Okay, sounds like you guys like the live stuff as much as me so I will continue....
First to answer the question from wilma-bride. The Renaissance was nice, the atrium was gorgeous and the room was nice, not really that big I would say but not small either. Can't beat the location if you are going to do Seaworld or Discovery Cove. It was $162 for a regular room or $183 for club level so we went with the club level. Breakfast was good with lots of fruit but slim or yucky choices the other times we were in there.
Okay, for the trip report...
We slept in a bit today and around 10 am Rob got some breakfast at the club room and then we walked across the street to Seaworld. The place was a freaking ZOO! There were so many people there!
I am glad we did some stuff yesterday and today we only wanted to see Shamu and the Dolphin show.
We were late for the Shamu show and only saw half of it but it was very enjoyable! Then we saw Blue Horizons Dolphin show which we loved so much!
Thankfully we were leaving the park to get the car and drive to Universal to check in at the Royal Pacific Resort. This is our first time staying onsite and the LAST time we ever stay off site!
This is an absolutely GORGEOUS hotel!!! Our room wasn't ready so we took the water taxi to IOA and got our Power Annual Passes.
We spent the next 2 hours walking around and taping mostly. We stopped by Spiderman to check out the line and it said 30 mins but it was a walk on with the Express (what a GREAT perk for staying onsite! ) so we got in line. We always love spidey but there were two small girls in front of us who screamed bloody murder the WHOLE ride, which kinda ruined it since we were so worried about them.
Went to Blondies to eat some Dagwoods. THey weren't as good as usual and they changed the potato salad on us
We walked around the whole park and then walked over to Universal to ride The Mummy for the first time.
Okay, all I can say is WOW WOW WOW!!! We LOVED this ride!!
It was so awesome, we went on twice! Wait time posted was 20 mins but with that great little room key, we basically walked on, twice!
It was hot today, about 91 degrees and no rain and REALLY humid and I don't take the heat well so by now I was so HOT! I got a virgin Strawberry Daquiri at Margaritaville and then we walked back to the RPR.
We got our room number and checked it out. We got a great AAA rate for a king suite and it was amazing I tell ya!! I still can't believe we are here!!!
If you can, you have to save up and stay at this resort!! I have to say I think it is the best hotel and room I have ever stayed in!!! It is just breathtaking!
Rob got some work done and then we went down to the pool. They were playing a movie on a giant screen at the pool, which was cool!
We relaxed in the hot tub for a bit and then ordered some room service snacks
Up tomorrow is IOA/Universal...stay tuned
