Thank youcall reservations # and modify your rate
There's a conference at RPH that entire week before (12-17) and I bet a lot of people are staying over (we are).Hello to all,
First time going to US the weekend before Thanksgiving. We were thinking of staying on site one night and get the express passes and the 2 park annual passes. We are DVC so the rest of the week we are staying at DW since we have APs . We are thinking of returning for spring break and again staying one night on site.
Im thinking that maybe I'm doing something wrong because the prices that I see staying one night with the AP are the same as Undercover Tourist !
Am I doing something wrong ?
or are they usually that high for one night?
also, does it get worse as it gets closer?
thank a lot in advance
Come on universal. I need celebration of Harry Potter dates before January aph rates. I'm gonna be so mad if I get an awesome rate and then find out its CoHP weekend. Taking my sister for her first trip and she would really prefer less crowds.
Edit: NEvermind, i went to the first post and read like I was supposed to haha sorry!There's not much availability left that weekend at APH rates. Saturday night deluxe hotels have only suites left at APH rates which is why you're seeing the same price for regular rooms as on UCT. I found one room at PFB 11/19 for $209 which would give you express for Sun the 19th and Monday the 20th. You should grab something soon, I doubt they'll add more, so when they're gone they're gone.

How do i get to this legacy version of the site? There is no price difference when I search on the universal site FL Resident/Regular Rate/APH and this might be why
I had a club level room at RPR reserved with the SMSM rate for our December dates but I saw a standard room at the AP rate pop up and it's saving me $153 per night so I booked it. Yay for AP rates! I was looking forward to club level but it's not worth $153 per night extra for us so standard room it is!
This will be our second stay at RPR. Are we eligible for a Loew's youfirst rewards room upgrade to a better view if one is available? If so, does the room upgrade just happen or do I have to request it at check in?
Thanks!
The benefits would not start until your next stay. After 2 stays in a calendar year you become "Blue" status.
Actually I just double checked and to clarify it's a 12 month rolling period not a calendar year:
Qualification for Membership Levels will be determined based on a rolling 12-month cycle, beginning July 15th, 2008 (the YouFirst Program Launch Date). Meaning, a Member must stay at a Loews property 2 times within any 12-month period following 7/15/08 to earn Blue status, 5 times within any 12-month period following 7/15/08 to earn Gold status, and 10 times within any 12-month period following 7/15/08 to earn Platinum status.
I am looking for 1/4. I am beginning to think it is not going to happen. I check every morning, nothing. And I am not going to pay over $1,000 a night for 2 rooms at the Portofino. We have a Portofino Suite with both bedrooms reserved, but I am not a recent Powerball winner. That is a bit over my budget!Do I have any hope of an AP discount for January 2? Starting to think not.

That's what I've done. We are at Cabana Bay right now. Hoping to switch to one of the deluxe properties for EP. Rpr is 454 plus tax per night. Not paying that rate. I too check every day. Fingers crossed.I think AP rates for my last stay came out a month before my trip. And at first the type of room I wanted was not available, but eventually it was. I would book whatever you can afford without the AP rate, and keep checking for them frequently.
We are platinum and with the size of our party, need the room in the Portofino suite. We are coming off a cruise and wanted to spend some time in Universal. If the rates don't come down, we will just cancel the reservation and go home a few days earlier. We were just at Universal and will be back in April for one of the children's sports, so it isn't a "must do." At these exorbitant prices, it would be cheaper to go home and fly back later when the rates go down.I think AP rates for my last stay came out a month before my trip.
