We like to give credit when we learn these new seasonal perks
Can you post the link for the chart for those (me lol) who can’t find that chart?The smsm rate is available depending on the dates, for either 3 or 4 night bookings
Rates are cheaper at the 7 night bookings
That is what I use and for the season I go, it is at the 35% discount
You can see the chart for each smsm season on the uo website
June is a popular month so don’t know if seasonal rate or smsm is best
My long yearly visit is end of September thru Columbus Day in October and use smsm
Play with the numbers until you know which discount code suits you better
If you do a 4 night stay, it will be relaxing and no rushing
You could do split days at the parks, a day at Vbay and time at City Walk for early dinners
It would not be a rushed vacation having 4 full days for UO
Thanks!I can’t using the phone but will later from my iMac
They do have the regular room service menu, but for HHN they have added these special treats.....
When we arrived late, I booked a room across from Universal. We’ve stayed at The Doubletree (large rooms) and Fairfield Inn (small rooms but cheaper,). Both were very close to Universal. The hotel called us a Towncar service to move us. It was an SUV. You could also call Mears and request a taxi van (no additional cost) or Uber. It was very easy.
Or book Cabana Bay family suite that night and call Uber or preferred transportation to move you and luggage early the next morning. Either is pretty easy.
Sorry I don’t know about 5 fitting in an RPR room as the 2 queens only sleep 4. The room size is a tad smaller than WL or AKL and a touch larger than POFQ. Maybe someone with more experience at RPR will know if a cot can be ordered.
You would need to talk to RPR about the room bookings........
I do know folks who have done similar haven’t been successful in keeping the same room.......but can’t help to ask.......
You can just add the two adults at check in........
5 can stay in the room, but yes there is a charge for the extra adults per night. Someone posted a picture of the cot bed down the side of one of the beds, it does fit but won’t leave a whole lot of room. And there is a charge for the cot too.
You could avoid that charge by requesting blankets and pillows from Star Services.......and make a pallet on the floor if the child is small enough.......lots of folks do that.
I think I’ve answered what you are asking......sorry if I’ve been a bit jumbled.......
I called today and found out that they won't transfer luggage between Cabana Bay and Royal Pacific. So if we do that, we'll have to move our own luggage. I'm not sure how much of a hassle that would be. It doesn't look to be far between the hotels, does anybody know if there's a sidewalk or path that perhaps we could just walk over from Cabana Bay to Royal Pacific?
Or I think I found the solution to keeping our room at Royal Pacific. I called and the person said I could book 1 room for my family for 4 nights and book my in-laws for 3 nights. Then at check in, we can add the in-laws to our room for the one night and only have to pay the extra adult fees for the one night.
That seems like the simplest solution and would save us $187 each. This way we'd be able to keep the same room and we'd at least have a room if we wanted to take a break. One thing that concerns me about switching resort is being "homeless" for a day because you never know when the room at the second resort will be ready.
But staying at Cabana Bay could save us up to $302, so we could save an extra $115 by switching resorts. I'm not sure hassling with moving our luggage and stuff is worth it or not. I really wish they provided luggage transfer like another place does. It would make my decision so much easier.
Actually, they don't if you book room only. Only packages get the online payment feature.I booked our rooms for Royal Pacific. I have to admit that I'm disappointed on how difficult it will be to make payments. I thought I'd make a couple of smaller payments so that when we check in we wouldn't have such a big amount to owe. I'm not supposed to compare Disney and Universal (I'll get in trouble by my daughter and husband), but Disney sure makes it easier to book things and make payments online. The Universal site leaves a lot to be desired.
