Universal semi-newbie here!

[Harmony]

Family and I have visited Universal...once, back in 2005. We loved it but haven't had a chance to visit until now!

I called the 1-800 number for quotes on vacation packages and they've gone up a bit since '05.

Any idea where I can get great deals on either HRH or Royal Pacific rooms and tickets with FOTL passes? Thanks!

If you get a room at RPR or the HRH your room key is your FOTL pass cause that is one of the perks of staying onsite and I would look at the lowes website for room prices and universalorlando.com for your tickets .
Hope this helps

The lowest rate I found was through AAA- but I called RPR/Loews directly, got their "best" rate, and then asked for the AAA rate, which was $30 less (we are only staying one night). If you are staying a few days, you might get a better deal. Try Southwest Airlines Vacations )if you live near a SW airport).

I ended up getting an AP and it saved us about $40 a night on the room at the RPH plus we were upgraded to a water view room and since we are staying 4 nights that pretty much paid for the extra cost by itself. I looked at the packages and was not too impressed, most of them were more expensive then doing it yourself plus you have a better cancellation policy if you don't do the packages from the vacation group I feel.

If you want to compare the AP rates you can put in the code APH when checking prices so you can determine the best deal for you.

Hope you have a great time!

Thanks everyone! I'm definitely taking everyone's advice and then deciding the best course of action. I'm getting that *excited* feeling now!

 

[macraven]

you'll find your best rates for rph.
do as the others stated and call and talk to a tm.

they will give you the best rate that is available.


depending on the dates you are going, you will find fantastic deals, especially for now and thru the summer.


i know you'll have a great time at the darkside!!

Okay, couple of questions...what does the darkside mean and what's a tm?

BTW...I'm still so excited! The only bad thing is now I have to wait till August! LOL!

You guys are too funny! I love it!



And....I think I'm leaning toward purchasing an AP.

Quick question, if I'm the only one in our party to purchase an AP, do I still get the discounts (this is what I'm assuming but I want to be sure) or does everyone in the party have to have an AP?

Only one AP is required to get any discounts.

 

[tlinus]

Like Metro said,only one AP is required.

Do you have AAA? That qualifies for in park and eatery discounts as well if you and your party should split up!

Have a great time and remember, we like reports.....and pictures. Lots and lots of pictures

OK, here's a question (not to highjack), I want to start planning our 2010 trip when can I start calling about vacation packages, we're going in Nov?

We found a package deal on the website under "deals" - included hotel room and tickets. While the resorts at universal are quite a bit more than we would usually pay - the front of the line pass easily justifies the cost!! Unlike the passes you can purchase (at about $40 / person / day) at universal ..... they are good for unlimited times on the same ride. When you get off spiderman and MIB .... you will want to get right back on!!!
