Universal Hotels Help

[coastergirls]

I am planning on staying at one of the Universal hotels for one night when we visit in October. We have a villa for 2 weeks but thought we could spend one night away for a change. We are a family of 5 with 3 girls age 8,6 and 4. I was leaning towards RPR .
Do you think I should book it now or do you think there could be a deal to be had later in the year. Also wondering how the front of line works when you stay there.
Would we be able to check in early get our room key and do the parks getting fol. Also how does it work on the day we check out I have heard we would still get fol.
Can anyone help . Thanks.

Book now and if a deal comes up you can cancel and re-book. We check in before 8 am so we can use the room keys for FOTL all day.

your room key works as your EP for the FOTL. you can use it the day you check in and the day you check out.

Also wondering if I could use my AA card I thought I saw on other posts people using their AA card as you would use AAA card.
I have also found a site in Uk where I could book RPR cheaper than the advertised rate for October. I have a Loewes first card do you think I could book in Uk then contact RPR at a later time re the perks you get with the card or judt present card when I check in.
If I can use the AA card to get discount it would work out better than booking in UK.
Sorry for all the questions.

I was in AA a couple of times but never got a card. But I didn't do all 12 steps.

You'll have to book the night for early in the week.

October has HHN near the end of the week, and each weekend. The onsites hotels sell out quickly.

Start looking now.

Hi I was thinking about booking it soon because of this. I was wondering if there is anything I can do if the rate comes down. Could I cancel and rebook it . They are not giving any discount for AAA just now as I phoned.

You can either cancel and rebook, or request to have the new rate applied to your current reservation. Either way, make sure they email you with the new information.

Many thanks I will book it now and ask them to apply the new rate if there is one.
