Hi there...we will be arriving the morning of Thurs. 7/27 for a quick trip to Universal prior to a cruise....we have the HRH hotel booked with a garden view...any tips on a smooth check in that morning..want to be in the parks that afternoon. Will we get our passes upon checkin? Have the 2 day/2park passes included.

Hi, it's me again from England. Sorry i didn't have time to reply to your questions before - dinnertime here!

We checked-in last year at 8.00am, they take your luggage off on a trolley thing(!) and give you a receipt for it. They then give your room keys which allow you to FOTL at the parks. You are asked to either phone, or they will phone you when room is ready. I seem to remember it was about 15.00 when it was ready. Don't know about your park tickets because ours come as paper vouchers with our travel company (Virgin) so we have to go to customer services at the park gates to swop them for hard tickets.

It is such a cool hotel that we are going back again in May for 5 nights. Hope this answers at least some of your questions - i'm sure other people will know far more than me, there are some real experts on these Forums.
