If you check the universal site and are a Lowes first member, the price comes up, or you could call them. It seems like a great deal. It's two free tickets with the room, tickets are for seven days. I was looking into it, but needed two rooms, and the price was just a little too much for a...

I called today also hoping for April '07 rate. Was told they could be out any day but would have to call back. It's been a while since we've been to Universal. Do they still offer Fan Club Rates at the on--site hotels??

Just started monitoring this board again as we are thinking of visiting Universal again in April '07. Would it make sense to jump on this "Universal Excitement" ticket now? Does it expire at year end? Or do you think something similar will be offered again closer to April??

Yeah, my son heard the Celebrate good times song on the radio the other day said, Hey, Mom, that's the boat song at RPR. The same music does get "old" after a few trips, but hey, when we hear it on the radio, it makes us smile and remember what fun we had in Florida.

The center of the raft also has a covered bin where you can put your shoes, or camera, etc. It might be a good idea to bring along the plastic bag you spoke of for your camera, just to be on the safe side. No steep drops on the ride and it is really fun. Enjoy.

I think the juice is about $2.50. So I'd bring a little extra change because, with tax, it's probably going to go over $5.00.

Kourtnie: This is a simulator ride that moves forward, and back, and from side to side to let you experience a space rocket ride that Jimmy Neutron has built, however it never really leaves the ground. The "movie" portion takes you through all areas of the Nickelodeon Universe. It's very cute...

Haven't seen the whole show, but what we did see we loved. Especially like that area, the themeing, etc. The show really makes you want to "dance in the streets". It's really good and I would definately recommend to anyone. I would agree that the area does get crowded as the show goes on.

We are Loews First Platinum members. They gave us a 2:00 check out last month. I will say, however, they acted like they were "doing us a huge favor". My friend who was traveling with us had a separate room and was also given a 2:00 checkout and they are not Loews members. Go figure ? Just...

How can they enforce that? We just got back, and our cards were only marginally looked at each time we got on a ride. No where were the scanners that were used last year. I can't believe that the workers at the rides will remember that you went through the line already. I look forward to...

I love the clothes at Fresh Express. Enjoyed going to a movie at the very large movie theatre, we saw Spiderman. Margaritaville is great for a drink, and even more fun if you can drink on the porch, or in one of the lounge chairs they have positioned outside. Hard Rock Cafe is fun too and has...

My 10 year old son (last year) went on Jaws for the first time and wasn't familiar with the story because he hadn't seen the movie. His dad had him sit on the outside of the boat. We were positioned pretty much in the middle of the boat (right where the shark jumps out at you). His reaction...

Some rooms are better than others. Last year we stayed in Tower 3 and the room seemed dated. Marks on walls, light fixtures that didn't work. This year we were in tower 2, (a garden view room). This room was much nicer. While the room colors are all the same, yellowish tone painted on...

Just got back from RPR. We ate at Margaritaville again this trip. The food is standard stuff, think Ruby Tuesdays, but pretty good. The place is huge and yes, they play Buffett music and have video screens throughout the restaurant playing with video of Buffett concerts. There is a great...

Saw it last week at Citywalk. It was great. Came home and watched Spiderman 1 on video. Consensus was we liked No. 2 better. My 11 YO son thought the only negative was "too much kissing". Hope Tobey McGuire will be back for No. 3.

Somehow, I received a Platinum card in the mail last year. We just returned yesterday from RPR using the Fan Club card discount. When I checked in, they noted my Platinum card, but no upgrade available because I booked with Fan Club discount. I really didn't get anything "special" because of...

Just got back yesterday and both were running fine. First time on the Petranadon (sp?) flyers. Long wait, as there is no express for that ride. Ride lasted about one minute. Not sure it was worth the wait. So spoiled by the FOTL!!

Just got back and used FOTL on Shrek also. We did have to ask and were instructed to go to the line that was forming around the side of the building. It only took about 15 - 20 minutes. Express worked fine.

Hi. We're leaving tomorrow for Universal. I read your report on the Universal board also. We were thinking of going to Typhoon Lagoon for a day. After your experience with the crowds, is that something you would recommend? We are traveling with a family that has never been to Disney or...
