i have no idea why i penny pinch on coffee pods and don't think twice on booking 12 days stays onsite.........

:rotfl:

I thought you were just paying the fee, actually!

Our added reason that we bring kcups is that we rarely have housekeeping come in every day. Either DH has come in after a work trip and has electronics that he wants to keep safer, or like last trip we were sick and just wanted to cocoon, or we just don't want Housekeeping...but since we don't have them come in every day we don't get the coffee each day.

We rarely get housekeeping too. If we need something, I'll just talk to the housekeeper. They're always happy to just give you stuff if they don't need to clean the room.
 
Does anyone have the toll free # to call RPH for AAA rates? Thanks!

Hello. The number is in the website. I just called today to book for next April and they do not have the AAA OR THE APH rates for that time yet. I booked anyway and I'll check back periodically to see when the discounts are available. When are you planning on going?

Thanks! Looking at Thanksgiving.
 
Okay, I can officially say I have a trip to IOA/us planned and am staying one night at Royal Pacific. Can't wait!! Jan 2-3 2015 hurry up and get here!!:cool1:
 
Has anyone here ever stayed in the Jurassic Park kids suite? I'm wondering if the twin beds are normal sized twins, and whether two rather tall teen boys will be comfortable in them.

I think price wise it's cheaper with 2 connecting garden view. Then you get more space also plus 2 bathrooms. :thumbsup2
 
Hello

If I book a waterview room what tower would this be in ?
I would like one that isn't in the pet tower because my son in allergic

Also is the parking charge per night or per day?

Also if I would like to eat at one of the other resorts is there an other option like a bus so that I don't have to pay for parking at that resort as well

Thanks

there are waterviews in each of the 3 towers.

T2 has the pets on the 2 lower floors.

parking is per night.
it begins at midnight so on check out day, go to the parks and remove your car before midnight and no charge for that last day for parking.

take the water taxi to (switch at city walk dock) the other hotels or walk.
driving would take too long and could be a hassle.

don't think the internal bus is a good way to hotel hop.
stops used to be at the front of the hotels a year ago, but that has changed to another bus stop.
 
Water view is tower 1 or 3. To get to the other resort you can walk, take the bus to Citywalk hub (not my choice) or take the water taxi (best way).
 
I am sooOOOooo unprepared for this July trip...

So RPR has K-cup coffee makers in the room? No need to bring an electric kettle? I generally stay away from skanky hotel coffee makers, but I could do the k-cup thing.

Also... I know you pay for parking, but WHEN and HOW do you pay? Credit card at the exit gate? On the bill? Cash?

:confused3

Thanks.
 
Kcup makers are in the room. If you have more than one coffee drinker and/or have high caffeination needs, either ask for extra (there will be a charge for the extra) or bring your own.

Parking is charged per midnight that you are there, and it's on the final bill.
 
Hello all! We will be staying at Royal Pacific fot two nights in September. This will be our very first trip to Universal and Royal Pacific. We have a few questions that we hoped you could help us with.

1. We are staying concierge level. What can you tell us about this service. Where are these roms located? Do they put out a good spread?
2. What is the quickest and preferred method to get to the parks from the resort?
3. Can you walk to the parks? What about City Walk?
4. Can you describe how this front of the line access is? Is it at all like Disneys? Is there a limit to how often you can use it?

Thanks for your help.

Club level is in tower 3 7th floor. But sometimes you can be put on another floor with car access to the 7th floor.

As for food breakfast is fine, then afternoon snacks, and evening appetizers. To us we don't do it much as we enjoy being flexible and not tied to the hotel.

To the parks are easy. Option one, water taxi, very short ride to Citywalk. This is the main area between the parks. Option two, walk, a nice path along the water taxi water way, 5-8 minutes depending on speed. Third, pedicab, they work for tips. Final method, is hotel shuttle, this drops you off at guest drop off at the theme park garages. This would be my last resort.

It's is not front of the line access really.

It is express pass and it's Unlimited! It is nothing like Disney and it will totally spoil you. Talk about never waiting more than 15 minutes for any ride. Most times it's under 5 minutes to walk on.

Also don't forget to show your hotel key when doing almost any sit down food service. You get priority seating also.

The best thing about staying onsite at Universal than Disney? It truly is a relaxing vacation with no planing needed. You can pretty much do what you want when you want, no need to plan, go with the flow. I know this is hard to do especially for Disney folks with the crazy planing, but you will see once you get there and unwind. :goodvibes
 
We have stayed at all of the onsite properties and Royal Pacific is my favorite. The theming is wonderful, it's a beautiful resort and the staff has always been great.
As I recall, when we stayed club level, the rooms weren't actually right by the club but, if you are going to pay for it you should plan your day to take advantage of it. Food was good, especially the evening offerings. But, I do remember that the evenings were a bit chaotic with lots of children in the club.
The easiest and fastest way too get to the parks is to walk from the hotel, a 10 minute walk on a beautifully landscaped path that follows the boat canal. The path ends up just next to City Walk on one side and Islands of Adventure on the other. Then, it's just a little farther to Universal. The boat from the hotel is nice when you're tired at the end of the day.
Front of the line access makes the price of the hotel room worthwhile. There's a separate line at the attractions that offer front of the line access, you simply show your room card and walk right in. Unless it's changed, there is no limit on the number of times you can use it.
We alternate themeparks, Disney one year, Universal the next. This is our Disney year, going in August. They're very different experiences and, as much as I love Disney, I really love Universal as much. It's smaller and less stressful than Disney and your choice to stay onsite is a wise one.
 
Great info! What about the dining at the resort. Do we need to make reservations? I saw there was a Luau too. That looks fun. Has anyone tried that?
 
Does anyone have Larry Beiderman General Manager email? I would like to contact him in regards to something that happen during my stay over Memorial Day? Thanks
