Thanks!

If you don't have a car, you don't pay the parking fee.

On our last few trips, we've had a towncar supply round trip service between MCO and our onsite hotel (RPR, HRH, PBH). Round trip service has cost between $100 and $130. A grocery stop between the airport and hotel is complimentary for most Orlando towncar services. Because we don't have a car, we don't get charged the $15 per night.

Can someone tell me where to find the AAA code or what it is? We are going in June and I would love to save the extra $$$$ we are booking two rooms so the saving would add up really quick!

thanks

The best way to check the AAA rate is on the AAA site or by calling the hotel directly. If you let me know your dates I can check the AAA site for you. You may also want to consider buying one annual pass as sometimes it's worth it for the discount. You should only need one for both rooms....Just looking at random dates in June I am showing $251 for a standard room AAA...staying 3 nights...

Looks like the standard rate for a standard room $279 is your best bet that week. The only AAA rate left is waterview for $300. Don't see any APH rates for that week. But still, call the hotel directly and ask the best available rate.

Good morning! Planning our first stay at Universal (Royal Pacific) for Aug 4th and 5th. Do they ever float any deals out there like DW does? I'm looking at just booking through AAA, but wanted to make sure that'll be my best price.

Also, if I book my hotel seperately from my tickets (instead of doing a package), will we still get the same perks of early entry into the parks and fast pass??

Thanks for the help!

Thanks, but we are driving down this trip, so no way of getting out of paying the parking.

Definitely call universal directly. I looked at prices online through AAA and then called. When I called there was a $140 difference (lower) between what I saw online and what I booked over the phone!

Yes. Early entry into HP and unlimited access to the Express line is a benefit to all on-site hotel guests!

Depending upon when you go, onsite guests also get preferred seating at the Citywalk restaurants. This means that you should be seated quicker if you show up without a reservation. For example, someone staying off property might get quoted a wait time of 45 minutes, while your wait time might be 20 to 25 minutes. This doesn't apply to Emeril's and, last I heard, Bubba Gumps. Of course, with the restaurants now on Opentable.com, making a reservation to one has never been easier.

That's great to know, I did not kow this. Thanks so much. We are there only two nights (a Sat and a Sunday 8/25 and 8/26), so I am guessing for at least Saturday Night dinner ressie's would be advisable? I know that is the start of considered "off season, but I am guessing CW gets crowded on a Sat night?

I would guess that Citywalk is crowded every Saturday night, not only from tourists, but locals too.

That's what I was figuring. Thanks again

Hi All!

This is our first trip to IOA. We are staying one night at Royal Pacific. We can't wait.

This is a very long thread, so I won't be able to read it all. I will read some of the first few pages and the last few. I hope no one minds if I ask questions that might have already been asked.

We are so excited about IOA and RPR.

If you are looking for specific info in this thread you can also click search thread and type in what you want to know. I like to show the results as posts, easier to get through that way for me. Have fun, of course I love planning trips so that's half the fun for me lol.

What is the buffet breakfast like?

What is the buffet breakfast like?

From what I remember Continental style but NOT free, kind of pricey. I was not thrilled with the Hotel, I did not feel as if it were lean, guess I am a spoiled Disney girl!

Meant to say "I didn't feel as if the room was CLEAN"!!!

I think they mean the buffet down in the Islands Restaurant, not the continental breakfast offering in the Orchid Court.

We really enjoyed it. Lots of choices with a bit of an Islands flare.
