    Motion simulator rides?? Stationary seating?

    These type rides make me pretty nautious too, but I found if I took bonine (motion sickness medicine), and if it starts to get to me I just look away from the screen and I was fine.

    Never been.... The Mummy Ride?

    I'm the same way, hate big drops, but can ride SM, BTM etc. I was terrified before riding mummy since my family wouldn't tell me what it was like (they rode it first without me). After it was over I couldn't wait to ride it again! I rode it at least three more times that week! Really fun...

    what to do if its cold?

    Thank you, this is our first time staying at Universal so that is the kind of information I'm looking for. I didn't know there was shuffleboard or ping pong. We've been to WDW so many times and there are tons of places to get information, there just isn't as much info out there for...

    what to do if its cold?

    we will have a car, so I thought if we started to get bored we could head over to Sea World, but I hadn't budgeted for another theme park, so was hoping to find things that didn't cost much.

    Watching a sporting event at Citywalk?

    Is there are bar near the pool that has TVs? That would be perfect! I figured there will be lots of people at the hotels from the north, and it is #1 vs #2 so the game will most likely be on at least some TV's.

    Watching a sporting event at Citywalk?

    Nov. 3-5 Trip

    Great report! We will be at HRH checking in next saturday morning. Of course that is the big Michigan vs. Ohio State game, so my DH wants to make sure he can see some of the game. Did you say there was a place to watch sports by the HRH pool? Would it be something we would have to get...

    Just back - HRH good but not perfect

    Are all the room renovations complete? We leave a week from today, and this will be our first visit, I think the pictures of the new rooms look awesome, and hope to have one of the renovated rooms. Also, are the pools heated? We were at WDW last Thanksgiving and it was pretty chilly, you...

    We will be there the week leading up to Thanksgiving. Will the decorations be up yet? We were at WDW the same time last year and everything was already decorated for christmas. It really put us in the holiday mood.

    Help me choose a hotel and room for family of 5

    This will be our first stay at Universal. We just got back from our Thanksgiving trip to WDW staying at the Poly. I have 3 boys who will be ages 8, 10 and 13 when we travel. I'm leaning towards PBR since the rooms are big, even bigger than the POLY which seemed like plenty of room for...

    Just back from the POLY!

    Just curious where you were sitting, there were only a couple of families at the beach since it was chilly out, we were at the beach just off the volcano pool and I didn't hear any music at all.

    Just back from the POLY!

    Nothing else was wrong, if you read my original post it was saying I loved the POLY! I just mentioned a couple of negatives amoung mostly very positive things. There is good and bad with everything, nothing, not even Disney is perfect.

    Just back from the POLY!

    DJMommy, Enjoy your trip! One more tip, the quiet pool was really warm, much warmer than the volcano pool.

    Did you spend Thanksgiving at WDW?

    We spent the Saturday before Thanksgiving through the Wednesday before last year and then just last week. It was considerably more crowded this year than last! I also noticed that although many christmas decorations were up last year, there seemed to be more emphasis on Christmas this year...

    Just back from the POLY!

    This was our first stay at the Poly so I figured it was new to me, even if it was the old decor. I checked Tikiman's site and it said Rarotonga was refurbished in 2004, and everthing seemed in great shape to me. The TV was small, maybe a 19 inch, or even smaller, but we didn't watch it much...

    Just back from the POLY!

    Just wanted to post something quick about my trip to the POLY. It was my first time staying deluxe, and I don't think I will ever go back! I loved the POLY, it was so relaxing and quiet. Everything was so close, not like the huge hike to get some food last year at POR. The room was...

    ???? about Poly amenities?

    Yes lotion is provided as of last week, in regular rooms at the poly. We had shampoo, lotion, soap and shower cap. I agree that the quality of the soap and shampoo is not good :confused3
