Universal Newbie....Potter package at RPR or book separately.....

[maryanndag]

Hi. Planning our first trip to Universal for Nov. 2013. thinking about staying at RPR. Was going to purchase Harry Potter Package and upgrade to club level. After reading some posts I am having my doubts. I already have my flights. Just need hotel and park passes. Please advise! Thanks!!

buy everything separate.
you can cancel out 6th day from ressie date without penalties on room only booking.

packages require cancellation w/o penalty 45 days out.
$50 fees for package changes/adjustments.
payment due prior on set date.

you can do a walk up for breakfast at the 3 B's.
or walk up for lunch/dinner time period.

Thanks! I priced it out and the package will run about $65 more. I was also considering upgrading to club level but with the breakfast opening at 7:30 it doesn't really leave much time to get to IO for early admission. : (

Yup definitely do it all separately.

We did the HP package for the breakfast....worst vacation decision I ever made. The food was awful and the place was so crowded and a disaster. I am not one of those picky theme park eaters. I have no other bad reviews of any place we ate.

Spare yourself and visit more stuff during breakfast.
