DISASTER! A New Universal Trip-Report Starring ME! & My Friends

[Assisi]

I am enjoying your report. Thank you for posting the pictures of the Royal Pacific. I am trying to decide where to stay. Was there plenty of room for the 3 of you?

After hanging out in the room for a while and a few UNO games later, we decided to get ready to visit the Islands Dining Room for dinner. I had visited the RPR solo back in December and it was my first taste of the Polynesian buffet on Saturdays in the dining room. I was floored. I remember being at the buffet, calling Luis on the phone and asking "HOW FAST CAN YOU GET HERE???" Since we live a 4 hour drive away, it was impossible. But crappy cell phone pics and my descriptions would have to be enough until Luis was able to try it for himself. His thoughts:

LUIS:
This is not your average oriental buffet... Everything is so fresh and tastes wonderful. The beef was fantastic and the wings were so good, almost perfect. I never eat lo mein and at this buffet I couldn't get enough of it. When Anthony told me they had a kids part of the buffet, I jumped so fast out of my seat and ran. I love their little popcorn chicken! The pot stickers were so good.. I didn't try all of the sauces but they did look migh-ty fine and tasty.They had some kind of tuna martini that looked delicious .. and I hate SEAFOOD. lol ... The desserts, awesssomme. I loved the strawberry tarts. What's that you say? They don't make those? You're right.. I made them myself out of the tart from one dessert and strawberries from another.. lol But all the rest of the desserts looked so good. Loved that dinner..

A rave review from Luis.. edited for atrocious grammar and spelling errors by your good friend Anthony.

Woody looks like he's doing something slightly naughty in this pic. or is it just me?

Food looks yum-o!!! Were the potstickers, dim sum and spring rolls as good
as they look? What other kinds of dessert did they have? Ice cream?
Did they have fried rice?

Thanks for the pics.
Boy am I full!!!

Yeah, the rooms are a perfect size.. I'm sure if we all have our luggage open there's not much room for cartwheels, but all in all when we keep it tidy, it never feels cramped.

Nerdboyrockstar your trippie is the bomb!!
Can' wait for more!!
I have never been to Universal and can' wait!! I have always wanted to
go but I have been waiting for the kids to be older. So now is the time.
Do you have any tips for a newbie???

Stay on-site! Even if you have to arrange your dates to go during cheaper times when you can get a room for in the $160's range, for the absolute best experience you HAVE to stay on-site.

Aww, me, George and Woody all go way back. It was like dinner with old friends.

Ya little NASTY..

After being completely stuffed, we could hardly make it back to our room.. although the original plan was for us to hit up CityWalk and visit the new Rising Star Karaoke Club and the Red Coconut Club which I've only been by before but I was with someone under 21. (NOTE: Leave all kids at home..) It looked really fun though.

A quick survey of the room showed that NO ONE was interested in going to CityWalk for our last night! So instead.. well.. we kinda had a pajama party.

These are the T-shirts they gave us for staying during Extra Value Weeks. I love it! Other freebies coming up this year include 2 free movie tickets and a $10 concession voucher, and later on a free $25 gift card.

We played some more games, took some pictures in the room, and to no one's surprise, Nisha fell again..

Too many Ahi Tuna Martinis????

Too full for fun..


I always take my BOSE speakers and my iPod on vacation with me so there's a party anywhere I go.

Once Luis got some pep in his step, we filmed music videos for Guns 'N Roses "Sweet Child O' Mine" and Missy Elliott's "Ching-A-Ling".. Those will NEVER see the light of day.


I found some glasses/goggles that Nisha had and loved them.

And we stayed up until the wee hours just making our own fun in the hotel room. A late night trip to CityWalk would just have to wait until our next trip.
