriving right around dinner time at the Hard Rock.

Any suggestions for good, family friendly (2 adults, 3 kids) places to eat around the area, but not in the parks? The Hard Rock Cafe, itself, might be a bit too high energy (ie: LOUD) after a 20 hour drive.

Thinking about doing Bubba Gumps at Citiwalk....but wondering if there are better suggestions in the area.

I find the HR restaurant relaxing, but the music can be loud at times. The HR hotel has the Kitchen restaurant that we loved, it's nice and quiet.

We went last year to Bubba Gumps -- I have one child. We loved it.

2 week vacation in July 2012. Family of five, so staying on site one night first week (HRH) and one night second week (RPR) more than pays for itself with four total days of FOTL privileges.

Current decision - Club Level or not? After looking at the food sticky on the forums and mentally adding up prices for breakfast alone, club level might be an option (it seems to run $100-$115 more per night). I think I fully understand how the CL works for the day of check-in, but what about the day of check-out? Once you check out, can you still access the CL for that day? Pools?

Just hoping that since the FOTL is good for both days, that maybe we could stop back, take a swim and hith the CL again for midday/evening snacks on day of check out. Dreaming?

i have stayed club at those hotels before.

you can use the club lounge until you leave the building.

once you check out, have the TM at the counter lobby give you a key for you to be able to return to the club lounge.

that hotel key card will be valid for a limited time, meaning until you leave the building to return home or where ever your next journey will be.

Does anyone know where the deluxe rooms are located? Are they garden view or pool view? Any info would be appreciated.

Deluxe rooms can be both garden view and pool view.

We're planning on going to US in early June for 2 nights before heading to Disney World for 2 weeks. We're celebrating DS's graduation and he chose HRH to stay the 2 nights. I'm wondering if anyone who is familiar with the resort hotels can tell me when to start looking for an AP rate? Also, will these boards be buzzing when they come out like they are when Disney resort discounts come out? I'm just not familiar with how Universal handles their discounts...Thanks!!!

Hmmmm, I wonder why I was told there are no pool view deluxe rooms by the assistant who is helping me with my NEXT Oct, 2012 booking....I have been offered a wonderful managers rate on a Dlx room, with an upgrade to CL (due to a room deficiency on our last CL stay in FEB, 2011)....Now, the manager assistant has been nothing short of wonderful, has me blocked off and secured for a room Next October, but when I requested a pool view room, she told me they don't have any Deluxe pool view rooms
I am wondering if she meant only no pool views on Club level??? I don't know, but I guess I am leaving it up to her to choose my room, as she said she has me booked in a room close to the club lounge (which is great!)
I got a little spoiled by my view last yr....it was a pool view with a wonderful view of RipRide Rockit lit up at night, Hulk, and the theme parks....great location close to the lounge too( my son's ipod/ my IPad worked on FB and we didn't buy the Wi Fi!! ), unfortunately it was only a standard room, and not a deluxe queen, which we need this yr. for 3 different sleeping arrangements.
Those pool views sure are lovely!

We have a super early flight the day of our arrival. I assume if all goes well we will be checking into the hard rock around 10am. If our room is not ready do they notify you via text message or give you a phone number to call in and check if we decide to go to the parks? thanks

both.

they will call you or you can call them.

if the hotel was full the night before your check in, it will be in the afternoon before they will be able to get your room ready probably.

HRH has its own program, the All Access card.
Loews has the YouFirst program for guests.

you explained it well.

Sorry to exhaust this issue further, but I hear everyone talking about this YouFirst card. Is this the same as the Loews First card? I got that several years ago and always used it at HRH, Orlando. It gave me: Early check in, late checkout, possible upgrade based on availability, and a welcome gift. YOu also accumulated points based on stays, but only if you paid rack rate. We never did, so we never accumulated points, LOL! We Usually got the famous milk and chocolate chip cookies when the kids were with us, and the wine when it was just my hubby and I. Did they replace this with the YouFirst program?
