    Staying at Royal Pacific...Affordable food options??

    Hoping people can recommend places to eat outside of the hotel. With two adults and five kids, and it's incredibly expensive to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the Royal Pacific. This is our first time staying on site, so I really have no idea. Thanks so much!

    Suggestions needed for special place to eat for a birthday....

    Hi, We will be staying at Cabana Bay in April, and we'll be there for my daughter's 12th birthday. I really don't know anything about restaurants at Univeral. I know there is a boardwalk area with restaurants, so I'm hoping people who have been already can recommend a great place for her...

    Question about dining reservations

    Do I need to make dining reservations months in advance like I know I did for Disney? Not sure how it works with U and IOA. Also, does Universal/IOA have an area like Downtown Disney? Thanks so much!!!!

    Can we still meet Handy Manny?

    We were there today, and after the Disney Playhouse show, he was outside for a meet and greet. The lines weren't bad at all. On the other side of the wall were the Little Einsteins. I definitely wouldn't book Hollywood and Vine solely for the purpose of meeting him because he is available in the...

    T-Rex or House of Blues

    We ate at T-Rex on Saturday and HOB tonight. I have to say, we were all pleasantly surprised with the food at T-Rex. I really wasn't expecting much, but the food was very good. Our waiter was SUPER helpful and actually guided us in ordering, but the food was delicious. My mom and I got...

    How is Hollywood Studios?

    Sorry - I think my original post was confusing. I didn't mean it would cost more...I just meant that for a family of 5, it costs about $400 for a day at a park so I want to make sure we can spend a full day at the parks we go to. It sounds like HS will be fun! We're definitely going to check it...

    How is Hollywood Studios?

    We were going to do a second day at MK tomorrow for our last day, but we went there on Monday and did pretty much everything. I was thinking about going to HS because we've never been. I've heard mixed things from friends of mine, but I figured people on here would be a wealth of information! We...

    Face painting at MK?

    I know it used to be in Toon Town, but for some reason, I thought I'd read that it was moved or taken away. Does anyone know where my girls can get their faces painted??? We're spending our last day in MK tomorrow, and they really were looking forward to the face painting, but we couldn't find...

    What am I missing in MK?

    When we were there yesterday, we showed the pass and were let in through the Fast Gate Pass every time with everyone who had a fast pass. We were not pulled aside and went along with the FP people. I don't want this thread to turn into a debate about using handicapped privileges (which I have...

    What am I missing in MK?

    Hi, We went to Magic Kingdom yesterday, and we plan to go again on Friday. My parents are with us, and my mom has to use a wheelchair when extensive walking/standing is involved due to knee surgery and her heart condition. We didn't know it, but we found out yesterday that she is able to...

    Is there transportation from the Orlando Airport to Downtown Disney?

    I guess my title says it all! My brother is flying in tonight to meet us, but we'll be at dinner at DD. Just wondering if he has to take a cab or if there is some sort of bus system in place. I figured someone on here would be able to let me know. Thanks so much!!!

    How do we get to The Wave from MK?

    I probably sound like an idiot, but we have ADR's for tomorrow night, and in thinking through everything, I now realize I really don't know how to get there. Can we walk or do we need to take a monorail? And if so, where do we walk or what monorail? Thanks for any help!!!
