I am a Disney freak and I almost feel like I'm cheating by coming to this Universal board! Ack!
Was just at WDW a few weeks ago, myself and my 3 kids. Great trip. DH was on a work trip elsewhere, just as well, he is NOT a fan of the Mouse.
So from this last trip I had a nice credit with Jet Blue. JB just announced they are going to start flying out of an airport that is super close to me, like 20 minutes and Orlando is one of the destinations. So, booked two tickets yesterday for a Tues-Fri in November, only cost me $50 out of pocket.
I can't even believe DH agreed to this little getaway for us but he did say NO Disney Which is how I ended up here at this board.
I have been looking around the web for places to stay in Orlando that are NOT Disney. I want to be sure we have someplace with a really nice pool area and it lead me to Royal Pacific which looks very nice. Then I started thinking well if we stayed there we could walk to CityWalk and that could be fun at night. Then I found Portofino and that looks lovely too. And if I could convince him to maybe do a park for a day, well we are right there and I haven't been to Universal since, gosh, I was 20? And I'm 43 now
So what do you recommend for a place to stay for a couple, not bringing the kids, and a nice pool area? I'm really leaning towards choosing one of the Universal hotels just to have the option there to hit a park one day and for being able to walk to CityWalk, just not sure which one?
Thanks!
