Here's our best and worst: Worst: Our stay at RPR was fantastic, BUT we lost three bathing suits in the process. I left my suit in the locker room at the gymnasium. Came back three hours later to check and am still waiting. And the last night after it rained we put our wet stuff in the dryer...

Thank you macraven and ldmilton for your kind comments. Both my youngest daughter and husband make faces when photographed. When they are together it usually takes two or three tries... Club Level definitely made our vacation easier. They only have 42 rooms for RPR so if you can get a...

Day 8, Wednesday, It Can't Be Wednesday Already! We slept in until 8 a.m. today. Breakfast in the lounge, as usual. I wonder how I’m going to get to this lounge every morning when I get back home to Illinois. Who will say Good Morning!, who will arrange the breakfast choices, who clean up...

Thank you! If you ever think about going on vacation to St. Martin, I have a trip report for you about our adventures there. Karen

Day 7, Tuesday or Fishing for Sunglasses. We wake up at our own pace, have the lovely breakfast in the lounge, and head our separate ways in the parks. We agree to meet at 11:15 at Hollywood Horror Makeup Show because we’ve heard such good things about it on this board. This is truly a...

Going over today's report, I realize a photo of Ripsaw Falls was left out. I'll include it in the next installation. Sorry. Karen

Thanks. My daughter took a bunch of photos of PBH, so I'll post them next. Karen

Monday, Day 6. We get up at 7:45 a.m. because we want arrive at IOA at close to opening. The girls have been waiting five years to go on Pteranodon Flyers (last time the line was too long) and we have heard the only sane way to do it is first thing in the morning. We get breakfast about 8:15...

Maybe at some point you can give Universal another try. We have been to Disneyworld four times and Disneyland (they STILL have Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! Yea!!) more times than we can count. But Universal charmed us. Previously we had been there on two half-day trips. We prepped the girls about...

Day 5: Sunday, Father’s Day and Royal Pacifc Photos. Today is Father’s Day! The day when we honor the guy who (at least in our family) lives with four females: me, D14, D16 and our dog Lucky. He comes home every night even though two teen age girls live in the house. They are alternately the...

Thanks! It really was relaxing and easy going. I really love Disney, but Universal place that you can really slow down the pace if you want.

Friday, Day 3: Your Ankle Can’t Handle The Truth! We decide to hit the parks earlyish – around 9 a.m. No crutch for me; it’s go time. I down a Bonamine because I don’t spin well. A few years ago I had an inner ear problem and was spinning even without rides. Two years ago I tried Everest at...

The whole check-in thing was not great for us, too. When we checked into Club at Royal Pacific I explained that my daughter had a migraine and could they possibly put us in a room soon (it was 12:45 p.m). They said it wouldn't be long at put a priority on our room. Three hours later and two...

Thanks! I'm having fun writing it.

If this works, this should be an image of the RPR Club Lounge Frogs. Karen

The closest thing we saw to a parade was the Super Heroes coming out on their vehicles and then stopping to pose and chat with guests. Karen
