For roughly the same amount of money we could either stay 4 nights in PBH standard room or 2 nights at CB (family suite) and 2 nights at Hard Rock (standard room). What would you do? This is our first trip to Universal.
We'll arrive in Orlando late afternoon on a Saturday and want to check out early Wednesday morning to make our way to another location for a wedding weekend. So planning to check-in/relax/checkout the resort Saturday evening; do a daytrip to Lego Land on Sunday (hours are longer there on a sunday and hours at Universal are short on sunday bc of Halloween Horror) and doing Universal parks all day Monday and Tuesday. Checkout Wednesday morning.
I like the idea of just unpacking once and PBH looks really nice, rooms are big, and its a good deal to stay there 4 nights, getting the Stay more save more price.
But, Since we really only need Express pass privileges for Monday/Tuesday, I was thinking it would be nice to stay at Cabana Bay for the extra room and large bathroom (seriously a huge plus with a fam of 5!) plus pool and bowling alley (kids are 5,7,9) on Saturday and Sunday, then staying at Hard Rock for 2 days to get EXpress passes plus I just think HR seems a bit more convenient and exciting for kids than PBH? Though the rooms are smaller. And I don't know if switching hotels will be a pain? If we wake up in Cabana Bay and want to get to the park for early hours plus have to check out/back in to new hotel that could be a hassle.
Ugh, please help me decide! Thank you!
