    Transportation to/from airport from Universal Resort

    I am trying to plan transportation to Royal Pacific from MCO. Then from Royal Pacific to Hyatt Regency at MCO ( we have an early flight at 6:00 am) I booked the Royal Pacific room only. The package is more when I tried pricing it out to get the Shuttle service. I read somewhere that...

    Disney's Art Of Animation Resort MILESTONE!

    I saw this too. I am kind of excited about this since there will be family suites. After our last trip I think a family suite room is what we are going to need from now on.

    Cheap Clean Hotel for 8-9 hours!

    That is what I would have done. Hopefully you won't have to move to another room. If you haven't already have them note your other reservation number on your new reservation. I would also contact the hotel prior to arrival and at check in remind them that you will be extending your stay...

    Cheap Clean Hotel for 8-9 hours!

    Check out Travel Zoo. I recently stayed at the Hampton Inn for $50.00 a night. I found it on Travel Zoo. Looking at th current specials there are hotels available for the price you are looking for. Also, have you checked out how much it would cost to add on a night at the Pop to...

    Nick hotel.

    Glad you had a good time. We were there a couple of weeks ago and had a good time too. We were on the second floor on the side of the slides. Our room was a Jimmy Neutron themed instead of Sponge Bob. It also had bunk beds. My oldest, 13 didn't fit in them comfortably so he slept on the...

    Do you have to watch all the harry potter movies to appreciate the WWHP?

    We aren't a fan. I have seen bits and pieces of the movies when they are on TV. We enjoyed the area. It was fun to look at the windows. We didn't do Olivanders since we had no interest in a wand. I know from the movie that the wand picks you. The owls were neat. I enjoyed the frozen...

    Back from RPR / Hampton Inns / Nick

    Yes. We had use of RPR facitilies and FOTL access. The only thing you can't do is charge to your room once you check out. So make sure you bring cash or a credit card with you. We knew we weren't going to go the the parks on Saturday due to our flight home so it didn't make sense to pay...

    Back from RPR / Hampton Inns / Nick

    We just came back from our Universal /beach trip. We started our trip in the Palm Beach area. Our plan was to stay at my inlaws condo (snowbirds), but upon arrival there were little critters droppings everywhere and even my teenage son said there was no way he was staying there. So off to...

    How can I get front row on rides?

    For the Simpson's I would see where I was placed in the row. At the end we got the back row and if we were in front of the row we got the front row. The ride only holds 8 people. If being in the front is important to you just make sure you are in the front of the line and stand by the door...

    Harry Potter rides for timid 8yo?

    My 8 year old son liked it. He hates Dinosaur at Disney and even River Adventure at IOA he wouldn't go back on.

    How much is staying onsite *really* worth?

    My advice to you is to get to the parks early. We stayed at RPR and were at IOA opening at 7:00. We were done with Harry Potter area by the time the park was opening to the general public. We were leaving the area when the mass of people were entering the area. All the other rides in...

    Bula Bar & Grille at RPR

    We had lunch there this week. The kid's meal burger were big. Two kids could easily split it. My husband and I split the nachos and it was plenty for us.

    Heads up on JetBlue "money back"

    Our trip in 2009 we got a $70.00 voucher and applied it to this trip. Our flight was in November 2009 and the voucher expired in November 2010. I booked our trip in November 2010 for June 2011. You don't need to travel within a year but book a flight within a year. I don't recall...

    Awesome rate with National for next week!

    No. Our vacation ends in June. However, they weren't working for a few weeks and then a week prior to us leaving they started working again. It seemed after Nationl's last minute deals came out for our dates it started to work again.

    Awesome rate with National for next week!

    The coupons were working for my trip as of yesterday. We just picked up our car today in southern Florida from National on the Emerald Aisle. We lucked out and got a Toyota Siena. There were also Jeep Patriots available too.

    AutoSlash.com: Car Rental Price Search Engine

    I just checked rates for my dates and it is coming up higher, but National isn't a choice. I currenlty have National for a intermediate (Emerald Aisle) for $133, booked through National directly. Thirfty the cheapest at $154 at this site. The site looks very similar to Car Rental Savers.
