Thanks for reply for RPR. Anyone know HRH hours for am and happy hour? I think they are slightly different and trying to plan days when parks close early (Dec) would we be back early enough for happy hour food and drinks, as well as the hour they open if we go to early entry...
I can not give opinion about RPR as I stayed at HRH club level for yearly family vac. First time at universal 4 nights (always go to Disney's beach club). The club offerings were convenient and the rooms so comfortable and short walk to Univ. Studios and IOA. The best part was the include Universal express passes. Cost if bought separately $89. We were able to use them for everthing but Forbidden Journey, the train, and Escape from Gringotts. It saved so much time. We rode all rides multiple times with longest wait at Spiderman 15 minutes other rides were walk on or 5 minutes. HRH and Universal beat out Disney this trip.We are making our first trip to Universal Studios in September. We are planning on staying at RPR and I am debating upgrading to Club Level. We have stayed at Disney Coronado Springs Business Class with the lounge and really enjoyed it. We took advantage of the continental breakfast every day and snacks most nights. For our Disney trip I was able to get this upgrade for an extra $30 per night which was totally worth it on a 7 day trip. We are only going to be at Universal for 3 days and the upgrade is $400. Is it going to be worth it or am I going to spend about the same on breakfast, snacks, etc for a family of 4 for those 3 days? Also, does anyone know if the club level rooms have been renovated? I'd hate to pay for the upgrade and get a less then stellar room.
We are seasoned Disney vacationers and I want to make sure my family has the same great experience at Universal. Thanks for any insight or tips you can provide.
