i have stayed at RPH also.

they also have the coffee pots there with the coffee pods in the room.
you can request additional coffee from star service.

the coffee in the lobby resturants is good.

cinnabon is open by 8 and has decent coffee also.

There is also starbucks in USF at the end of the block where Mummy is . I am also thinking I may have seen it in IOA but then again I think I brought it with me ?? I can't remember but I know I had it . I also remember it being at city walk too .

I've read in the other post, that RPR pool is planning for the rehub??? Do someone have any information on this issue? We are booked for 8/29-9/2 and I start to think about changing the resort.

Hi, Just wondering if anyone might have information on who I would contact at the CLUb Level to give them a 'Heads Up' about my parents 45 Wedding Anniversary. They have reservations for September 15-16 and all they would like is a pool view.
Any help will be appreciated.

You can just call the RPR front desk and ask them for the view. We always call 3 days before we go to make sure that we have a pool view.in your case though, i would call a few months ahead.

Posted this awhile ago,figure I put this on the sticky so it wonnt get buried.

All the resorts have gamerooms with really cool video games.Alot of kids enjoy it.The games donnt take money,they have a machine that takes the money and you get a card that you load money on(credits).The card itself cost $1 then whatever you load from there is your credits.DONN'T THROW THE CARD AWAY!!Its good @ all resorts.And it will cost another dollar to get another card.

Hi, this will be our first time staying at a Univ. property. We have been Disney onsiters many times. So my questions are because of what we are used to at Dis properties. Many of Dis hotels have some sort of food court/eatery places. While I notice RPH has restaurants, do any of them have counter type service? Is there a pool bar? Is there a place to buy convenience type items, pop, snacks, cookies etc many of them also sell beer/wine coolers in a 6 pack to go...thanks bunches

The hotels have restaurants, but no "food court" type of place like Disney does. You can get eats and drinks, snacks and ice creams at the pools (along w/ alcohol). You may find snacks in the gift shops, but nothing of a selection...just the minimum. So, in a nutshell, no, it's not like Disney.

Is this complex very large in comparison is other Dis ney resorts. The map does not show how spread out everything is. We have stayed at POP, Polyneisan, POFQ etc...just trying to get a comparison. Do you also know if they provide shuttle service to anywhere else other than Univ or IOA (maybe a day trip to Typhoon Lagoon we were thinking). By the looks from the map, I am thinking of requesting Tower 1 (location and perhaps a view if possible)..does anyone have any experience with any other location buildings or which do you prefer..close to parks, pools, etc....thanks again

I don't know much about the diney hotels but from what I have seen they are pretty much spread out and have to take shuttle buses but universal hotels HRH PBH and RPR are onsite and you can walk to the parks with PBH being the furthest away and they have water taxi's that drop you off at city walk .
The only free shuttle they offer is to Sea World and they do not offer shuttles to disney and pools at universal you can pool hop if you stay onsite there they actullay encourage it and I have heard tower 1 is the closest cause you can walk the path way and end up next to IOA and the HRH is the closest to the studios park.
Hope this helps

 

[macraven]

shuttle to wet and wild also provided.



all three onsite hotels are within walking distance to the parks.
longest walk would be about 15ish minutes/pbh

transportation from pbh to rph in case you want to dine at that hotel on your vacation, is available.

a bus shuttle goes to each hotel for pick up and drop offs and then to the drop off section for the parks.
one drop off area is the end of the walking path of hrh to the studios.

or you can take the water taxi from pbh to city walk docking area.
get off and then get on the rph water taxi.

you can walk it if you chose.


me, i save the feet for the walking in the parks........

There is also bus service to Aquatica. I recently found this out when booking. The only catch to the bus situation for off-site is that it comes once in the morning and once in the evening, you really don't have an every 10 minute situation like at Disney. (We will be taking the car to Aquatica for this reason).

Hi again...yet another question...I have read posts regarding transportation transfers from the airport. Mears, CBC and MH have been used by some. Can you let me know who you prefer (cost, reliability, stops to grocery store). I was actually shocked at the price difference between Mears and the others. There are 10 of us in our party. All going from airport to RPH Thanks for your input.
