Hello There 
I wanted to add my Universal, HHN, and Epic portion of my trip here! I travel with my daughter and we love HHN! We did the premium scream this year and 1 regular night with EP. We spent the first 7 nights at WDW and will have 2. Ignitable a HRH and 2 nights at Helios. My name is Caroline and my daughter is Andi! You can find my full TR on the WDW trip report board if interested!
Today was moving day! We said goodbye to The YC and Disney. We ended this portion of the trip with another Mickey waffle meal. We both had the kids meal and Andi got bacon to give to me. Double bacon
with Mickey waffles makes for a great morning.
Goodbye YC, we love you.
I ordered a Lyft at about 11:00am for our ride over to The Hard Rock Hotel (HRH).
This will be our first stay at HRH. It is very close to the entrance of US and this was perfect for our next couple of days.
We arrived and checked in and our room was ready, yay!
The room was on the 6th floor towards the end of the hallway" we like this, it is usually more quiet away from the elevator area. Here are some pictures of the room and our view. I liked the hotel and the rooms are fine but overall it is my least favorite of the three premier resorts. My favorite is Portofino Bay and Royal Pacific as my 2nd. What I usually do is look for the best AP deal for the premier resorts and pick that one. HRH is usually the most expensive but this time it was the least expensive.
Our Hotel view
We settled in and took a little rest before heading out to Citywalk. The walk was really nice and very convenient. I would say a 5-8 minute walk including the security check point.
We wanted to have a later lunch at Toothsome’s Chocolate Emporium before going to US for HHN.
Our plan was to do the stay and scream for Fallout. You get a wristband and can line up earlier than guests who only have the HHN tickets and not US tickets. We have APs so we could participate in this.
We walked over to the restaurant around 2:15pm for our 2:30pm reservation.
Andi picked this restaurant and I have always enjoyed our meals/drinks/dessert here,
We were seated quickly and decided to share the Wild Mushroom Risotto with chicken.
We also each ordered the seasonal pumpkin spice martini.
This was delicious! I could have drank several if they weren’t so expensive.
The risotto was delicious as well.
Penelope and Jacques came by to say hello and to ask about the Horror Nights. They said it maybe too scary for them! I know how they feel!
We finished our meal and headed out to Universal Studios.
Follow me to the scary business
