ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[rpbert1]

Hi , some great info on this site and looking some for myself.
i have booked a package from Ireland , and will be staying in a standard room at RPR. 06/28 to 07/05/2006. i have a lowes first ,while i wont get the stay added to my card i can use the card to checkin, anyone confirm this.
also what is the standard room like ,there are 2 adults and 1 child aged 10, are there 2 queen beds or will it be 1 queen and 1 pullout bed as i have read on some boards.
also with it being a package we will not be arriving till about 6.00pm so would i be able to ring the resort before i leave to confirm my room ,and what tower would be the best ,we are non smokers. i have requested a non smoking with the tour operator but was told they could not guarantee it
first time in Orlando and have got invaluable information from this site

Standard rooms have two queen beds in them. Yes, there is a separate check in line for Loews First card holders. Credit for your stay just might be added to your Loews First account. I booked a package (not through Loews) last summer and shortly after received my Gold card!
We faxed the RPR requesting a room on an upper floor with a park view.

I faxed them about five days before we went.

Just got back from a most wonderful stay at the RPR 8/16/05 - 8/19/05. Showed my Loews First card and was upgraded to a king size bed room with a water view (Room 1314). Room size was fine for 3 people. My 8 yrs old son enjoyed sleeping on the big chair and ottoman as it comfortably sits 2 adults. Room was clean, nice view of the pool, close to the elevators. Found the staff to be exceptional and accomodating. Everyone walking by always greeted you and would address you by name when you called on the phone. Our flight was leaving later on in the afternoon on Friday, so I called and asked if we could check out a little after the regular 11am check-out. They very nicely extended it to 12:30pm which gave us lots of time to go to the pool and get ready for our flight home.
The Islands restaurant on the ground floor of the hotel was great! Try the Panko chicken - truly awesome and tasty!
Our best experience though was at Tchoup Chop (Emeril's restaurant). Made reservations a day ahead without any problems. Talk about superior service!! Ask for Stefan, Tom and Matt. Food was great but the attentiveness of these 3 waiters made our dinner even better!
Guess you can tell we really enjoyed our stay. This was our first time staying at RPR, but it will not be our last.

I've read about so many great rates on this thread and I haven't had much luck. I'm trying to book a stay over Columbus Day Weekend (Oct. 10) and the best I could do is $229 with a free breakfast. I don't have AAA or an AP. Any other ideas? Could something else come out this close to the date?

Thanks for your help.

I thought i was getting a deal for $341.10 AAA rate for RPH Conceirge. But now I see your prices and I'm thinking I'm crazy. How do you get the Entertainment Rate? Is that the travel book they sell and are the prices always that low??

Thanks for all that can reply.

The Entertainment Rate hasn't been available this year at all. I think they're doing so well with booking rooms, that they don't have to give that rate.

Hi
i have just booked a 2 night stay (fri and sat night) through Lowes for next Aug.(used my blue card) for $229 per night.
When i was looking at other site there was a loit of tax added to this base price- does anyoen know how much the hotel is likely to add on. Also, if i see a better deal before then( the reservation can be canceled upto 5 day before)i was planning to cancel and re-book the better deal. Has anyone done this at RPR?. thanks for your help and all the info. Best wishes, Ruth

 

[Motherfletcher]

I think taxes are 11%. I've booked, canceled and re-booked at RPR without any problems. August rates should be less than $229. I'm getting $159 for an Oct. (HHN) stay.

If I plan to tour the parks the day I check in can I check in early...even if my room isn't ready and get a front of the line pass for that day. In other words I'll be visiting the parks for 2 days can I stay at the hotel only one night or do I have to stay 2. I think check in isn't until 3 but I would like to visit the parks that day. My TA doesn't seem to be able to answer this question for me.

 

[Ruth B]

HI, you can use your door key as the front of line pass on day of arrival and departure. If your room is not ready, they do the same as disney(store bag etc). i am staying 2 night next summer and plan to sepnd 3 days in the park. Best wishes, Ruth

 

[reddfrogg]

U get your room keys even if the room isn't ready!!! Yes U can use it the day U leave!!!!!

U should think about getting a premium annual pass!!! it costs $179 and your hotel room should be anywhere from about $99-179 depending on the time of year!! U get 10-15 % off other tickets for the theme park up to 6 people!!

20% off most stores at US/IOA, and 10-15% off most of the restaraunts!!

Although U might have 2 wait until about a month or 2 before 2 book it, 2 get the better rate!! The blue card doesn't give u a discount, think of it more as a mileage card the more U use it the better the perks!!!!

I was thinking about that AP. Do I go online to get it at the Universal site? Also I was thinking I'm taking my 2 children (9, 3) will they need room keys to get to the front of the line with me or is it o.k. for only the adults to have this key. Don't want to have to worry about 2 extra room keys and losing them if I don't have too.

Anyone know what kind of rate I would get at Royal Pacific hotel in Dec. 06 if I got that AP? I know it's too early to book...just wanted an idea of it's a worthwhile thing to buy.

Thanks for the answers. The Dis can give me answers my own TA can't....hmmmmm. Anyone know if there's a DIS TA out there that can also do my AAA discounts and packages. That's why I've been staying with my TA who has to call WDW travel or Universal everytime I have a question. Poor lady she spends more time on the phone finding answers for me than anything else.

On check out day we plan to goto the parks. Is there a place we can go back to and shower? The All Star Music has showers by the pool.
TIA
