We might be arriving late Saturday night we have reservations on the 23rd till the 27th my question is will they let us stay in the lobby or our car ? If we tell them we arrived early would we have to pay for parking that night really didn't want to spend another 100 on a hotel for only a few hours.

If your car arrives before midnight on the 22nd I imagine you'll be charged the extra nights parking fee as the fee starts one minute after midnight. Talk to them about it.

I have no clue really, but folks are around the lobby area during the night as folks do check in 24 hours..........so you'd probably be ok to sit and wait till you can check in.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this link here or not, so Mod remove if against the rules.

We use Gene Tau:

http://taxi-mco.com/Drivers/Eugene Tau.htm

Gene is a really nice older gentleman that owns his own SUV. We met him years ago and use him whenever we don't use DME. He's a great guy with lots of knowledge of the area and lots of stories to tell. I think he charges a flat rate of $55 from the airport to RPR. He drives a big Suburban so lots of room. Most importantly he is reliable and trustworthy.

Not a problem
Always good to let readers know of options they can use

I use Tony Hinds and his prices are lower

When I am traveling, I prefer to use local business to help support them

The large companies will always be around but not the small independent business man

We all have options and when you find a transportation company you like, it is good to use them

Thank you for sharing another company that is an option for our readers

Just called RPR and they were very nice and friendly and they said if we arrived early they would not charge us the extra $22 and we can stay in the lobby or car but if our room is ready after midnight we can check in . They assign rooms about 5 days prior I am guessing. thank you to everyone on here it has been a great help.

That's excellent. I did wonder if they would waive the charge if you explained, glad to hear they will.......

Won't be long now........

We love going in the Fall since the kids are still in elementary we figured how often are we going to get this chance so we are taking them out and having family fun for 2 weeks in Orlando. After Universal on to Disney.

I'm going to call when I get off of work but just wondering, does anyone how RPR deals with a room upgrade request? As in, if you have a standard view room and want to upgrade to a water view, will they cancel the whole reservation and you have to rebook? Or can they just upgrade on your current reservation and you pay the difference for the first night deposit?

We had a water view room but had to cancel and went to standard room since it's in the same hotel they move over your payments to the other room. Now if you were switching hotels they would then have to cancel and rebook.

Hello. New here. I tried to read through this thread, but it is late and I am very sleepy. I am seriously considering spending my 50th birthday at Universal. I am looking at room options. Normally I would go for the least expensive, but my hey, it will be my birthday, so why not splurge a little?
We will be a party of 2 adults and one teenager. Our last Universal trip was in 2013 and I think we stayed at a Sea World property.
If I understand correctly:
1.if we booked a standard king room at RPR we would need a roll away for the third person, but if we got a suite then there would be a sofa bed.
2. It is a short walk from the hotel to the theme parks.
3. There is no free shuttle from the airport to the hotel like WDW has?

Anything else I should know?

 

[macraven]

No free shuttle

But there is a paid shuttle you can book

Other choices would be private car service, taxi, etc

You can rent a roll away bed for $25 per night
Or have star service provide you with linens to make a pallet on the floor for sleeping

Suites have the pull out sofa

Walk to the park from rpr could be 6-7 minutes
