ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT INFO...FAQ and more......

They give free water while you’re at the pool? That’s good to know. And I love when hotels offer drink service poolside. It is an added bit of luxury.

They give free water and there’s a container full of ice cold water filled with fruits where you can help yourself.

They also give out sun screen too.

The food and drinks service from the Bula Bar is fabulous.

Yes they do.

Thank you!!

Do you know if they are still having the movies at the pool? Christmas of 2017 they weren't but 3 trips there before that they were.

They did in February anyway.

They were discontinued for a time back then due to copyright issues and permissions.

But they were allowed to begin showing them again after a few months.

So, yes, all the hotels are showing the dive in movies again.

I will be checking in at Royal Pacific pretty early, like 6:00am, while the rest of my family sleeps in at another resort. Can I get the room keys for the rest of my family, or do they have to be there to get a picture taken to link their photo to the room key for the Express Passes? I am seeing conflicting information on different sites, maybe some outdated information elsewhere???

 

[schumigirl]

You no longer have a picture taken for EP. They use facial recognition in the EP lines.....not all rides though, but many of them now do it.

You’ll get room keys for everyone registered in the room.....you can collect for everyone at 6am.

The photographs for EP was changed back to regular room keys in 2017.

 

[blondie511]

This is probably a dumb question, but when you checkout, do you turn back in the room key cards, or do you keep them? I have been at hotels that have been both ways. (I was thinking about marking them each with a Sharpie, so we can tell whose is whose. But if I have to turn them back in, then obviously I will not do that!)

 

[schumigirl]

The room keys have everyone’s name on them...so you won’t need to mark them.

But, you don’t have to turn them in. We keep all our keys.

 

[Lynne G]

Yep, my room key stays in my lanyard until it's replaced with another one. Once you check out, which you can from your TV if you want, you may want your room key after checkout, as it serves as your express pass until the close of the parks. I almost always try for a late night flight home, that way, I check out of the hotel in the morning, put my bags with the porter, and go to the parks for a last day of fun in the express lines.

 

[C&Jx2]

You can checkout via text too. I did that while we waited for my husband to pull around and load our luggage, so we kept all of our keys.

Final review is that we loved RPR so much that we’re returning next year instead of Disney.

We are excited. We’re also inviting my little brother to come with us (fully paid trip) for his college graduation. He deserves it!

Soooo I will have many more questions!

First off... I know the rollaways for the fifth person aren’t guaranteed, so I’m thinking we’ll pack a twin size air mattress just in case. Has anyone ever NOT received a rollaway?

Also I’ll take any and all tips to keep a hotel room organized!

And one more, when are the renovations going to be completed?

Even better!! He certainly will be ready for a trip.......

Haven’t heard of anyone not getting a rollaway, but I guess it’s possible if the hotel is full, which it is a lot of the time. Lots do bring an air mattress to save money, so you could be alright.

No idea about organised rooms.......lol......we are the tidiest of folks!!

The lobby renovations are scheduled for a November finish, but of course anything can be extended with delays and such........

So exciting!
One tip - start looking at room prices for next year as soon as you can. We booked our room 11 months in advance and got a club level room for the price my sister paid for a regular room 5 months in advance.
The early bird......

I just saved $130 on my August stay at RPR. I initially had a 3 night SMSM (Stay More Save More) with an additional night added in for a 4 night stay. I just checked and the 4 night SMSM rate is available now for my dates, saving a little over $30 per night. My stay is for August 15 to the 19. I’m still watching for a cheaper AP rate.
