With all the recent changes to Universal hotels, we thought we should have a new updated thread for all sorts of information, questions or queries about the hotel.

ONE QUESTION OFTEN ASKED.......DO WE GET UNLIMITED EXPRESS PASS HERE....

The answer is yes you do. It is valid from when you check in until park closing on your check out day.

Although check in is officially 4pm, you can check in as early as 6am. Your room may not be ready but if it isn't you can leave any bags you have securely with Bell Services located adjacent to check in.

When you check in you will be given room keys matching the amount of guests registered to the room on your reservation. This as of 2017 is your EP. You simply have your room key scanned as you enter the EP line either at the beginnng or further into the line depending on the ride.

The EP queue is a separate to queue to the regular one and waits are usually much less than normal queue. You will need to show this to TM on entering the queue.

You will need your room key if you are planning to take advantage of Early Entry offered to onsite resort guests. EE is one hour before regular guests are allowed in.


**EP is a perk of staying at one of the qualifying hotels. Where you buy your park tickets has nothing to do with this and doesn't affect EP in any way**







WILL CALL FOR ATTRACTION TICKETS


Will Call is adjacent to check in desk area. A few steps away from check in, you will be able to pick up pre ordered tickets or purchase regular park tickets.




There is also a Concierge desk here and car hire help.

RPR is literally less than 10 minutes walk from the parks. The path is beautifully kept and is a very pleasant walk.

You can of course take the boat. The boat dock is located nearest T3 and boats are regular and T1 is nearest to the walking path. The boats start 1 hour before EE and run till 2.30am.
Last boat leaves City Walk at 2:00 am. Very nice little ride too. The boat captains will usually regale you with tales and also give you information about parks closing time too.

Boats won't run if there is lightning within a 5 mile radius.

You will have your bag searched entering boat or on the path if you walk.

Thank you........:)

Will just update posts already there to add new information.......still have info to put in I'm sure........
 
i just noticed you updated already in the two posts.
good girl!

the pictures of the renovated rooms look great.
so nice you added pictures.

maybe some other posters will add their room pictures of the hotel also in this thread.
 


Thanks mac.........yes would love some updated room pictures on here so everyone can see what they look like now........
 
Hi,
this is so great! I have a couple of questions....

We booked Club room. Is there a microwave in the lounge we can use, or do we have to rent one? (my son does Atkins and needs to microwave sausage, meat, etc...). Do they have fridges in the queen club rooms, or do we need to rent one?

Can you give me an idea of food in the club lounge? Do they have yogurt, fruit? I assume no eggs or meat with breakfast.

Are there any rooms with sofa beds I can request (trying to save the $25 bed rental)? We have 3 children. My 2 girls can stay in one queen with me, and my husband and son can stay in the other if not. They are young.

I am a newbie, thanks to all in advance for any help!!!!

fyi... we usually stay club level at the Poly, but my kids are dying to go to Harry Potter world.
 
All the rooms have a mini fridge

No sofas in standard room

Have star service provide you with linens blankets pillows so you can make a pallet on the floor instead of renting a rollaway

Thanks! Is the mini fridge a mini-bar fridge, or one we can use for groceries? I don't want to displace the stuff and get charged. Do you also know if the concierge lounge has a microwave? Sorry for the ridiculous questions!
 
Hi Donna.........not ridiculous questions at all.........:)

No microwave in Club Lounge, but you can hire one for your room if you need it.

The mini fridge in room now isn't the mini bar type anymore, there's a picture of it in the first post above. Not huge but it's big enough for a few bits.

Breakfast includes assorted meats and boiled eggs too. Cereals, yoghurts, toast.....there are toasters for use in lounge, mini muffins and pastries, bagels, assorted fruits like melon, pineapple and strawberries, cinnamon bun, oatmeal and of course juices, milk, teas and coffee.

Lunch isn't a big choice, pre packed pbj sandwiches, goldfish and fruit like apples and bananas.

Appetisers are served 4.30-6.30 there is always one hot choice of dish which varies every day.......one night it was like a Chinese style chicken and noodles, pasta dishes one with chicken and another night it was meat free version, cottage pie, Mac and cheese and various other dishes.

There's always a salad with dressing choices, crudités, chips and dips or prawn crackers with chilli sauce, assorted cheese selection with various crackers and some nights there's a fruit plate too.

