Just got back - 10 Tips and Suggestions!

[obie25]

Just got back from an 8 day 7 night stay at Royal Pacific. Had a great time!

Here are my tips and suggestions.

1. Stay on site! Express pass makes it worth it!

2. Stay in Tower 3. The days we wanted to take the boat back outnumbered the times we wanted to walk. I highly recommend Tower 3. (We stayed in Tower 1)

3. Show your AAA everywhere! Only got turned down a couple of spots.

4. Buy the souvenir drink cup and popcorn! Totally worth it!

5. WARNING: Burger King Whopper bar DOES NOT take the hotel card as a form of payment. Found this out...after waiting in line. Very sad and angry evening.

6. Dont order TOO much at the restaurants. Order one meal for two people. The portions are huge!

7. Pool hop! Kids had a great time at the different pools. (We actually like Royal Pacific pool the best!)

8. Buy breakfast foods and snacks....helps save some dough.

9. Go to Harry Potter in the morning. We found the evenings...still packed.

10. Buy butterbeer -- Frozen. Amazing.

I may do a trip report in a bit!

Happy Day!

Yep, those are great tips. We never use the room charging, rather pay cash.

Glad you had a great time. We leave in 6 days for 9 days.

This thread would be a better fit on the Trip Reports board.

if you show your triple A card.....you get 10 percent off your total! Restaurants....stores.....the only place off hand ....that didn't take it was Jakes bar and restaurant...
