just back fro HRH, unlimited express was wonderful!

[figment85]

Just spent 3 nights at HRH. It's still unlimited express with room keys. and it was absolutely great! We walked on to every ride we wished in both parks. No more that 15 people in front of us, usually only 3 or 4. Yesterday my DS, 17, rode the Hulk 8 times in 45 minutes! I hope they don't switch to once per day too soon. We went on rides that we had avoided last trip because the lines were too hot and slow. I got to ride MIB enough to improve my score and get "the suit" a few times!!!
HRH was full and parks seemed crowded. I only wish they had better transportation to and from parks, a la Disney, maybe. We walked our feet off just getting to the boat and bus waiting areas. Any questions?

I just hope the FOTL (or whatever) is still unlimited November 2-4.
This is the first I've read about transportation complaints from HRH to the parks. I thought HRH was like a 5 minuite or less walk to US. Whats up with that ?

Walking from the boat and bus areas?!?

It is literally more walking to use the boat (maybe the same, but it's not really saving you any walking walking from the hotel to the dock then dock to the parks) or bus (definitely a longer walk, since they take you to the bus/taxi area (they should use the secret drop-off point between the HRH and USF)) to get from the HRH to either of the parks! You're better off just walking! The PBH is a different story ...

It's not a long walk in the morning, when you're fresh, but after walking through 1 or 2 parks all day at 90+ degrees, it just seems worse going back in the p.m.
I agree, we did walk back to HRH on our last visit to IOA, because, as Beckles says, we thought it was about the same walking distance to the boat dock

That's the problem with Floriday in the Summer ... the heat can be sitffling! Then you get some rain to cool things down ... but then the rain stops and the humidity is more sitiffling! Of course "Summer" is also April to September, that doesn't help

Why am I going in July again?

Welcome back, figment!

I agree, whatEVER they call it, FOTL or otherwise, it's awesome!

I agree, ANY walk after a day at the park is a drag but it beats any of the walks to transportation or parking lots at Disney. And you are right THERE when you get there, not just to a mode of transportation.

I liked the boat but the walk was out of the way, to walk back is easier, and IMHO, faster. Besides, I NEVER went to the boat dock without a boat LEAVING me and two Portofinos returning... whatsUPwithat???

 

[figment85]

Yeah, we noticed that too. 2 Portofinos for every HRH! At least we were waiting in the shade.