Wine and beers are complimentary during this time only. Small selection of spirits available for $5 charge.......

Waters, sodas, teas and coffee are available all day Club Lounge is open too. They're happy to give you some to take with you when you head off for the day.

The Club Lounge is lovely. There is a little kids area to the side with a seperate tv showing age appropriate to shows and films and a few toys and such to amuse them. There are another two to screens for adults.

The staff have always been wonderful and will help you if you have any issues at all.

As mac says you can bring a blow up mattress and star services will bring you bedding for it, no extra charge for this.......

Anything else........ask away..........:wave2:

WOW!!! So KIND of you to spend time and type all this!!! That is GREAT!!! Just confirming... There IS lunch meat at breakfast? That would be great for his Atkins!!! I know not the best quality of meat, but it will get him though!

There are 5 of us (my oldest will be 12). Are we all allowed to get the express passes and get in the lounge (or is it limited to 4).

Also, If I pre-buy my tickets, can I get the express pass when we check in? I am so excited!!! THANK YOU SO SO MUCH for all this info!!!
 
No problem Donna.......glad to help......:thumbsup2

The meats at breakfast were turkey, ham.....the kind you would put in sandwiches I suppose and a couple of continental style meats. Very nice actually!!

Everyone that is registered to your room can use the Club Lounge......

Your tickets have nothing to do with getting EP........that's one of the best perks for staying in one of three hotels that EP. Doesn't matter where where you bought your tickets as they're not connected. It's the hotel stay that gives you it.

As soon as you check in you will be given 5 room keys, you can take them over the EP machine and have your pictures taken....then you're good to go!

Even if your room is not ready you'll still be given keys to get the EP. You can check any luggage into bell services if it's not ready so you can immediately head to the parks..........

You need a room key to operate the elevator to floor 7 where the Club Lounge.......your specific keys will be programmed with this access.

It's a beautiful hotel, I'm sure you're all going to love it ::yes::
 
schumigirl,
Thank you so much! I have not been to Universal since 1999!!! We go to Disney twice a year too!!! I appreciate your patience and kindness in answering my questions!

I assume the keys are the "ving" credit card ones. no bands like Disney? My kids love lanyards, so that would work well!!

You are most welcome Donna........it can be quite daunting going somewhere for the first time.......you just want it to be right.

Yes the room keys and EP will fit in lanyards........roughly cc size. No bands.........

Lanyards are ideal as you can keep them on for all rides......if you do go on wilder rides just tuck them into your shirts so they don't fly off........:thumbsup2
 
Hi All!

Total newbie here (first post:cheer2:). I'm staying at the Royal Pacific June 13-16. We have a standard 2 queen room and are planning on bringing an air mattress for the 14 year old - thanks for the recommendation here! We are also driving down so we'll have our car.

We're hitting Magic Kingdom on the 14th but will spend the other 2 days at Universal and IOA. I wish we could spend more time but I'm going with a friend and her kids who are from out of country and it's just not in the budget to stay longer (don't feel too sad for us, we're going to the beach for a few days afterwards).

So given the limited time at the theme parks, is there a specific room request I should make? Which tower should we stay in to be as close to the action as we can (we're hoping to get early starts to the day) - I'm guessing walking to parks will be quicker than the water taxi if we're trying to get there early, so maybe the Windward tower? But any advice is greatly appreciated!

Also hoping to start a PTR here... with 1 day in WDW and 2 at Universal, where's the best place to post? Thanks again :flower3:
 
:welcome: Tortilla24.............

T3 is nearest to the boat dock. T1 is closest to the walking path.

But it's literally minutes time difference between them. It's quite a compact resort and everything is never too far away from anything.

Takes between 5 and 10 minutes to walk depending on your pace to IOA. Few moments more to Studios. Boats can be quicker if there's one there and you're going to Studios. But negligible really. We tend to walk most days, it's a beautiful walk.

There is a trip report board over here too :)

Thank you! One other question: are all the rooms updated in T1 and/or T3 or is that something I should specifically request?
 
You're welcome......

All rooms bar a few in T3 are done now. By June they will all be completed..........you can still put in a request for a specific tower anytime.........as always, it is just a request but wouldn't do any harm.
