So, I've already booked a room... I don't pay extra for my kid anyway (other than theme park tickets and food)... what does this really mean? I'm confused by the new promotion... I'm sure I'm missing something...

kids always are free in the hotel stay so i don't get it either.

it probably is some advertising gimmick to catch peeps attention.

Thanks Macraven! I don't feel so stupid now (at least about this!).

this was the latest email i have received on the darkside specials



Book your family getaway to Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort

Stay on-site at Universal Orlando®Resort from just $139* plus tax, per night

PLUS Kids Stay Free!**

Valid for travel Sunday – Thursday, June 5-20 & August 2-15. Minimum 4 night stay.


**Valid for children 17 and under.



it's probably a cheaper rate for that time period and advertising "kids stay free" just looks like it would make future guests take a second look thinking they were getting something special.

i'm not up on those summer dates room prices so don't know if the $139 + taxes and up, are anything special.
you have to book a 4 night stay to qualify for this promo.

I was thinking that kids always stayed free also. I don't get this promotion, especially as the rates I looked up were never below 188/night.

it's for a short 2 week time period for part of june and august only.
if someone is interested in the dates for the promo, it might be a great for them.

maybe bookings are low at Cbay for that time period and this is a way to help fill up the rooms.
