Party: 2 adults (one 40+, and the other 50+)- former UO annual pass holders, were regular attenders from 2001-2006/7 - Did one quick visit to UO when Forbidden Journey opened. On this last visit, the Diagon Alley section was not complete, Transformers was not complete, and the train was not complete This last visit also did not have Kong, or Jimmy Fallon. For reference, we visited Universal Hollywood last year.
We had been at RPR before but it was a long time ago . Had not done Club level before at RPR. Our previous club visit was Portofino Bay at least 6 years ago.
8/27- Ariived in Florida the 24th, picked up a rental car from MCO and drove to Sarasota area to see my family. The plans were to return the rental car to the Hertz desk at Hard Rock.
Drove from Sarasota to a quick visit to Disney Springs (all has changed!) and it started pouring- we were soaked in the short walk from Uniqlo to the garage.
Drove to a quick Walmart visit on Turkey Lake Rd, and then to Universal. Started pouring again, and the valets offered to return our rental car to Hertz lot for us. Sure thing!
Off to check in, and then we went to the 7th floor with our club key. No express card anymore, room key will suffice for express. (This was the case during one of our onsite visits years ago and one other visit we needed the separate express card) Room wasn't specifically ready, but we could go to club lounge
Got to the club level as dinner time/drinks began. It was quite nice. The pulled pork sandwiches weren't that great, but the Coronas were flowing. Deshawn offered to get our room keys (we had temporary key to get us upstairs since our room wasn't ready) - in about 5 minutes he came back with our keys to our quiet room 3737. (corner king room) . Room is down the hall but not a terrible distance to club level. My fitbit gave it a 200 step walk.
In all excellent club visit: did breakfast everyday- fruit and hardboiled eggs were fine for me every morning, stopped by lunch time a few times (two times there were uncrustable PBJ sandwiches as well as chips, fish crackers and yogurt pretzels)
Dinner time was busy, Asian night was especially crowded with no seats when I went- took food back to room. Sometimes made it to sweets hour- cookies were not great, (lack of flavor) but the min flans and boba mousse with coconut was good. Excellent service all around.
Beverages included: sodas, coke products, sparkling water Voss brand, Corona, Bud products, red wine, white wine and white zinfandel
Pool area: in hot tubs everyday of visit. Two hot tubs, both on either side of two cabanas. One is a small one and a larger one. Many rowdy unsupervised children in the hot tub (it's 104 degrees- very sensitive to young skin) It was not relaxing, but fortunately kids realized it isn't a pool - you can't do laps or handstands in it and left within 5 minutes or so. There were some very well behaved kids with family in hot tubs, but quite a few that were not behaving well.
Distance to parks: Excellent walk to parks- easy beautiful and fun. Only used the boats three times (after 28,000 steps one day and after 30,000 steps the other) We usually walked to IOA, and then took the Hogwarts train to Universal
