    Best Days to Visit Animal Kingdom

    Our vacation itinerary has limited us to visiting Animal Kingdom on either a Saturday, August 11, or Sunday, August 12. Are there any advantages, disadvantages or no real difference? Which day would you recommend and why. Both days have the same entertainment/parade schedule and park operating...

    Hard Rock Hotel Advice

    I would greatly appreciate any suggestions, comments or advice about your experiences with Universal Studios' Hard Rock Hotel. We've enjoyed a previous vacation at the Royal Pacific Resort, but would like to try another property. What did you like or dislike about the HRH and why? Thanks.

    Anyone Back from an Early Morning Character Meal?

    Has anyone just returned from a Character Meal dining experience and knows the transportation available to those WDW resort guests who need to arrive before the parks open for an early morning priority seating reservation? Disney has provided rather inconsistent responses to this question...

    Best Location to View IllumiNations

    Thanks for your helpful information. Since it appears that most of the show's highlights are really visible from inside Epcot only, an alternative to watching a limited display from the Dolphin grounds may be their higher priced "Epcot Rooms" which claim to offer excellent IllumiNation views...

    Best Location to View IllumiNations

    Thanks for being perceptive enough to notice that I asked about viewing IllumiNations from the Dolphin, not Epcot. I see that you are from Aurora. I live in Elmhurst.

    Early Character Dining Transportation

    I would like to confirm if DTS provides a bus between the WDW Dolphin Resort and Animal Kingdom Theme Park that operates early enough to get us to our 8:00 AM character dining at Tusker House Restaurant. Dolphin concierge, Disney dining reservations and Tusker House all offer conflicting...

    Purchase of 1 day 2 park ???

    As I indicated in my previous reply, there is no additional cost for a one day/one park pass if purchased at the gate or hotel. However, multi-park passes are an additional $20 each if purchased at the gate or hotel and therefore should be purchased either online or by phone in advance.

    Purchase of 1 day 2 park ???

    Purchase your theme park tickets either online and print them out before you depart, or by phone and print them out at the kiosk located in the RPR lobby using your credit card and confirmation number anytime of the day or night. If you buy your multi-day tickets at the gate or at the RPR...

    Simpsons Ride Script

    We just love the Simpsons Ride at USF. Does anyone know where I can find the script/storyline for the attraction? I have searched several internet sites without much success. It's a somewhat noisy ride and can be difficult to hear what the characters are saying. Thanks.

    RPR Room Question

    We could not find a refrigerator in our standard water view room. Guest services verified that the rooms do not come with a refrigerator, but you can rent a small one for $15/day. All rooms at the Royal Pacific Resort do come with a small "refreshment pantry" that includes a few snacks and...

    Anybody just get back from Universal?

    That's why "we arrived 30 minutes before the park opened". We also arrived before the park opened because Universal Studios does not offer the one hour early park entry. Only Islands of Adventure allows resort guests early admission for the Harry Potter attraction.

    Anybody just get back from Universal?

    Our family just returned from a August 14 one day/one park visit to Universal Studios. By staying at the Royal Pacific resort, we were able to use the Universal Express lines for all the attractions. We arrived 30 minutes before the park opened and were among the first to ride Rip Rocket. Most...

    Tropical Storm Emily?!

    It certainly is frustrating to have your carefully planned vacation disrupted by the weather. We're also watching the storm develop on a day-by-day basis and we will have to determine if our trip needs to be rescheduled. The extended forecast calls for rain/t-storms over the next 7 days. I never...

    Tropical Storm Emily?!

    My concern for those Floridians impacted by the developing weather conditions simply overshadowed my own personal vacation agenda. I cannot predict the manner in which a presumptuous or unenlightened individual may misinterpret my well presented postulations.

    Tropical Storm Emily?!

    My thoughts, prayers and concerns are always for those individuals affected by any storm. I hope that your son will be safe. Fortunately the storm is currently not expected to be upgraded to hurricane strength, and wind speeds in the greater Miami area are estimated to be between 45 to 50 mph by...

    Tropical Storm Emily?!

    You somehow took the original meaning of my message totally out of context, then made defensive and baseless accusations to justify your own incorrect assumptions and misconceptions. Let's get a few facts straight here. First, I never "assumed" that YOUR vacation plans can be changed. I clearly...

    Times for park ride openings?

    According to one USF guest services representative, all attractions open when the park opens. However, another representative confirmed that ET, TWISTER and JAWS all open later at 10:00 am because crowds tend to ride the attractions located at the front of the park first. The USF website does...

    Tropical Storm Emily?!

    I'm more concerned about the safety and welfare of Floridians who have to endure the adversity of Tropical Storm Emily than how the weather affects my alterable vacation itinerary.
