ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[sicjoy]

Here is a link to info on the Universal Studios website. It mentions early admission (EA), but nothing specific.

Please someone else correct me if I am wrong with this info: EA is only for those who stay "on-site," which means that you stay in one of the Universal hotels/resorts. There is so much info about the early admission to WWoHP which is one hour earlier than regular admission (instead of 9 it would be 8am); however, people said that they were getting in @730am. Hope this helps out some.

Thanks. We are staying on site at RPR. So we can go to WWHOP at 8AM then?

Early entry is also for those with Harry Potter packages who are staying in a partner hotel.

Do you know if there is a list somewhere of these partner hotels?

How can we find out the hours for our early entry when we are there? Just ask when we check in?

The hotel will probably tell you 8 am. I would make sure I was at IOA before 7:30 just in case. I don't think 7:30 is the official time. Pay attention to these boards because I would imagine as soon as the start letting people in at 8 am, we will hear. It will most likely change as the crowd changes.

Parking is added to your hotel bill.

As long as you show them your AP at some point, it is fine. Lots of people have to go and pick it up. Showing them your voucher is probably enough. You need to go to guest services to get the AP.

Just wondering if AP holders always get some kind of discount or is it just based on a certain time periods. We're going this October and we're going to order the AP before our trip, since we live over an hour and a half away. I'm supposed to book RPR, but I've been looking around for a deal.

Nevermind. I just looked up the rate with the AP code that I found on here. For one night in Oct. 21st: $164 plus taxes. Awesome! I'm booking!

Damo do you know if I can pay cash for the remaining stay at RPR? I paid using my visa debit card for the one night and need to know so if I have to pay with visa debit again I will have to leave the money in my bank account in the uk.Dont want the payment to bounce.Also do we pay on checkin or out.Presume it is on check in.
Thanks

you can pay cash, and you pay on checkout.
they will post your bill or think i got mine online in July, if you leave it like i did, they just charge whats owed to the CC.
I paid mine with the Advance Payment Form, put money on when rate was better, so had enough to cover everything, although just charged everything to the room, so had a few $$$$ to pay at the end of it.

Sorry robert did they bill your card wfter you stayed there or before.I read your thread that you left it so they charged your card. I would rather pay with dollar cheques hpe they will accept these dont want to carry around $800on the plane from uk

 

[rpbert1]

What i owed was charged on the CC. was not a lot as i had over $2200 on account
They will accept cheques, remember reading someone paid with them.
Last year , i changed all my money rather than doing the advance payment.
We stayed 2 weeks at RPR,last year and checked my account on the TV, and just went to checkin and paid a few hundred $$ onto the account when it started mounting up.
You can pay your $ cheques into the room account when you checkin, then just check every night for any spends you have done on the room key.
Everyday they will deduct the room price then the tax and the parking, from your balance, so quite easy to keep a check on what you owe if anything.

are you sure you PAID? and not just have them run a credit card to hold credit on your acct?
