Day 1
Arrived about 5:30 pm and there were no rooms available on club level which is what we had booked so for the night we ended up in Tower 2 but had club level cards went over had a bite to eat and then went over to Universal and did Jimmy Neutron, Twister, Earthquake and Jaws, then went back to the hotel to go to bed for an early start the next day.
Day 2
Went back to universal did all of the rides and the room key for express access was the best thing going, my DH just looked at me and said you did good with this I love it had a quick bite at Mel's diner went back to the hotel to check into our room on club level which was not ready yet but we were compensated for our troubles by the assistant hotel manager for our troubles on check in day and this one finally got into our room and went swimming and rested then went back to the park at night to just explore the little side street, tribute to Lucy ect.
Day 3
Went to Sea World all I can say is the bus service to Sea World is not exactly very good, but sea world was OK.
Day 4
Went to Islands of Adventure, did I believe it is Dudley Du Rite Rick Shaw Falls not quite sure of the name of the log ride, and then went over to Popey's Rapids ride and got totally soaked, which was out intent as it was so hot, we were comfortable being soaked, did the rides inbetween, and then went to Jurasic Park and were warned about the River Ride and the big sharp tooth (T-Rex but my DD calls them sharp tooths) at the end and my 5 yr old DD knew it was coming, but when she actually saw it she got really scared and put her head down just as we were going down and when we came out and she looked at me she was covered in blood, she had hit her head on the cushioned bar and bit her lip, looked much worse than it was and she was fine after we cleaned her up. Went and had lunch at Mythos, that was one of the best meals we had. Went back to the hotel for a swim and some rest, we had just finished swimming when a little boy who was running from the play area to the pool slipped and split his head open, and got blood in the pool so then had to close the pool and treat it. That night the kids went to the Mariners club, and we went to dinner at Chop Chopp, which has very good, and the kids loved the club.
Day 5
Went back to Universal Studios to do the shows, first one was at Nickelodeon Studios which ended up being the highlight of our trip for my DD's. They had the kids in there seats and the parents in their seats, and they were looking for a kid to get slimed and all of the sudden we here the voice of the little girl who is getting slimed say her name and it's my 5 yr old DD so we are now the slime family I had to change her into other clothes we played the games and now it is time for the slime my 8yr old DD gets to pour the slime over her sisters head which made her very happy because she wanted to be slimed, and then they tell me I have 2 minutes to shower her get her dressed and get out, boy was that a challenge, but we did it and she was given a certificate did MIB Jaws again Then the rain came and our day was done and we were all tired but we did watch the fire works from the beach at RPR and explored all of the hotel to see were everything was and it is a beautiful hotel.
Day 6
Went to Wet and Wild and as I said the bus service is terrible took a cab home because of a storm that came in and the bus was not coming back for 2 hours but the cab fare was only $4.25 back to RPR which was well worth it to us then we went to City Walk and ate at Margaritaville, the DD's loved the balloon hats they got, and then did a little shopping and returned back to the hotel around 9:00.
Day 7
Went back to both parks to do the things that we had missed such as Animal Planet Live Show, the Wild west Show, Beatlejuice grave yard review, ET because the ride had broken down when we were in line, and Shrek 4D.
All I can say is on the plane home both my children said to me mom if we come back here can we go back to Universal and not Disney we liked the rides and show so much better and this was the best trip we have ever had and the club level was just great the food was good and the water, soda and coffee along with the fruit saved us alot of money wouldn't hesitate to stay club level again.
On club Level for breakfast it was the same every morning, danish 4 different types fresh fruit (watermellon, honeydew, kiwi) cereal, toast bagels with cream cheese both plain and mango, or butter and jelly.
Mid afternoon they had whole pieces of fruit and water, soda.
5 to 7 pm was beer, wine coffee, soda, water along with vegetables and dip, cheese tray and the main dish changed everynight, one night we had noodles with shrimp and crab in it another night was a beef dish with vegetables such as mushrooms broccoli onions and was really good another night there were sandwiches, turkey ham and cheese roast beef with a macaroni salad.
Then from 8 to 9:30 there were cookies, and little chocolates, and some gingerbread squares.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to answer them if I can.
