ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[cpl100]

I understand what is included in the Club level room (at least I'm fairly sure that I do). What I haven't been able to determine from reading hours and hours on this site is this:

When does the lounge area become available to the guests and when do your priviliges end? Specifically, if I arrive early in the a.m., would we be able to partake of breakfast, water, whatever right away that first day or not until we are actually in our hotel room? And on the day of check-out, can we go in for evening privileges after the park closes as 6:00 that last day or do the privileges end upon check out?

Thanks. I really did search looking for this information to no avail.

Thank you for your research. There is a charge for an extra adult even when there's only two people?

Yes, we just decided on this trip so no previous planning was made or researched---just starting now.

I will continue to call them to see if maybe a room opens up with a cheaper AAA rate. How often do you suggest I call so that I have a good chance of catching a cancellation yet won't have them hating my voice by the time I actually do check in?

I appreciate your time and help. Thanks again.

oops...sorry. Limit 2 adults...more than 2 is the extra charge. You're good

You can check every couple days or keep an eye on the DIS.

I haven't stayed club, but you have access after you are checked in (whatever time that happens to be) and I believe you have access the evening of your check out. (not 100% sure, but pretty sure)

I have a question about Club Level....I'm debating whether or not it's worth it...

It is $80 more per night for our family of 4 mid March...but...if we rent a fridge for $15 a day to do cereal/snacks in our room that brings the price difference to $65 more per day.

Would it still be worth it for club level access if most of our day will be spent in the parks?

Also if we're swimming in the pool how convenient is it to get to the club level lounge for snacks and beverages?

And finally...Is beer the only thing they serve for alcoholic beverages?

Thanks for your help

I believe that wine is also complimentary in Club level and cocktails can be ordered but do have a fee. $5 is sticking in my mind from reading a post but I'm not sure how current that price is.

I've got a quick question. We will be in Orlando the week leading up to Christmas and have a house rented. I also rented one night at RPH to get two days use of FOTL. When we stayed there before, DD was spoiled by it and is really excited to have it again.

At this point, I don't even know whether we will stay in the room. While we will have four adults registered, at least two of us will go back to the house to stay if two of us do decide to stay at the hotel (just not enough room for us and DD/SiL).

I know that the hotel puts the parking charge on the bill (at least that's the way it was last time we stayed there 3 years ago), but I can't remember if they gave us a hang tag or something for the mirror (so whomever leaves can come in and out). I don't remember anything manned in the parking lot.

Also, since we'll be checking in early and leaving late in order to use both days of the FOTL room keys, will we be charged for more than one night of parking? None of this was an issue last time because we stayed several days.

Thanks!

As for giving you something to hang on your mirror for parking or not I have no idea but I think if your only staying one night you should only be charged for one night

I think so to, but I had somebody at Universal tell me that I would be charge per 24 hour period. Of course, my timeframe would go over 24 hours. I don't think she knew what she was talking about because I don't remember the question ever coming up when I was there before. I was just asked whether I did self-park or valet, and that's what I was charged per night's stay.

They don't give the tag to hang on your mirror no more.

They have a automatic gate now , you have to use your room key to get

in and out, which can be frustrating at times. during our stay a few weeks

back, someone drove thru the exit gate, but they had it fixed the same day.

If you leave late on the day you check out just let them know. I can't see

them charging an extra night parking fee for staying a little late.

Thanks! It seems like they had the automated gate when we were there, but I just can't remember. I do think it would be a little misleading to indicate that you can use your room key two full days and then have to pay extra for parking, but the Universal person was very certain on that point. I think they're wrong though.

Hi all

Only two weeks to go

Not sure if I should make any room requests

We just have a standard room booked but I would prefer not to be in the pet friendly tower (which I think is Tower 2?)

We have never stayed at RPR before

Any tips for a good location request?

Also do I call or email?

Thanks all

We did the same as you in July (& in 2005). We did express c/o from the room, took all our belongings & stored with the bellmen and hit the parks until very close to 10 p.m. closing (was trying to catch Bubbalou's for ribs ). We were not charged for that night's parking because we were checked out. I'm sure access is granted until at least the closing of the parks.

No worries.

@horseshowmom - In Sept we stayed one night at RPR and had two cars for three adults. We were in the parks until closing on the second day. We were charged only a one-night parking fee for one car. And yes we told them at check-in we had more than one vehicle. We had unlimited in-and-out privileges.

Thanks! We'll just have the one car so that shouldn't be a problem.

The Universal folks seem to have a hard time keeping up with what's what. Right now, you can get a good price on Priceline for your room (it's even refundable). Priceline assured me that my price covered all 4 of my adults since I selected the room with two beds (and it said it holds up to 5). I called RPH and was told that was correct. I called again the next day (just to verify with the day crew) and was told that I would have to pay the extra $50 for two more adults.

I wound up canceling and booking a AAA rate instead.

Extra adults have always cost $25 each. It is like the Swan and Dolphin at Disney. The price on priceline is the same as the annual pass rate and you would have to pay the extra for each adult there..

Right now, the AAA rate I got through Universal is supposed to be for 4 adults at $225 (I questioned that several times and was assured that was correct). As I mentioned in my other posting, my confirmation came in my name, but it doesn't list the number of people in the room (never seen that before). I'm starting to feel like Alice who fell down the rabbit hole...

I am all confused now. I currently have a reservation for the AAA rate. Would I be better off getting an AP valued rate through priceline (two people). What are the pros and cons of this please and thank you?

Edit: I just went to the Priceline website and I don't really see any great rates there (on the regular page, not the 'name your own price' area). What am I missing here?

It might be $175 with just two adults.
