    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Yuletide Joy

    I had no idea this was an option and had I known, I absolutely would have taken advantage of this for next year. I was under the impression once the ticket was purchased that was it. Cannot be moved to a different night because the nights sell out.

    "Official" 2023 Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party - Yuletide Joy

    We went Sunday 12/10, what a bleepshow that was. Absolute torrential downpours both coming into the park and at the park for the 2 hours leading up into the party. Stood in line for 2 hours for customer service as it was lightning outside and the solution was park hoppers for another day if we...

    Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

    Looks like they’re holding off putting out HRH and PBH APH rates for late November and December for some reason. All other resorts have APH rates for my dates.

    AP renewal??

    I just checked mine and the date has not been changed. It is set to expire on June 2nd. Even if they add 3 months, I’ve lost my April trip and lord knows I have zero interest in going to Florida during Jun-August.

    AP question if trip canceled

    While I’m happy they are extending the AP the number of days the parks are closed, it doesn’t really help me. I only travel to the parks from October-early May due to the intolerable heat during the summer months. I had planned to go to the parks in a month with my AP expiring on June 2nd. Even...

    Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

    It honestly doesn’t matter. You can do all the ticket stuff right at the hotel so whether you buy what you need from the onset or upgrade at the hotel/park doesn’t matter because you have to go to the desk to get your physical tickets anyways. If it were me, I would just buy what I want from the...

    Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

    Not a chance - they require you to show them your AP prior to check-out, not check in.

    Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

    That’s sort of like comparing apples and potatoes. Pb club level is the best club level offered, where you get a deluxe room at PBH which is 490 sq ft. You get access to breakfast with hot options, afternoon snacks and evening options that include a hot meal and crudités, beer and wine in...

    I definitely saw them doing movies at the pool when I was there, but I can’t remember which trip. I would contact PBH to see when they do these.

    Universal during December?

    They have tons of offerings during the holiday season. We used to go during HHN but decided to go early December a couple years ago and it is our must trip of the year now. Between the decorations, low crowd levels (as long as you go after thanksgiving and before the week before Christmas)...

    Official APH Rate Info for Universal Loews Hotel Properties

    The last two times I’ve stayed, I’ve asked if they need to see my ap and they said no. Either they consider me a frequency flyer or there’s something in the system that tells them for me? Or they’re just really trusting...

    I can’t say that we would have noticed the refurbishment had we not stayed there previously. We definitely stayed in a refurbed room, but nothing felt significantly updated, so I’m not sure how well this refurbishment is going to wear. Seems many people are in the “underwhelmed” camp.

    What would you choose for a long stay?

    5 people in a RPR standard room sounds like a really tight fit. I am biased toward PBH, it is the only premium hotel I’ve stayed at, but the extra space would be very nice for the family.

    Another vote for Tony Hinds - great service and reasonable price.

    Where to eat at Universal Orlando including menus...UPDATED REGULARLY

    My wife and I tried here the first night of our trip, it was fantastic. My pork chop was perfectly cooked, and her beer glazed scallops were as delicious a dish as I’ve ever had. Our meal was so good, we went back again for our last dinner of the trip. Again, food was outstanding. Not sure where...

    Spider-Man Single Rider Line

    It seems to rarely be open anymore. Very frustrating when you see plenty of empty spots on the ride after waiting in the regular queue when you could have happily done single rider. I don’t get why they’ve essentially stopped using it.

    Where to eat at Universal Orlando including menus...UPDATED REGULARLY

    Breakfast is tough as others have said. Cinnabon, Starbucks and voodoo donuts in city walk. If you have the time and want a good full breakfast, you can take the boats to any of the on site hotels and have a buffet breakfast at one of their restaurants. We’ve had the buffet at The Kitchen (HRH)...

    PORTOFINO BAY HOTEL INFO...FAQ`s and more.......

    I’m thinking the same thing. Why would there be construction sounds if they aren’t starting until 2020 Q1? I don’t want to move resorts but I am not about being on vacation and hearing that commotion.
