Universal Vacation Booked- kids' suite tips appreciated

[Bourquefam]

Last year's vacation included 5 night's club level at Beach Club, followed by 3 nights club level at Royal Pacific. It was a great vacation, but the hubby enjoyed our time at Royal Pacific most. He liked the slower pace, the time by the pool, and the fact that we could keep an eye on the kids no matter where they were in the pool area (as opposed to BC's awesome, but MASSIVE pool). So with that said, we decided to book a 6 night Universal only trip!

Our 17 year old son who is completely Disney'd out, declared that he wanted to come on this trip so I booked the Jurassic Park Kids' Suite. We may upgrade to club level too, depending on the cost.

Does anyone know which towers and which floors these suites are located in?

Any information or tips about them would be much appreciated!

I'll order 4 day park to park passes from Undercovertourist.com before leaving.

Very excited here in Louisiana!!!

Cheers to all!

i might be wrong but i thought the JP kids suite was in Tower 3.

it has 2 twin beds in one room.
you have to go thru the adult's room to get to the kids room.

the main bedroom is a king bed.

Thanks so much for your reply! We were in tower 3 last year and loved it. It was our first time staying club level and we definitely got spoiled to the convenience---and at the very least broke out even re. the extra cost.

I'm going to call back today to ask how much it would cost to upgrade to club level. The person I spoke to when I made my reservation said he didn't know how to access the amount, but noted on my reservation that I wanted club access. I just don't want to get there and they be sold out of club rooms, especially since our 17 year old is coming. We will more than get our $$$$ out of the additional cost with him along!

I found lots of pictures on oyster.com of the Jurassic Park kid's suite and a floorplan of the room(s) on some other site. The extra space will certainly help us "get along"!!! There's also a fold out sleeper in the main room with the king bed.

I read that a lot of the kids suites (I think there's 8 of them) are located across from the elevators and, thus, are noisy. We aren't "light" sleepers so I think we'll be ok.

If I get any new info., I'll be happy to share it later today. I will also take pics once we're there for the curious! (I'm def a "curious" person and can't wait to stay in one of these suites!)

Thanks again!

at tower 3 at rph, the first room off the elevator on the right side is a king suite. it's the first room on that side.
(that is where i have stayed the last 4 times there.)

across the hall is the storage room for linens and things.
not sure what the second room on the left side is.


i never have been disturbed by the elevators.

what has woken me up are the peeps and kids that love to stand outside my door area and yell, scream, laugh, etc...

if they all stood by the elevator, i wouldn't hear them.
all they have to do is take about 6 steps to that section.


i know there is a suite halfway down the hall from the club lounge.
i just can't remember which suite it is.

i'll try to find out.

I know just the suite you're talking about! If you're headed towards the lounge it's about halfway down on the right. A family checked into that suite while we were on our way to the lounge one day and we were busy checking THEM (the high rollers as we referred to them) out. LOL.

We are splurging this year bc our older son is coming with us and I've been a stay at home Mom for 6 years who just went back to work. It was just too hard for my hubby to say "no" more than the five times I begged him since I am a working girl again!!!

I called the hotel directly today and was told there's a kids suite in each tower. They told me they don't allow people to reserve it club level due to room blocks, etc. but he made another note on my reservation with a request for Tower 2 if Tower 3 is not available. I will be crossing my fingers, eyes, and toes that we are able to get club level bc I know we'll surely get that $100/night out of it and it will be so much more convenient for us if we don't have to pack an ice chest and groceries/ snacks.

Thanks again for replying!!!!

there is an older thread that has pics of the jurassic suite.

i'll try to find it after Glee is over tonight.




i do have my priorities.

Girl, I'll save you time on that too! I already found it and looked at each one over and over and over!!! LOL. Enjoy Glee!
