ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT Information

[englishrose47]

yes you can.

Should have asked before where do you call for room location requests ??

Staying club level in Aug. Do I need a grocery stop on the way from airport or is the food in the club sufficient? Has anyone picked up additional food or wished they had?

I booked Club Level on my last stay and had myself (very picky eater), my g/f (vegan), her daughter and husband, and their two year old. I think a trip to the store is completely unnecessary. I was blown away at the offerings they had available. The breakfast options alone blow away any "continental breakfast" other hotels I have been at and also perfect to "grab and go" if you want to take stuff with you to the park. I had to cancel planned meals at the Hard Rock Cafe and Margarittaville because we had too many other options available.

We probably got our money back just in beer/wine at night. Maybe I had my expectations set pretty low from hearing about Disney Club Level experiences on shows like WDW Today, but I was blown away by the RPR's version of it.

with as many rooms as you will need, you need to make that request as far out as you can.
and, call again about 4-5 days out from arrival to make sure your reservation notes are read for accomodating your groups needs.

you would call the hotel directly.
don't call the booking number but the hotel.

i totally understand what you mean.
you are the chaperone and need to be near the group all the time.

when you made the reservations for the room, did you have the tm list your requests about being kept together?
did you tell them that this is a group of special need adults and you needed rooms together and a convenient location?

if so, call the hotel and ask if all of that is in the notes.

if not, have it listed.

I will call the TA for the agency to find out what she requested , as I have nothing to do with booking the resort the tickets or the flights, which seeing as I am not paying is fine with me !! She has always answered any questions and been very helpful . So that had better be my first call. Thanks for your help !!

 

[macraven]

if the TA did not make the requests for room locations and you all be next to each other, you can work with the hotel directly to make it happen.

I am considering booking a CL room. I have a couple of questions.

I'm guessing the CL rooms are in a certain tower? Which one is that? Also, I have seen a review where the person requested a theme park view, who do I put a request in with, the person I make the reservation with?


Another question about the resort- I see that TS food places, but are there any quick service places that have a quick breakfast or lunch instead of buffet?

Thanks!

Club is in Tower 3. You can request a view at time of booking.

Grab breakfast in the lobby(Orchid Court) or at CityWalk or in the park at either bakery as you enter. For lunch at the hotel the Bula Bar poolside is terrific.

Can you make a reservation for the breakfast at the Island Dining Room?

I tried through the Universal site and Open Tables but they would only make the reservation for dinner. Should I call or just wing it when we get there?

Thanks!

When we ate breakfast at the island dining room we never had to make a reservation
So I would just wing it

Two questions on this hotel:

1) The site mentions that a king bed room can only have 2 adults, but 3 if you rent a $25/nt rollaway. At what age do they consider a child an adult? Would they let you have a king bed room with a toddler (and 2 parents) without renting the rollaway?

2) Is there a kid's club here? I read there is one at Hard Rock and that may be the deciding factor for where to stay. I like the idea of being walking distance to city walk here, but if we had to boat over to the kid's club then back, it becomes more trouble than staying further away.

Thanks; good thread.

age 18 and up is considered adult.

check out the website for more info on rph.
it covers most of your questions above.

you can see pics of the kids club and pics of the rooms on the site.

also check out www.oyster.com for more pictures of the hotel.

All three hotels have a kids club.

You aren't required to have a roll-away. You can opt to not have one.

The walk to citywalk is close from HRH and RPR. It actually isn't terrible from PBH either. Stay at the place that appeals to you most.

I'm a little worried now reading about the photo ID cards. We will be at Disney until Wednesday and then renting a car to drive to get to Royal Pacific, give them our luggage, and then go to the parks. But if we can't check in at 7am, will they give us what we need so we can spend the day at the park and check in later?

Also, do they charge for parking our rental car there?

Yes...and yes.
The Kiosks for the Express Pass are just past the check in spot in the lobby...very quick and painless...(until you see how bad your hair looks..well...my hair anyway).
Parking is crazy expensive-($17 per day for self parking)-, but a "necessary" evil..I guess.

you can check in at 6:00 am if you wish.
your room might not be ready, but you can do the checkin stuff, get your room keys and be eligible for the early entry for ioa.

everyone that parks at the onsite hotels pays the $17 + tax charge per night.

charges occur at midnight so you don't pay for the day you check out of the hotel for parking fees.


i have read that the kiosks for the photo id's are at the hotels.
i also read that those kiosks should be at certain parts in or near the parks.

that's based on what others have reported that have recently returned from their vacation stay.

to find out first hand, send an email to guest services at universal and inquire where the photo id's can be made if not at the hotel.

Checking in at RPR in just 6 days! Can't wait!

 

[anorman]

I know we stayed here last year but for the life of me I can't remember.......
Can you charge park purchases and dining to your room when you are staying onsite? We check in at the RPR on the 13th and I am trying to decide how much cash I need to take with me.
