ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[DBC]

Hi,

I just made reservations for 4 nights at Royal Pacific.

Does any one have a site for pictures of the resort and pool....The universal site is poor for photo's, and the DIS site won't let me right click on the photo...I want to use it as my desktop wallpaper......

Thanks for your help in advance!!!

Try this one:

It's not big enough to cover the whole screen but it looks pretty good

What is an "Entertainment" rate and how do you get it?? Thanks in advance!

 

[gschmerl]

The Entertainment rate is the rate people USED to get from the Entertainment Book. The Universal Hotels are no longer offering the entertainment rate.

Ok this might be a dumb question but I have not stayed at a whole lot of motels in the past 20 years. Does the hotel have thoes nice carts you can load up with your luggage and coolers to bring up to your room? If I do not want to pay for VP can I just pull up to the crub put my stuff on the cart and wait while hubby parks the car and just roll my stuff to my room on my own? Thanks

i stay at hrh and the employees will load up the cart for you.

if you pay them give them $1/bag.
if you don't want to pay them, ok.

their hand is not out expecting money when i have used them.
one employee refused the money last october.

if your room is not ready your belongings will be stored for you and you will be given a claim check. if that is the case, your stuff will be put on a cart in order to put it in a secure locked room. you retrieve your stuff once your room is assigned. many people check in and if the room is not ready, just go to the park. their stuff is stored and you don't want to waste time hanging out at the hotel and miss park time.

how many bags are you talking about? if it is more than 5-6, why not let the valet handle it.

I was mostly worried about the cooler, they are always so heavy, the bags have wheels anyway. As for the valet - I was just trying to save money, I know it's not much but those little things seem to add up so quickly and I have allready overspent on this vaca. Also it's weird but I hate people to do things for me. Last year DH got me a facial, ped. and manacure for our ann and I was just very uncormfortable with people pampering me. I couldn't hardly stand the ped. I felt stupid sitting there while someone rubbed my feet. I know I'm a weirdo. The facial was wonderful though.

Ok so I am sort of nuts when it comes to spending a ton of cash. Well I decided to look into the whole KIDS GO FREE deal. Well once I started searching and I found Mousesavers I decided to buy the Entertainment book for Orlando. If you purchase the book through Mousesavers it is only $20 and you will get a $25 dinner GC. When I completed my order it let me search through their website. I typed in hotel in Orlando. I got a great rate for the RPR. We got the Royal Club Room for $261 per night. That includes breakfast, cocktail hour, and snacks throughout the day. Plus the fitness center is open to the guest on this level. We also do get the Party Pass. Our kids are 4 and 6 so convience and ease was our goal. When our stay is complete we will also get a $40 rebate for staying 4 nights. I also got my book which contains a coupon when I pick up our park tickets to get $14 in Universal Scrips, and also a free dinner and movie at CityWalk. All in all that book saved us over $500 when you add it all up. I highly recommend purchasing the book.

 

[missmolly]

how does the rebate work? Do you have to book through them? I had been thinking of getting the book but bought an AP instead because I felt the savings was better for our situation but would be interested in the rebate and the free meal. And I guess the free scrips!

 

[macraven]

don't worry, you did good by buying the ap.

to use the coupons for the free scripts:

you have to buy the 2 day 2 park ticket at the gate and give the coupon for free universal scrip at that time of purchase in order to get the $7 of scripts.
if you buy the 3 day 2park tickets, you get $10 of script.


to get the universal script, it has to be done when you buy the tickets at the park, not buy them on line in advance.
there is not discount on the tickets when you use the ent coupon for scripts.

the op has not bought her tickets yet and she is going to use the coupons in the ent book. she is not getting the 5 day passes or free kids tickets the way she is booking. you can not combine 2 specials for tickets.
she states she is staying for 4 days. don't know if she is buying the 3 day pass and spending one day at the hotel or what. i got a tad confuse with what she stated on the tickets until i looked it up in the ent book.

If you purchase the book the rebate page is inside the book, and on the website. You have to buy the book to access the website. I don't know what the AP is. The rebate is submitted when you complete your stay at the hotel. You fill out a few blanks and mail it in. The money is creditted to the credit card that you used to book the hotel. I figured out it is just enough to cover the parking fee at RPR. I hope this helps! I bought our park tickets online. We got the 2 day passes with children free + 3 days. For a total of 5 days for all 4 of us. This coupon in the book says to present this when I pick up our tickets and get $7 per adult ticket purchased in Universal Scripts. The park tickets were $8 cheaper online.

Do you know if you have to book thru them to get the rebate or is it just some kind of general rebate? AP is an annual Pass. You get some really great discounts with that. I did but the book thru mouse savers because it was only 23.49 with shipping and I am soposed to get a $25 restaurant gift certificate. So that will make the book free and I figured the movie and meal deal will just be a bonus free meal for us all if I understand how things are working correctly. I will look into that rebate too but I have a feeling that won't work for be because I already booked my room thru lows with the AP discount. We got just the basic room for $149 a night last week in March. Thanks for you info.

 

[Melanie230]

Yes you have to book the room through Entertainment. The rebate offer is when you book through them. You did get a better deal with your AP pass. I just checked and the standard rooms at RPR are now $187 a night. I don't know what they were when I booked our Royal Club room. I know the rates have gone up a bit, and availability is almost gone. Also if you want check out Hard Rock Cafe website. They have a PX ticket. You can reserve yourself a table on a set night and you won't have to wait that night for a seating! We are going to figure out which night to go and book a PX!

 

[missmolly]

Wow - cool thanks for the info! Only three and a half weeks!!!!!!!!!!

Is there a room coupon from the entertainment book for the Royal Pacific Resort? I have two rooms booked right now without a discount because of the Holiday rate. 04/09 -04/14. I have not had time to read all of these post. I did type in the AAA and the APH and nothing came up.

 

[Melanie230]

No coupon. But if you buy the book you can browse their website for a discount.

Can you use the frig in the room to store milk to use for cereal and breakfast each morning?

 

[Melanie230]

Ours was one of those frig's full of candy and soda. We didn't even have a key. So I don't think you can.

 

[macraven]

Can you use the frig in the room to store milk to use for cereal and breakfast each morning?

when i was at the hard rock you could use the fridge for a charge of $15 per day.
probably a charge at rph also then

when i checked in at hrh, i was asked if i wanted the bar key for the fridge.
i declined as i would have to take all their stuff out and put mine in and then reverse it. my soda would be warm by the time i could use it again.

the maids check the fridge everytime they clean the room and sign off on it.
if somethings are missing in there, you are then charged for it.

its not worth it in order to save $15

Can someone explain what the partypass is? This will be our first time to US in years and I'm afraid I'm out of the loop!!

Help Please!
