Hi All, We will be Universal in July- 18th - 25th. This is a very last minute trip and our first time to Universal. I *think* I've decided we have to stay at one of the 3 hotels all (or at last part) of the time. I like the idea of express pass and w/ 3 kids (12, 8 and 5- all boys) we will likely be doing park in the morning and then heading back to the hotel. Then maybe back at night... so closeness is key. We do have 3 park- 14 day unlimited tickets so shouldn't have any issue w/ going where we want, when we want.
The issue I'm having is the cost of the hotel. It says that a double qeen sleeps 5, but they are only 375 sq. ft. Do they give you a cot for the 5th? Does it fit?
I see the rooms at the Portofino bay are larger but that resorts seems too elegant for our tastes. I'm debating calling to see if we can get two connecting king rooms but obviously that doubles the cost!
Another thought is the new Cabana resort for closeness, but then no fast pass and buying them separate is quite pricey. If anyone has pics of 5 in this room or any recommendations? Note: we do disney cruises quite a bit and find we are happier paying a bit more for two rooms... we do need some space!
Thanks!
