Our wonderful stay at the HRH and fun at the parks went on for 9 days and 8 nights so I will try to touch on some of the highlights.
Our family
ad 35, Mom (me) 35, son 16, and 2 daughters 13 & 8.
We arrived at the HRH after a long drive from Indiana at about 5:00 pm to find the parking lot completly packed! We thought this was kinda strange considering this was a "slow" weekend. We drove around for a while but had no luck finding a spot to park so my husband dropped me off at the Abby Road (bus) entrance and I took the elevator up to check us in. This is when I found out why the lot was full. They had 2 weddings going on and the parties were quite large. There was no-one in line to check in so I walked right up and was greeted by Anika. Everything went as planned. We had a rate of $125 entertainment and I was able to use my free suite upgrade card on a kids suite. I asked if the club level kids suite was available and sure enough it was!!! My husband finally found a spot to park. We unloaded and took our bags up the back way on our own. We were just in time for evening munchies jerk chicken, veges and cheese, beer, wine. other offerings throughout the week were meetballs, chicken wings, chipa, tamalies(sp?) little hotdogs and they always had cheese and veges and a dip. There was enough food on some evenings for us to make a small meal out of if we ate a nice lunch. I can remember that on one night (jerk chicken) we were still hungry so we went to Flippers for pizza. It was very good and inexpensive. We had kids suite room #7085. This room was very conveniently located near the elevators and club lounge which was nice. Our view was of the water taxi same as last year when we had room 7068 (also a kids suite). Our oldest son and daughter slept comfortably on their own twin beds and our youngest on the pullout couch. The room is very spacious and has 2 bathrooms but only one potty
so we had to make a few emergency trips to the lobby 
. For this reason next time we will be getting two rooms! We had the white cover on our bed and the kids had green comforters. They also had a huge Cat In The hat in their room. We had beautiful weather 8 of the 9 days that we were there so we usually spent time by the pool in the morning ate lunch then went to the parks. The parks weren't busy or slow somewhere in the middle I'd say. We never waited more then a minute or two with our room cards and usually walked right on to most attractions. The worst wait we encountered was the line for the Ginch (30 MIN) (cant use the card) we had been so spoiled from not waiting that we decided to try back in the morning. We got lucky the line read a 5 min wait but we walked right in. We ate at Mythos, Lombards, Finngans, Confiscos (sp?)and the Hard Rock Cafe. We also ate breakfast at the Kitchen. All of our meals were excellent!!!! If anyone wants more details about our specific meals just ask as this report is getting tooo long (sorry). To wrap it up: we had a great time and felt like the time we spent at HRH and the parks went by too fast. We also spent a week at Indian Rocks Beach near Clearwater after this so if anyone has any questions I'd be happy to answer. sorry so long.

Please tell us more about your meals at the Kitchen. I will be there this weekend and cant wait to try it out. I have a suite upgrade coupon too and hope something good is available! I wasnt aware the kids suites at HRH had 2 bathrooms. The second one just has a sink or what? Is there is tub in the other bathroom or just a shower? How awesome to stay for 8 nights! We had one trip that we split between HRH and PBH for 10 nights and I would love a repeat of that trip!
Thanks again for the great review and welcome back!
