I just checked the Loews site and the price and 4th night free, which I have booked for the middle of August shows up, but no free kids meals. Is this something that only E-Mail receivers can get? Maybe the site has not caught up I'll either try later or call. Thanks for the heads up. Looks like Disney is making Universal compete, love it!

**Kids eat free at lunch and dinner applies Trattoria del Porto, Splendido Pizzeria, The Kitchen, BeachClub, and Bula Bar & Grille, and Islands Dining Room. One free kids meal per paying adult. Kids eat free applies to children 12 and under and kids menu only.

The first weekend in October would be nice for HHN, but I bet they're already sold out. I'll give it a try and see what comes up at the RPR.

 

[Motherfletcher]

They aren't sold out yet.

I think this is the same promotion being talked about on another post....Check your August dates!

 

[Motherfletcher]

They've added the kids eat free bonus.

Motherfletcher,

Do you know if the 4th night free applies to suites too?

 

[Motherfletcher]

It should if the suite comes up as available on the website.

I booked this APH special 3 night get 1 free special for September last week for the HRH. Will we still get the kids eat free with this or do I need to rebook? We thought about trying the Kitchen one night with our son.

Thank you for the heads up on the rate changes for APH at Universal. We saved about $400 and we are staying an additional night for free! We will be at the HRH from 8/5-8/15

Not sold out yet, still gotta book my hotel.

I have called about this deal and talked to many people at many different phone numbers and they have no clue as to what I'm talking about. I hve reservations at HRH 8/11-13 already and wanted to know if I qualified for the kids eat free.

When I called about the 4th night free no one knew anything about it either. They put me on hol, talked to supervisors and finally pulled up the Loews web page and found it. I'm wondering if it is a AP perk and you will only have to show your room key and AP to get the free meals. Have you called the AP number listed on the AP's? We are also booked and want to know what's up before we get there.

How come I never receive emails from Universal? We bought the 2 yr. for 1 preferred AP last spring, used them last July, and again this July. I've only ever rec'vd one snail-mailed notice about hhn---a month after it happened. I've filled out the online request to be added to the list, filled out a questionaire in person last year at US when we got our pictures taken. Did I miss doing some detail? Thanks In this case, the "kids eat free" wouldn't apply to us, but some of the other stuff I've read on these boards would.

Guess I should cancel my August 7-11 Stay 4 Play free deal at $234 a night totaling $1043.64 with tax. It looks like I should book the room only at RPR and buy an 1 Annual Pass and get the discount and buy 1 2 day 2 park bonus pass for my husband. I figured it out like this $129 nightly x 3 nights (4th night free) + tax = $431.51 for the hotel room. APH $179.95 + 2 day 2 park bonus ticket $99.95 x 6.5% for tax(not sure if thats the correct tax %)= $298.10 for a total of $729.61. Saving $314.03. Does this sound right? I would also have to have the tickets I would buy sent to me or pick up at will call. Where is will call? I would need my AP to check in so where would I get my AP? Or should I just have them sent to me. If I ordered them now it says they would be in by July 25th and I leave on the August 7th. Any suggestions or anything I missed. Please let me know. I've never been to Universal, so unfamiliar with most of it. Thank you in advance for any info. Shelley

When I checked the Loew's site it has 129/night with an asterix that says additional rate changes apply during your stay which usually means an extra 20/night on weekends. The site says 4th night free with annual pass so I think your numbers are pretty close and worth a call to Loew's. I think you have plenty of time to have them mailed. Good $300 catch! And the kids eat free and your AP gets all kinds of discounts on food and merchandise.

My APH reservation for 8/28 to 9/1 (Sunday to Wednesday) also said rate change during stay. Turns out the rate change was $129 for days 1 & 2, $128.90 for day three and $.10 (yes ten cents) for day 4.

The savings paid for the APH, I also bought three power passes for $99 using the Florida Fantasy 5 coupon.

Have not seen prices this low in a while.

I also had a rate change, $129 for first 3 nights then $158.90 for the 2 week-end nights. What I thought was neat was the 4th night was the higher but that is the free night. Some places whould have given the cheaper rate as the free one. Out of 4 trips this is the cheapest I have had.

 

[shelleyz]

Rate Breakdown: 129.00 United States Dollars per night Starting Sunday, August 7, 2005 For 2 Nights
128.90 United States Dollars per night Starting Tuesday, August 9, 2005 For 1 Night
0.10 United States Dollars per night Starting Wednesday, August 10, 2005 For 1 Night

So should I just book online then cancel my first ressie or call to see what to do. I have to buy the tickets (AP & 2 day 2 park bonus pass)online anyways right? Thanks so much. Glad I saw this thread.
