Looking to go in August 2026. Haven't been to the parks in about 20 years. Been to City Walk a few times during that time.
Planning on doing 5 days/4 nights before going to Disney. The first 2 nights at either Royal Pacific or Portofino Bay for the unlimited express passes and doing US/IOA the first 3 days and then moving to another, more budget friendly hotel and doing Epic for 2 days.
Currently looking at a garden view at Portofino or a standard room at Royal Pacific. They are basically the same price. Portofino looks nicer but not sure if Royal Pacific being closer to the parks, especially during the heat in the summer, makes that the better choice.
For the last 2 nights, I'm thinking Stella Nova since we will be going to Epic those last 2 days but Aventura and Sapphire Falls (top end of the budget but can probably swing it if it's the best option) are also being considered.
