    Hold luggage?

    yes, luggage services will store your stuff. You can check in at the front desk whenever you arrive-get your room keys (to access early entry at the parks if you want or access the pool) and they will text you when your room is ready. Occasionally the room will actually be ready and you can...

    Pool Bar Refills

    I found out by accident that you can use your pool cup at other hotels. We were staying at Royal Pacific and decided to pool hop over to Sapphire Falls-when I ordered a drink I had my room key and the bartender asked if I had a pool cup from there. I said yes, but I didn't bring it with me...

    Poncho or Rain Coat?

    I have a Columbia jacket that the outer shell is a waterproof rain coat. It has been put to the test a few times and has kept me completely dry. It also has some ventilation mesh (under the armpit area) so it doesn't get super hot either.

    Pool Hopping questions

    1 of the Cabana Bay pools has a lazy river that is fun. although if you want inner tubes you either have to buy them there or bring your own (they will inflate for free). inner tubes are not a requirement though and you can just go in without if you want. As for transportation....another...

    Onsite Resorts Rate Comparison Link

    I saved the bookmark with Dec dates so I could use it thru the end of the year LOL since APH rates obviously aren't out for Dec yet it will just show the seasonal rates...but if you put in dates that do offer APH it works great to price shop!

    Onsite Resorts Rate Comparison Link

    try this: you will have to adjust dates for your stay, and perhaps edit the number of adults/children, but it will compare the onsite hotels with APH rates without needing to go to each one seperately...

    Logistics of moving from Royal Pacific to Cabana Bay

    What did you do to get them to transfer your luggage to CB? we were there in Dec, on our last day at RPR we checked luggage in am, went to park, but then had to go back to RPR to get our luggage and take it ourselves to CB. We're going again in a couple weeks to do the same type of split stay...

    Annual Pass Information

    feeling left out....I didn't get an email :( even double checked my email address was right. We're going in Dec so any AP extras for that time would be great

    love the info..we're going in Dec and just might have to pool hop! We've been to CB and HR, and trying RP this time, but the PB sounds awesome to try.

    Universal Split Stay

    when we were there in April we were told the town car option was not available for CB (as it's a value property and that's not one of the perks) However, Sapphire Falls which is right across the street IS available for use of town car so that's the option we went with...just walked our luggage...

    Seasonal Annual Pass/Mardi Gras Question

    totally agree. we got seasonal passes since our Dec vacation did not conflict with any blackout dates. Now it seems there will be Manheim Steemroller concerts at US which may or may not block us out depending on who you talk to at guest services. So not only are they not very forthcoming with...

    Luggage Storage Question

    well I know resort guests can get luggage stored for free at the hotels -we did this on our April trip when our room wasn't ready yet, and again at check out when we had a later flight. They only asked how many pieces and our name, not a room number. so you might be able to pretend you're a...

    First time at Universal- Cheap Food Tips?

    This will really depend on how much you think you'd be drinking pop on any given day. And if you like all the choices from the freestyle or you'd just be picking "regular" pop anyway. There are less freestyle machines around the parks, but you can refill the park mugs just about anywhere. as...

    First timer... HRH or PBH? Opinions needed

    let me toss in something... you didn't mention whether you would have a car available , and if you don't, when you switch hotels you'd most likely have to store your luggage at either 1 or both hotels....at PB if you want to check out and go into park. Then retrieve luggage from PB, to go to...

    what time do the water taxis run??

    may I make a different suggestion? From SF stop at concierge desk and ask for a valet car that will take you/your luggage over to HRH. The valet runs 24 hrs so you're not dependent on times for the water taxi. plus not having to drag your luggage all over is a big plus! we did this back in...

    Express passes - wwyd?

    hmmm....never thought about doing it this way as I didn't want to pay for 2 hotels for the same night, but maybe with the SMSM rate at CB it might be worth it not to have to move everything.

    Express passes - wwyd?

    We did a split stay when we went in April. 1 night at Hard Rock Hotel, and rest at Cabana Bay. This gave us the 2 days worth of express passes for cheaper than it was to buy them separately. gave us the best of both words...EP for couple days, but cheaper on the budget rest of the time...

    Best way to get from Sapphire Falls to the Hard Rock Hotel..

    you should be able to use their valet service to get from Saphire to HRH. they will take you/your luggage. We did this in April (around 6/ 6:30 am) when we did the same type of transfer for the EP benefit. I believe we stopped at the concierge desk to ask about it and they hailed a black town...

    Resort Pools

    We're going Dec 7-13 and figured the hot tubs would be a good order of business....after sitting in one a while you get quite overheated so even if it's chilly outside it's not so bad to get out :p
