The refrigerators are actually the honor bar. If you want an actual refrigerator, you need to rent one from them.

the mini bars in the room aren't very large at all. they also don't keep things cold.

you would be better off buying a styrofoam chest at publix and fill it with ice for your items you want to keep cold/chilled.

leave the chest in the bathtub when you are out of the room.
housekeeping is used to seeing them there.

or, you could rent a fridge per day for your room.

quick question . We are staying at RPR in August and have booked two rooms. I know that the hotels like to charge the $15 parking fee per room b ut since there will be only one vehicle, will it be an issue to have the second parking fee removed from the second room? I can't see having to pay twice for parking on the same vehicle. Thanks!

They don't charge per room. If you have a car you get a card to get in and out of the lot. You have nothing to worry about

Great thanks for putting me at ease on that!

Your room key gets you in and out of the car park, just let them know at checkin there is only 1 car between the 2 rooms.

[nmartin]

Wanted to know is there sand around the pool and am I right I think I have read that there is a child play area there? Can you elaborate on that?

Also thinking about going th HRH so my kids 9 and 7 may enjoy the water slide. How do I get from RPH to HRH?

We are thinking about traveling mid Sept. and I have heard about the dive in movies. Any information would be helpful.

Thanks

There is sand around the pool and the childs play area is made like a ship and has water guns they can shoot at each other and if you stay onsite they encourage you to pool hop.
So if you are staying a RPR you can go to HRH and use thier pool also

 

[rpbert1]

There is a small pool which is secure with gate and fence for very small choldren, but i reckon the zero entry area is great for young children.
There is also a sand area at the entrance/exit to the pool area with a volleyball net and a lot of loungers and chairs

book now to secure your dates.
you can modify your rate later.

play more stay more ends october 7th.
if you stay that first week of october, great discounts.

i really do like rph.
this will be my 3rd stay there.
each time i am more impressed with it.

 

[nmartin]

when I was researching pricing last year (first timers) I thought that the admission was included if you stayed on site. Was that just a promotion last year or do they offer it at specific times of the year? The reason why I am asking is we are planning to go sometime at the end of Aug. to the middle part of Sept. and I was going to buy the tickets locally now, but if that promotion does come available, that will be a lot of money wasted! Any ideas on this?

i feel your pain................
but, keep checking the rates in case the SS is extended.
that is what the TM told me last week when i called to verify if my rate had dropped any with AAA.

universal has packages that include the park tickets.

it is cheaper to book everything separate.
book the hotel only, buy the tickets on line.

i'm sure many bought the packages for hotel, tickets, etc thinking it was a sweeter deal.
it usually is not.

I have purchased my trip separately and have saved as much as $500-$600!
I've been watching prices for our early June 2010 vacation and recently have purchased all of it just from noticing prices skyrocketing on pretty much everything! We are staying 5 nights@RPR-prices on the hotel portion went down since watchful waiting and I called and had the rates adjusted from $202 for the first night, then $189 for the last 4 nights, then after the call for adjustments, it was $161 for the first night then around $149 for the remainder of the stay- a savings of over $200 just for watching and making a call! Then, I noticed that the airline tickets were starting to rise and purchased those for almost $100 cheaper than today's prices (over the cost of 4 tickets), and although I did not get in on the $99 7 day, 2 park deal at the very beginning of January, I did manage to get them for $109 adults, $99 for children just 3 days before the price shot up through Orlando fun tickets. I'm guessing that when the Universal Studios website raises their rates, the other places know their cost will go up too, so they then raise their prices also. I checked today, and even at the higher rates, it is cheaper to purchase everything one thing at a time than as a package. Our plan in June is to hire a driver to pick us up at the airport and stop of at the grocery store (included) because we have 4 people and this was almost the same price as the shuttle. Plus we will save money on breakfast food & snacks because of the grocery stop. They also said that we could order a pizza on the way to the store since we have a later flight and will most likely be hungry. I thought that was great! I like to check these threads to get ideas for savings and general information. If anyone has any ideas they would like to add that would be helpful for our trip, I would certainly appreciate it! I want this to be a fantastic trip since this is for our 20th wedding anniversary! Thanks in advance. Also, we plan on attending the Luau at RPR. If anyone has any info on this, please share. Thanks!
