    Gratuities On DDP

    When in Rome, do as the Romans do is very apt for this subject. We are not in the UK when we eat at Disney World, so there is no use comparing how much a server may earn in in both countries, nor would I ever begrudge anyone earning a good wage and being successful. Why do we do that in the UK...

    Toll Violation

    I know someone who was hit with exactly the same fine as the OP. When they emailed Dollar their response was "There is a lot of ORT (open road tolling) in Florida with no change buckets or toll booths. The Beeline - ORT West is a SunPass Only interchange. There is signage on the roadway that...

    Tipping at Universal resorts

    I believe when you are in a different country, you should always respect that countries culture (when in Rome and all that) and being a UK resident, when in the US, sometimes it's difficult to know exactly how much to tip and the proper procedure for doing it. We generally dont tip as much in...

    HRH Pool exit to parks?

    From what I can remember there was two exit's to the parks the last time I was out by the HRH pool. One was well sign posted to the left of the pool area and took about 5+ minutes to get to the entrance to USF. The other exit was at the back of the Beach Club, but wasn't signposted very...

    HRH King Suites

    Hi, Would anyone know if it is possible to sleep 3 in a HRH King suite? I know its just one bed and a sofa, but is the sofa a pull-out bed? And do you think it would be feasible to get a roll-away in there? Thanks.

    Virgin Premium Economy

    There is usually a curtain seperating downstairs PE from UCS. Personally I would give Virgin a call and try and swap your seats for PE upstairs. The cabin upstairs feels more exclusive and is a lot quieter. Downstairs PE is a bit of a no-mans land.

    My YC review

    Hi, just back from the Yacht club. Stayed in a lagoon view, concierge room. Room. It was about average. Just like a Motel 6 room, with an extra sink and boat steering wheels above the beds. Only saving grace was the view of some water and tops of roofs. If you want to see the fireworks, get a...

    Advice on HRH suites

    Just spoke to Loews and they said there are no suites available at the time of our stay (06/15-06/19). The best they could do is a deluxe room. So I booked that for $264 per night.

    Universal first-timer: Two quick questions!

    1. Come out of the airport and follow the signs for Orlando 528 (beeline expressway). Stay on the 528 for about 15 miles. Then follow the signs for I4 Orlando. Stay on the I4 for about 5 miles. Take the Universal exit and you are about a mile from the Universal resort. 2. Tolls on the 528 are...

    Advice on HRH suites

    Thanks for the advice. We really enjoyed the King Suite at the HRH. The only downside was the lack of another bed. I will give Loews a call and see what they say. Thanks.

    Advice on HRH suites

    Hi, I have been Loews Platinum for a few years now and have always been given a King Suite (ONE KING BED) at the HRH for the same price as garden view room. Does anyone know what SUITE Loews will upgrade you to if you require a room with TWO beds? Taken from the Loews: It is my...
