I just got back to the real world on Wednesday. I stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel. This hotel is great if you like Rock and Roll! The help was good. I did get some mis-information. The parks do not open until 9am! Thank you for letting me know about the Lowes membership. I secured my membership before I booked. When I got to the hotel after mentioning my membership. They were kind enough to give me a super upgrade from a garden view room to a deluxe pool view room. I also received my free bottle of wine. What a nice perk. The only downer about the hotel was out of the two nights I stayed at the hotel the pool was closed BOTH nights due to an "accident," so they had to close the pool and shock it until morning.
I can't say enough wonderful things about the Front of the Line rights that you get with staying at the hotel. I was able to zip right through every line without a problem. On Monday the crowds were extremely light. I think the longest wait time I saw in the park was 30 minutes for Spidey. I did many of the IOA numerous times. It was great!
On Tuesday, I went to US. Again the FOTL ruled! I was able to see amost every show and went on every ride! I was able to do MIB a couple of times. The only reason why I didn't get to see everyone was the times. I missed the makeup show.
The whole experience was great!
I would highly recommend staying at the HRH.
Take care!
