Universal Planning Video

[kilee]

A couple years ago I was able to order a free Universal planning video. I lost in the move to our house last year. Well in October we are taking a one day side trip to Universal (along w/ bringing 5 newbies). I'd like to know if anyone knows where I can order another video. I couldn't find anything on the website, not even a "contact us" link. TIA.

and was told that they don't offer it anymore, but they do have a vacation planning kit. There is no video in it though. Just brochures, maps, etc. Call 1-800-Be a star for ordering it.

Thank you for the information.

Kilee,

I'm not sure if this is much help, but when we stayed a Orange Lake Resort in March 2003, they had Universal planning videos all over the place. In the rooms (2) and at the main registration / reception building. It has Orange Lake's name and resort phone numbers on it, but the video is similiar to the one you had ordered. There may be some other resorts that have the same.

while at universal studios park in july when we visited we shopped and saw a Universal studios vidio my son wanted to buy it but is was a promo when you spent 35.00 at that shop in the park so we did and got the vidio free.

I just got one from my AAA office last week. It is from 2000 and I could only borrow it since it was their only copy so you might want to check your local office.

mjd, We will be staying at Orange Lake Country Club in April 2004 for the first time. How did you like it? How far from the parks is it? Could you share you experience, good or bad?
Thanks,
Julie

We enjoyed it alot. We spent more time there then at the parks as I was 7 months along at the time. If you like to play golf , you love this place. The golf courses run throughout the resort. it hase several pools. The main building where you check in has a HUGE olympic style pool,great for laps, small wading pool with a mushroom spray for little people, small six foot deep pool and another float pool. Mini golf course, suffle board, jungle gym area and my favorite place was the beach on the lake with lounge chairs and volley ball. You can't swim in the lake, but they do rent jet skis, boats, paddle boats. Kids have a great time in the sand. They sell popcorn in a pail with a handle and shovel. In the building is a resturant with a buffet , a store that sells everything , reasonable prices, indoor play area, free movie theater, video arcade, and rooms, not sure for size.

They give you a newspaper style info book at check in with all of the activiies, like poolside bingo and maps and local info like hospitals, churches, ETC.

We stayed in a 2 bedroom that was down the road a ways. It was a bulding with 2 levels, no elevators, with six units. W/D, patio, open with table and chairs. there are some places that were single store "homes" and buildings with several levels up front. It is a gated place with a guard.

If you don't have a car, you may have to walk, a lot. Lot's of people had bikes, boards, scooters, roller skates. Would go back again.

Very close to disney, animal kingdom, about 15 miles to US.

mjd, thank you so much for your response (I sent you a private e-mail also, feel free to disregard). How was the condition of your 2 bedroom unit? Wow, 15 miles to US! Oh well, I guess it can't be close to everything. We're doing Disney 4 days and US/IOA two, so I guess it all works out well.
Thanks again,
Julie
