We just got back from 5 nights at POFQ and 2 nights at Universal's Royal Pacific. Had a wonderful time because I got engaged finally. It took my boyfriend 5 years but I guess it's worth the wait.
Weather was a little icky the last couple of days with quite a few rain showers and chilly temps. But hey it's better than what got dumped on us here in PA.
Parks were not full at all. I couldn't believe it, ecspecially Universal. We got Islands of Adventure by 10:30 am, took an hour to eat at NASCAR Cafe and then had Universal Studios done by 4:00 pm. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to see it all but staying on site is a huge benefit. Never waiting in line rocks!!!
Royal Pacific is beautiful and service was great. The water taxi over to Universal is a nice way to travel after walking all day.
I didn't know that Carrousel of Progress was down, it's been many years since I did that and was looking forward to it again.
And the ring at the end of Haunted Mansion was quite a bust. I'm expecting to see something at least gold or silver. But it looks like a little pipe sticking up through the ground. I did see Leotta's eyes open so that was cool.
POFQ was beautiful and we were definitely taken care of. I had booked a king room and requested a water view smoking. We were in 2326 corner room top floor of building 2 with a view of the Sassagoula.
I'll try to get more details posted on trip report of meals and stuff when I get some more time.
All in all I am now definitely ready to just live in the Magic Kingdom. Great trip, now I'm sad that it's over already.
