Another newbie with various questions

[linnylu]

I am sorry that I don't have time to read all the helpful threads here since I am in the midst of midterms and papers before our spring break trip in 2 weeks.
We are staying at Royal Pacific Resort.
1. Do the rooms have a frig or do we need to rent one?
2. What is the best type of insulated bag to bring into the park with bottles of water and some snacks for the kids? Are you limited to size?
3. What is the quickest way to get from the hotel to IOA?
4. Will it be okay for my dd to wear her glasses on the rides likes Forbidden Journey?
5. What is the weather like this time of year

1. no fridge in the garden view rooms from my experience.

2. small soft 6 pack soda type of bags is typical, not sure about the size limit.

3. walking is quickest unless the boat is already there, then its a toss up.

4. ?

5. its typically very nice, 70s to 80s.

Bags can be an issue, unless someone is not riding and can hold them you have to get a locker for several rides.

Glasses if they fit well shouldn't be a problem, but a strap might make her/you feel more secure. (brief fogging issue with dragons on FJ)

Our son lost his glasses on The Mummy's Revenge but he's had no other issues. I think that his glasses were pretty loose though.

HOW DOES THIS LOCKER THING WORK? OOPS! my caps were locked. sorry!
If we go to WWOHP on the early entry, will stopping to get a locker hinder our progress to do Ollivander's and FJ quickly?

If you have early entry, then I would do Ollivander's, then get a locker while you are on FJ.

Ollivander's is not a ride, so you can take your bags with you. O's also tends to build a line very quickly and stay busy all the live-long-day, so I always recommend O's before FJ, especially with early entry.

They do not allow bags on FJ (as with many of the other headliner thrill rides at Universal), so they provide free lockers for a short time based on the particular ride's posted wait time. If the line for FJ is outside the castle, that is often because many people are either (a) waiting to use the lockers or (b) don't realize that the line is for people waiting to use the lockers. Once past the lockers, the line often disappears for a while until you are in the greenhouse. If you have no bags, it is often not necessary to wait in this outside locker line--I would tell the TM at the castle gates you have no bags and see if he ushers you up past everyone else. If you do have bags, it is possible to circumvent the locker line and enter the locker area via FJ's exit, which is in Filch's. I have never done it--I either do single-rider, child-swap, or have no bags--but many others have with great success.

Thanks so much for the advice. Trying to plan for our first trip!
