I loved RPR - more than OKW at WDW! We did 3 nights (paid for 4 as once you hit 4 the price isn't much different, but ended up checking into WDW earlier, so lost our 4th night). We didn't get to use the hotel pool which is a shame as it looked nice, but quite small, but nicely themed. It's so easy to walk from the hotel that we only used the boat shuttle once I think - just to say we'd done it. We also didn't eat in the hotel which is a shame as I've heard good things about the meals. DH doesn't want to do Florida again and I'm not that bothered either - feel we did what we wanted to, but I'd definitely stay at RPR if we were going back again. We all loved Universal as you know - felt very much like DLRP in terms of size and being able to walk to the parks etc.
I can't recall if you've done Universal before? But if you haven't been to Bubba Gumps in City Walk I'd recommend it - we all loved it - was our first meal out of our holiday and probably one of our most memorable!
I think CSR looks the best of the moderates - really nice looking resort. Will keep a look out for your return to find out what you thought.
Anyway, back on topic - I hope your drive goes OK, it is a very long way!! The girls really want to go back to DLRP but we just decided to take a Disney break this year. I'd like to try DCR sometime but we never have a car as always fly.
I was having a look on the
Disneystore website last night (both girls have birthdays coming up!) and I noticed in the DLRP stuff that they have some 'Spring' mugs which I'm guessing are part of their merchandise for the event. They are really pretty - have a look if you get a chance.
Have you been able to find out about Descent? I suspect it has stopped. I haven't done breakfast at HNY but have at SL but it was Golden Forest which I'm guessing you can't pay to go into. I presume it's the standard breakfast you could get. I don't think they offer hot items on that one do they? What about seeing if you can get breakfast in the park one day - do they not do that any more? I know it's always at certain times of the year so may not be running at this time.
