ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT INFO...FAQ and more......

[Soldier's*Sweeties]

Any idea were the king suites are located or have any recommendations for requests? High floor is something we always ask for, and I'm noting to ask for themepark/pool view. I've only stayed in regular rooms before, but as a party of 4, we like more space than my usual party size of 1 or 2.

We have a king suite booked too. Thanks for asking! I was wondering the same thing.

Totally worth the price difference, right? Disney suites get outrageous!

 

[schumigirl]

Thanks! I’ll try to call and ask them for that. Have to warn them we’re probably arriving after midnight too thanks again @schumigirl

Good idea to let them know about a very late arrival......they knew when we were arriving from New York we wouldn't be there till around 1am.....ended up being 2.30am we got there, but that's another story....lol...…

You are so welcome...….happy to help

It was only like $30 more per night than the HRH. I couldn’t resist.

What is your favourite tower for a standard room? We’re going in early July, I was thinking nearest the boat dock would be nice? What’s everyone’s opinion on this?

We just returned, I booked a standard view room and had a very nice view in T1 5th floor. I had originally requested T3 but discussing view with check in on what options my best view would be, she consulted with room assignor and said T1 room. The view was very pretty facing front of resort waterway and terraced garden. To the left I could see Rip Rocket. Short cut to walking path thru the pool gate nearest T1. If there’s another one I never found it lol. It was 50/50 whether we walked or boat.

I believe folks will start to see some work being done in the front area of the lobby from tomorrow.....most of the work so far has been behind the scenes.

November seems to be the completion date for the work.

Yes, I was very happy to see there was no construction in lobby while we were there, since it was our first stay here and the lobby is so pretty. There was only one small construction wall up.

Yes, we just got back and there was only one tiny wall by the elevators for tower 3. Hard to believe that they need to do renos. The hotel is so lovely already.

It is isn’t it!

It’ll be different not seeing it the same anymore, but what they’re changing it to will be beautiful also, just a different beautiful......the sushi bar sounds gorgeous and that, I can’t wait to see over everything else.....sounds gorgeous what they have planned.





Concierge desk should be moving first........quite a few screens up yesterday and some noise around check in. They will try to minimise guest disruption but it’s a major revamp.....so always going to be some noise.

So excited to see the changes overall........

First Timer - Club Level Room Only / Aug 27-Sept 1 / 2 Adults, 1 15yr. old son

I have accumulated several Visa Gift Cards with hopes of using to pay the remaining balance of our stay. Can I do this online? Older posts seem to indicate I need to exchange them for Universal gift cards, is this true?

Also our son will be turning 16 during our stay, is there anything I can do or ask for to make this super special for him?

Thanks so much! We're so excited!

I don’t know about Visa Gift Cards but you can ask for any celebrations to be noted on your reservation. I don’t know what it will do. I had my birthday noted on reservation and never got so much as a Happy Birthday at check in. This was 2 weeks ago. But we loved RPH.

Thank you! We went to Universal Hollywood last year, first time there too and my son was King! Stayed at Hilton and they sent a beautiful cake, fruit tray and assorted beverages all free of charge. At the park he was gifted a Ravenclaw Tie when he purchased his robe. Everyone was amazing there helping him with his new wand, a professor introduced our son to a Prefect who stayed with him teaching and sharing wisdom. Great photos & memories for sure!

Concierge desk and vacation planning desk have now moved to nearer the front entrance of RPR.....

Desks look lovely......it’ll be stunning when finished.

Thank you I did see that and looked though it prior to posting. I was thinking more like birthday buttons... you know, free stuff.

The hotels at UO can give out buttons
If they are out of them, guest services at the parks can issue them to you

Either one can write in your celebration on them

To get free stuff for a celebration, depends on ?

I’ll read how some peeps have received things at the hotel or the parks and think how sweet that was

I hope you and your son have an awesome vacation
Turning 16 is a big event in a teens life!

I forgot about the free buttons at Universal in Calf. WE did get those! Excellent! Thank you

We were pleasantly surprised at the amount of attention we got from the character meets just by wearing the anniversary buttons! Made the trip much more memorable! Highly recommend the buttons when you are celebrating!

This is great! We didn't do character meets in Calf. and I did buy the photo package for our upcoming trip, now we have something sweet to look forward to! Thank you

We did the photo package and it was great! Not all of the character meets had photographers with them. The ones that didnt usually had someone who would take your picture. Well worth the money
