Should I stay at RPH?

Is it possible to reserve Rph for the 2nd and 3rd and use the fotl for the 3rd and 4th? Or should I just buy express passes when I get there?

Need more details. What month are you going?

FOTL works the entire day you check in, thru the entire day you check out.

If visiting Disney, it's best to go there first, because you'll be spoiled with no waiting once you move to USF and use FOTL.

Best plan is to check out of the Disney hotel early, and drive up at 7am. They'll let you have your magic keys, and your room may be ready. If not, you visit a park.

We'd be going in June. I might be able to change the days around but if I can't is there another way? We'd be leaving that Fri night to get there and then we'd have the whole Sat-Sun at the parks but we check in at OKW on Sunday.

Are you flying or driving, and when do you expect to arrive Friday?

You could check into a cheap offsite hotel Friday night, then check into the RPR Saturday morning at 7am, and the FOTL would work for Saturday and Sunday. This way, you would only need 1 night at the RPR and you would save some money. The only thing with doing this, is it wouldn't "feel" like you stayed if you only have 1 night.

If you could arrive Thursday night (cheap hotel), and stay in the RPR for Friday and Saturday night, it would "feel" like a longer visit.

We are driving btw. I just changed around all my reservations so that I can check in at OKW on the 2nd and check out on the 9th. Then I plan to check in early at RPH on the 9th and then check out on the 11th. I plan to renew my AAA to get a discount on the room. Do you know how much of a discount I could get for Seaworld?

Good for switching the days around. You'll enjoy FOTL to end the trip.
It's best to check the AAA web site for discounts on park tickets.
You usually go pick them up at your regional office. That's how it works down here in South Florida. Go on the www.aaa.com website, and find the nearest location to you. The discount is usually about $5. Not a ton of money, you save more by packing the cooler and eating breakfast (doughnuts and milk) in the hotel room.
Here's where you will find the www.publix.com just north of IOA.
