    Car rental return grace period?

    Thanks everyone! I'm going to email Avis tonight and ask. We are allowing 3 hours to get from Tampa to the RPR, Google maps says 1 1/2 hours, so hopefully being a little late won't even be an issue.

    Car rental return grace period?

    I remember a few years ago reading that car rental agencies give you an hour or 2 grace period on your return time. I'm wondering if anyone has had recent experience with this to know if it still holds true? We are renting with Avis in Tampa and returning to the Royal Pacific; I'm worried that...

    Annual pass - does it ever go "on sale" ?

    The link posted above has the article dated as 10/5/2018. I have been watching to see if this promo is offered again as well. We travel in December; hoping for something by then.

    Transportation to/from airport from Universal Resort

    A couple of Uber questions... We will be taking an Uber car from Sapphire Falls to MCO on Thursday 12/5. Flying SW, 8:00 am flight, 2 adults and no checked bags. What time should we request our ride? We want to go to Disney Springs to shop and have dinner one night. Any ideas what the fare...

    ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT INFO...FAQ and more......

    We were supposed to be traveling last week, but Dorian changed our plans. We had planned to eat/drink at Bula Bar in the afternoons. Now that we are going in December, I'm thinking we will be wanting to do that after the parks close. I have seen the menu, but not the hours posted for Bula...

    Holiday events at Universal??

    We stayed at the Wilderness Lodge in January one year. It was in the upper 40's at night; the steam coming off the pool was cool, but getting out was painful! I will try calling the resort directly as we get closer to our travel dates, thanks for the suggestion. Or maybe I will wait until we...

    Holiday events at Universal??

    sandam1 - do all the hotels have s'mores around a firepit or just CB? We are staying 1 night at the RP and 2 at SF. 7:00 just seems so early for the parks to close, though I guess with EP we will have plenty of opportunities to ride what we like. I think I need to lose my Disney mentality...

    Holiday events at Universal??

    Thanks sandam1, that's just the kind of information I was looking for. Now I know we won't be seeing a concert because we aren't there during the week. Parade sounds worth seeing, and I'm very excited for the Grinchmas show! I guess I will need to check out Citywalk entertainment since we...

    Holiday events at Universal??

    Thanks btcbetha. I have seen the official holiday events; I'm looking more for personal experiences. The parks close early, is it fun to check out the decorations at the other resorts? Is there any special food or drink that they offer only at holidays that you look forward to? It looks like...

    Holiday events at Universal??

    Since Dorian helped changed our vacation from 9/1 to 12/1, I'm going to make the best of it and focus on going to Universal at a time we have never been before. I know all the WDW happenings at the holidays, what's special at Universal? We won't be there on day when the Grinch breakfast is...

    Post all SW questions concerns, etc. here...

    I rebooked my flight at a lower fare a few weeks ago and got a $26 credit for each ticket. I might book a flight a day earlier due to the Tropical storm, how do I access that credit?

    Day trip during Universal Vacation question

    We are flying in to Tampa on 9/1, renting a car with Avis, and returning it to the RPR on 9/2. My total for a full size car is $57.57. I know Cabana Bay and RPR both have Avis counters, I'm guessing SF does too. It seems like that would be cheaper than renting at MCO, returning there and then...

    APH Rates Are Currently Available... [UPDATED 07/27/18]

    I called and they adjusted my AP rate at SF, no need to re-book and cancel old reservation. They gave me a credit on my account. Since it was only $20 (one night), that was fine since I know we will be eating/drinking there. Had it been more I would have asked for a refund to be put through.

    My flight fare went down and I received a credit. Can I use that credit to pay for Early Bird check in?

    Day Tripping to Universal from Disney World

    I would do a 2 night stay at one of the Universal deluxe resorts that offers EP after 6 nights at WDW. Whether you like big coasters or not, you are going during a busy time at the parks with the 4th of July crowds. That way, you can do all the WDW running around and have a couple of days at...

    Coke freestyle program

    Thanks Bethany10! It sounds like I will have plenty of non-soda options if we get the cups.
