Just back from a week at IOA and Universal. Stayed at the Royal Pacific. It was great as usual but also as usual that week seems to fly by in a blink of an eye.

Let me know if anyone has any questions.
 
Did you have any issues at check-in? Did you get the room you had reserved?
 

hi all, i also just returned today and had a great time, stayed also at the rpr..everything worked out great, no problems with check in or check out.and no lines with fotl..longest wait 10 min. and that was for ET.
 
Do you know, by chance, which restaurants give a AAA discount? :) Since you were just there.

Was it crazy hot? We Mainers just had our first heat wave!
 
Some minor issues on check in, requested a park view and didn't get it, the check in guy was nice but couldn't speak english all that well, got some names wrong on the cards despite me actually writing them down for him. We did get a decent view of the river/moat thing in the front, which is a pretty good view, but not the park view.

Very very very hot. I'm from Arkansas so that wasn't that big of a deal but if your from Maine oh myyyyy.

Very nice time as usual, I never let the little things bug me at all. Pretty pricey as usual but that's to be expected.

Crowds were outrageous, there had to be 100,000 people in each park every day, very packed.

No problem with most of the lines at all, with our room key we walked on most rides 90% of the time. Small waits for some, the Mummy was closed for a while and when it re-opened the fast pass line was almost as long as the regular line, but that was to be expected with the temporary shut down.

The RPR is getting a little worn from use, I'm sure that is why they are renovating but I did not see any renovations going on just heard about it on here. Nothing to see there, I wasn't really worried about it. The room was still nice/decent, but obviously not as **** and span as when we first went for the first year or 2 it was open.

Still had a great great time, can't wait to go back. Probably will try off season next time to avoid the crowds.

I tell you this if you didn't have the fast passes you would have been S-out of luck. The regular waits were all about 60 minutes to 90 at least on just about every ride. Fast pass is the ONLY way to go.

Let me know if there are anymore questions or if I missed anything.

I've never stayed onsite before (It costs enough money for the flights and fuel surcharges getting there from Scotland without paying for comparatively luxurious rooms - so we tend to stay at a motel on I-Drive) but have always gone 'off-season' (May 2000, May 2001, October 2004 and soon to be October 2007!) and hardly ever experienced long waits to get on rides. I found the average wait around 20 minutes for each ride. I don't mind that so much because I like to find out the story before getting on the ride. Makes it more fun!

I'm not sure I would ever go during the peak season, with it being so hot, humid and crowded. If I were to go during peak season I would probably stay onsite. I guess when I eventually have kids the off-peak thing won't be an option any more due to school. That's a long way off for me just now though ;)
