ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[GetGlowing]

We have an upcoming Saturday night stay and plan to be in the parks both Saturday and Sunday. How early can you check in? I guess we won't do WWoHP on Saturday and save that for Sunday and use early admission.

most people aren't aware the lobby is ON the 3rd floor

Thanks for that I didnt know that either. So are there rooms in floors 1 and 2 then?
Also can anyone tell me if there is a toaster in the room. Due to health and saftey I didnt know if they supplied them.I know the other two resorts we are visiting do but they are DVC studios.

Yes there are rooms on floors 1 and 2. No toasters in the rooms.

I think it is the Lather brand. It is nice stuff.

Yep, it is Lather. Hair Wash, Body Wash, Conditioner, and lotion. Nice size bottles too.

Somewhere on this thread I had read that we would be able to use the fitness area to shower after using the pool on the day we checked out. We were able to do that (for free) and it was very helpful before heading to the airport.

Thanks! That's a few less things to pack. I will probably still bring my own conditioner though. My hair doesn't like that Florida heat and humidity.

Really? We have a stay coming up and would love to get in that early. Did you have to request that time? We were told check-in was much later in the day.

I just signed up for the YouFirst Program, will I receive any benefits? Read that first timer's do not get anything, but does it just depend on TM checking you in? We stayed back in 2008...can that be applied to the account?

Thank you for any input in advance.

We checked in and our room was ready. However, that is rare. What they will do is store your luggage and then call your cell when your room is ready. They still give you a set of room keys that will be used as your express passes and early entry identifications.

When you make your reservation, ask the person what your status is. Things have changed and I'm not sure if you were before or after the changes.

Thanks for the input. Literally just signed up for the program so probably too late.

Nah, they don't count stays retroactively.

Thanks for the response on my question about public restrooms, Damo. Are all of the towers connected indoors to the lobby, or are they separate buildings?

You can get to the lobby indoors from all of the towers.

Just got back from a 6 day 5 night stay at RPR. Loved it!!!

My SO and I got to RPR last Saturday around 2pm and to my surprise our room was ready! I had called and requested a king bed and to not be in Tower 2 because of my allergy to dogs and smoking. Both of those requests were honored and the front desk guy was very courteous in pointing that out. We were in room 3243 which was considered a "garden view" which pretty much meant a view of tons of trees. Didn't bother us because we were barely in our room.

We ate once in The Islands dining room, The Orchid Lounge, and Jake's American Bar. We enjoyed all three. I will be the first to say, I was really suprised by the portion sizes of the entrees. At the Islands I ordered the Seafood Alfredo pasta for I believe $18 and it came in a HUGE bowl. I couldn't even finish half of it. Same goes for Jakes, I ordered some seafood pasta dish and it was HUGE too.

Water taxi was very convenient for returning to the hotel after a long day at the park but for early entry days, we just walked the path since the boats don't start until 0730.

We loved loved loved the huge king bed! It was so comfortable and we never had a problem with our room not being cleaned. Heck, one day we even went back to the room around 1 pm to rest and it had already been cleaned. No problems with the air conditioning either. We had it set on 65 the whole time we were in the room and it felt great!

It did get a little noisy in the hallways but it is understandable for a "family hotel" and we didn't mind it that much.

Went to the concierge yesterday to have them check us in online for our flight today and they printed our boarding passes.

All in all, it was a great place to stay and the FOTL access with room keys was sooooooo worth it!!

John_RN,

Thank you so much for the update and glad to hear everything went smooth.
