I wanted to follow up on this and share our experience. I decided not to make any requests at Cabana Bay and to make a request of close to the boat dock at Portofino Bay. Our room at Cabana Bay was horrible, like as bad as it could get. It was literally the last room on our floor in the...

We have a split stay booked next week between Cabana Bay and Portofino Bay. I did not make any requests when I booked the rooms because I don’t really know what to ask for! There’s not really one thing that will make or break a room for us. That said, I don’t want to end up with the leftover...

We have two nights booked at Cabana Bay before two nights at PBH at the end of April. Because I was looking for AP rates I ended up with a family suite with interior entry. All I wanted was a regular room because it’s just me, DH, and DD10, but the suite was cheaper than a regular room with no...

We have two nights at PBH after two nights at Cabana Bay booked for the end of April. I was planning on RPR but when I called they only had hospitality suites. Now that it’s worked out this way I’m really excited to try PBH. We stayed at RPR during our first and only trip which was the January...

My husband and daughter and I are going at the end of April. I booked with AP rates- two nights at Cabana Bay and two at Portofino Bay. I bought the pay-for-three-days-get-five-days tickets from Undercover Tourist, even though we will probably only spend four days in the park. Last time we...

When is the club level room going to be under renovations?

This is probably dumb but I want to make sure I understand. Even if I have already booked hotels at an AP rate, those rates could still go down? And if they do, then should I just call the Universal hotel line and ask them to decrease my rate as well? Or do you have to actually rebook the...

I was just going to ask the same question. We are doing Universal this year instead of Disney but were hoping to sneak over one evening for dinner at a resort and to check out the Gondola. I was planning to park at AOA and ride to Riviera. That would also give us a chance to peek around the...

Is any of the Jurassic Park stuff open while they are building the roller coaster? I just realized this is happening. We leave in a week or so and of course Jurassic Park was the thing my husband was most excited about! :headache:

I can't believe I'm asking such a specific dumb question but is it better for the pockets to hang longways or sideways? Does it matter? Amazon is asking us to choose.

Where do you buy the pockets ahead of time? Then should we wait until we are there to choose lanyards? I found them on universals website but we leave in ten days. Those might not arrive in time.

We are planning to be in Universal for our first trip for four days starting Sunday, January 19. I have not bought tickets yet although I was planning to buy them online in the next couple days. I've been holding out hoping that there would be a different deal than the current buy 2 parks, get...

My husband is a paramedic and has access to a website called GovX (which I think is for government employees) that appears to be selling the tickets that we need (4 day park to park for 2 adults and 1 child) for $80 less than the price on Undercover Tourist. This seems almost too good to be...

Does anyone know if you can still park at a resort for a few hours, even if you have to pay? The thing is that we are going to be in Orlando for an evening (we're actually checking into Universal the next day to try something different this year!) I had this idea that we could stay at Pop for...

Oh poo, the marathon. I didn't realize that was the same weekend. Isn't it usually the weekend before the holiday? Looks like we may be out of luck then. I'll try the third party sites. Thank you!

I was hoping to book a value room for the Saturday night of Martin Luther King Day weekend, preferably at Pop or a little mermaid room at AoA, but any value would do. The website is telling me they are totally booked. I know it's a holiday weekend but it's for one night, and in January! I...

Okay, same old story. We have taken our seven year old daughter to Disney five times and have become fairly proficient at that but I'm getting put out by some of the changes they've made and more importantly, my daughter has become an absolute freak for Harry Potter. We're planning to do...

Thank you so much for all of this detailed information! It is really helping me to wrap my head around all of this and start to finalize some decisions. My daughter is definitely a thrill seeker and will ride anything she’s allowed on. Especially if something is potter related! I’m starting to...

Common story I suppose but we are a veteran Disney family considering a trip to universal. I’m thinking about offering a trip to my daughter for her seventh birthday this summer instead of having a birthday party because she has recently become a total Harry Potter nut and I desperately hate...

We're going to be there from the 19th to the 26th. We have booked a preferred site and we're bringing our camper. This is our fifth trip to Disney in six years but only our second time to bring our camper to the Fort. We can't wait and are counting down the days! Last year was 100%...
