ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[Hug the Mouse]

Past couple of years at RPR the boat down at the pool with the waterguns hasn't been working. Anybody know why? or if they are working again. My kids would really want to know

They were working March 9th

This is the link I bookmarked for the resort map (hope it works!)
http://www.wdisneyw.co.uk/rprmap.html

I have been reading the room assignment thread for RPR and it is my understanding if you want a park view then it would not be a pool view room. We plan to just stick with our original request if they give us a specific room and not go for the upgrade.
However, I could be completely wrong since we haven't actually BEEN there yet!

Thank you for the map link!

It seems like if you're in Tower 1, the pool view would be opposite to the park view, but if you're in Tower 3 the pool is in the same direction as the park. I guess I'll just find out when I get there!

I believe you are right after I finished reading all the room posts. I am mainly concentrating on Tower 1 because we would rather walk than take the boat.

Have fun on your trip!!! We don't go until Christmas. My sister is coming from CT, hopefully no winter storms to kill all my planning!

Thanks! We did Disney/Universal for our honeymoon last year, but we didn't stay on Universal property. It was our first time there, and we fell in love with it. I couldn't resist booking a short trip back for our anniversary. It was going to be a surprise for my husband but I couldn't take keeping the secret anymore!

I've gone to Disney the last few years in January and I've been okay with the weather. Think positive thoughts for December!

From what I gathered from this site & others, room 1725 is good? I called last night & had them add the request to our reservation. Was that the right choice?

 

[katiee511]

That is one on my 'short list'. That section of Tower 1 is where we will request. Such great comments about it here from the people who know!

yep....an excellent view of IOA from there. We stayed a couple doors down in 1729 a couple years ago...it was awesome 1733, 1731, 1729, 1727, 1725...you get the idea...they all face IOA

None that I'm aware of ....but AlexandNessa may be able to help you better with that....they only stay King Suites and are more the 'expert' than I

[bubba's mom]

You bet

I see that Tower 1 is the place to request- can someone recommend a Kids Suite in that tower that I can request for August? Thanks everyone!

Wanted to forewarn you that the Kid Suites are new for this year (reno's were over the fall/winter) and not many (esp. the 'veterns') have stayed in Kid Suites. Didn't want to leave you hanging for an answer when it may be quite awhile till someone posts here who has actually stayed in one

OK I'm hoping not to have to read through 39 pages...

so is there a 'summary' page like you often see on these threads to help me?

Also where are the 'deals'?? Everyone always talks about Universal being less expensive so can someone explain what type of discounts they have? Typical AAA? or do they also have codes like WDW? Is there a quick and dirty summary someone can link me to also so I don't annoy people? This resort looks great!

I love the front of the line concept although not really sure how it works except you need to stay 'onsite'....I'm not sure about the Platinum thing..but I imagine it's like frequent flyer miles?

Kids will be 9,7,6 when we go. They loved all rides at WDW [ToT and Dinosaur and EE were scary but they did em, all too short for RnR]

Thanks so much.

Trish

Only summary page I can think of is the FAQ (but, that may be about the parks....)

These are the discount rates for the hotels: 3+ nights = Supersaver, AAA and Annual Pass. That's about it, and you'll find the Supersaver (if available for your dates) the best rate, with AAA the next best rate. They don't have 'codes' like Disney, as they are Loews Hotels....just sitting on Universal property

I love the front of the line concept although not really sure how it works except you need to stay 'onsite'....I'm not sure about the Platinum thing..but I imagine it's like frequent flyer miles?

If you stay onsite, your room key acts as your Express Pass...unlimited for your whole stay (unlike the Express Pass Plus, you purchase it and it's only good 1x each attraction).

The Loews First Card (which is free and you can register for one at the Loews website) is like a frequent flyer type thing...you don't get any room discounts w/ it, but rather perks: late checkout, use of fitness center, welcome gift, paper, etc.... You raise your status level by number of stays (all explained at Loews site). You start out as a "Blue" level, then "Gold" and finally make it to "Platinum"....the higher your status, the better free upgrades you get on your room

Kids will be 9,7,6 when we go. They loved all rides at WDW [ToT and Dinosaur and EE were scary but they did em, all too short for RnR

Thanks so much.

They will love everything at UO....unless they aren't tall enough for Dueling Dragons and Hulk.... They sound like very brave/daring kids

What is the best way to make a tower/room request...fax or phone?

I requested 7th floor in Tower 1 when I made the the reservation, but the reservationist (is that a word??) said they don't take requests and that 7th floor rooms were Club level. Also, how soon would you make the request. We leave in 25 days!!!

Thanks in advance! Planned my first WDW vacation a couple of years ago from info on the DIS forums, and have done the same since moving over to the dark side! Love it that folks are so willing to share their knowledge!

Only the 7th floor of Tower 3 is club. Tower 1 has no club. You got an idiot reservationist (i'm not sure it's a word either. ). Call back, and if you have a specific room in mind, request the specific room. If the same person answers that gave you a hard time, then just hang up and try again.
