Where to Book Universal Vacation?

[JuniperJen]

Hello. I have a question.
My husband and I would like to go to Orlando for Spring Break. We want to stay at The Hard Rock Hotel. My question is: where should I book our trip? I have looked at the Universal website, expedia.com, orbitz.com, and cheaptickets.com. Cheaptickets.com didn't have any rooms at the Hard Rock left, so they are out. Orbitz.com was much more expensive than the other sites, so they are out. That leaves me with the Universal website and expedia.com. Is there any benefit with booking directly through the Universal site? The Universal site is offering a deal where you can get a free "Stay & Play Pass" for the duration of your trip if you stay for more than four nights. You also receive a free dinner for two as part of their promotion. I called and asked if I booked through expedia if I would get the same "Stay & Play Pass" offer and the Universal rep didn't think so. The dilemma is: even if I purchase the 2-park tickets on expedia.com, it is a little cheaper than the Universal website.
Should I book my trip through expedia.com or through the Universal website?

Thanks for the suggestions!

You can try hotel kingdom. That's where I booked HRH for our spring break in March. I bought the 5 day passes for $81.95 at www.visituniversal.com.-$8 off with a kraft promotion. Good luck!! Oh BTW I got a great rate of $151.20 the week of 3/20-3/26 they were having a big sale right b/f T-giving. These boards are great !!!

Thanks for the tip! I went to hotelkingdom.com. The rate is now $187 a night, but that is much better than any other site I've found.
