    Howard Johnson

    Hi DNBois We've stayed at the Howard Johnson Plaza Resort Universal Gateway twice. The last time we were there was early in 2000, so I can't really say how the hotel is now. We had some problems on our last visit and needed to switch rooms. Initially we were told that the manager was...

    May/June 2001 Trip -- Part 2: Detective Barry at Busch Gardens

    We visited BG for the fist time in May, and were really disappointed. We actually stood in line for Rhino Rally’s soft opening – after an hour, we decided to leave. Sounds like we made the right decision. I can’t explain why I didn’t enjoy the park – it was more a feeling. It seems old...

    Question about Loews Membership card...

    Hi Spaceman, Getting Loews benefits seems to be inconsistent. Some people are lucky enough to receive them, while others aren’t. We stayed at the PBH recently with the entertainment rate. We were lucky enough to receive both a room upgrade and our fruit welcome basket. I’m not sure...

    Millionaire Host - Also Universal Video Guide???

    Hi CoileyTheSpringSprite, Maybe they've made some cast changes - I'm not sure. Tracy Woo was our host quite a few times. But we also had Christen as our host a couple of times (over a four day period). We never saw any of the floor managers doubling up as hosts, but we did see the same...

    Should I ride The Hulk???

    The Hulk is fantastic. I'd chickened out of riding it on previous visits - but I built up the courage and rode it in May. It was so smooth, it was wonderful. My only regret is that we left it so late in our vacation to ride it - that we didn't leave ourselves much time to ride it over...

    Can I get an entertainment card (or similiar) from the UK?

    Kazzie, you can either order your card via their web site, or you can telephone them. When I ordered our card, I had trouble logging all my UK address - so I telephoned them. Don't forget the shipping charge. It was about another $7-$10ish on top of the price of the card. It took about three...

    Hi kwnancy, if this is the hotel that was previously known as the Gateway Inn - DH and I have stayed there twice. Our first visit was okay – our room faced the pool and everything was fine. On our second visit we weren’t so lucky. I’m not going to bore you with the details...

    AAA Discount on Tickets

    Hi Astrid As far as I know - the letter which came with our AAA show and save card (via the AA), said that you could buy discounted tickets at the gate. I think this is still true. Don't forget to ask for your discounts once inside the parks (food carts, shops etc). Karen :)
