Here is my report...I will try to make it brief.
Left on Fri. am. We were delayed by fog!!:( Arrived at 12:00 ish...Our room was ready...but no upgrade available as the hotel was full. (evidently Best Buy had booked a gazillion rooms at the RPH) so every place was booked. Nice room, beautiful bay view. (except for the fog between the window panes) A little less than I expected...toilet clogged...had to call...broken lamp..had to call. DH was having a hissy fit "not a 5 star" he says. But it got better. The beds are heavenly as is the huge bathroom. I had to call for my welcome gift and even though I notified them of the Bdays we would be celebrating....nothing happened.
Did the parks during the day...swam at night. The kids loved the beach pool...and I loved the chocolate martini I had there. Did not do HHN...too exhausted. Didn't want to deal w/ crowds.
DS lost his room key one day at the parks...but it was easily replaced.
Ate at Mama Dellas....WONDERFUL..great food, excellent service. Ate at NASCAR Cafe..good burgers....Margaritaville...Good Margaritas and great food. Had the breakfast buffet at the Kitchen...very good as well. I would consider trying a stay there next trip.
All the rides were great. I even went on the Hulk...and I am a "It's a Small World" kinda gal. I had my eyes closes most of the time!!! Loved MIB and the Mummy...went on them twice. Thank goodness for the FOTL deal. We walked on many rides. It was great. Also good for meals. People were waiting for tables...I just flashed the key and we got seated.
All in all it was a good time....I really wanted to be awakened this morning by Betty Boop....but alas I am home now
:(
 
Sounds like a great trip! We leave tomorrow and are staying at RPR. One question.....your room key also gets you seating at restaurants before other people?
 
YES:) There were people waiting for a table at the NASCAR cafe. They were told it would be a 15min. wait. We went next, I flashed the card and we were seated right away. It was a beautiful thing.

Have a great trip. (tip: wear quick drying clothes to IOA. The water rides will get your drenched...but boy, are they fun)
 

Sounds like a good time. Try HRH next time but be forewarned that we had fog on our pool view windows last time at HRH. The kids will love the Hard Rock pool.
Hulk and Mummy are quite a step up from Small World! Congrats!
