And on another note, Universal's hotels are very reasonably priced compared to the Disney deluxe hotels- I have stayed at the Royal Pacific for $99 a night, and it is comparable quality wise to Disney's Polynesian. The Universal hotels just give guests way more for their money with generous...

I had no idea that I would be attacked simply for stating MY opinion about the front of the line system at UO. I guess I will just keep my "privileged, class system" self off of these boards from now on. thanks

Just a quick note in Universal's defense. I think it's AWESOME that they offer front of the line access to hotel guests. When you are paying that much for a hotel room you deserve some perks- I truly believe that Disney should offer this perk for guests of their high-end deluxe hotels (Grand...

Alexandra, I am the same way!! I have been to WDW more times than I can count, but I have never been on TOT because I am deathly afraid of that falling sensation. Like you, I can tolerate Splash Mountain, but I don't like the fall!!! I really, really want to try TOT and also Dr. Doom at IOA...

I feel that JTTCOTE should definitely be at Animal Kingdom for 2 main reasons: 1. The other parks already have plenty of great attractions, especially MK. 2. Adding really great Disney ride experiences, like Everest and possibly JTTCOTE would go a long way in helping Animal Kingdom...

Hey guys! I just booked a deluxe room at the Hard Rock Hotel for Oct. for HHN, and I am wondering what the difference is between the deluxe room and the standard room? I know that the deluxe room at Portofino Bay is much larger and has a seperate soaking tub and glass shower, so in my opinion...

You are going to love Royal Pacific- it is such a beautiful hotel and way less expensive than the Disney deluxe hotels. You can pool hop- You can either take the ferry or walk to the other resorts. Even if you don't pool hop I would recommend touring the other 2 hotels. All 3 are so nice and...

"this redneck girl in front of us...... (let me paint the picture and please do not get offended if you have any of these qualities, it was a combo of all: shabby hair, tons of earrings, a felix the cat tatoo on her back-neck with paw prints that went down her back, around her torso and into...

I think this is great news for those of us on a low-carb diet. :sohappy: However, they just do need to warn people that some sugar-free candies do cause loose stools ( I have learned my lesson about this more than once,,,,I guess some people just never learn :lol: )

I remember eating at Odyssey a few times. It was awkward because you had to walk so far out of your way to get in and out of the restaurant. I agree with an earlier post - it would be a perfect place for a new attraction!! :sohappy:

My backpack once leaped off the boat in the Mexican pavilion at EPCOT (Undoubtedly due to the extremely high speed of this ride :hammer: ) and I nearly took a swim in El Rio Del Tiempo, but I retrieved it myself. Good times,,,,Good times. :lol:

My first trip to WDW was in 1979 when my family first moved to Florida shortly after my 4th birthday. I don't remember where we stayed, but I seem to remember that you had to use tickets to ride the attactions at that time- does anyone know when they stopped using the tickets? I went to WDW...

Ohh, this is fun- I couldn't limit each park to one ride, so here are my favorites: MK - #1-Big Thunder Mountain, #2-Haunted Mansion, #3-Peter Pan's Flight (Come on people, am I the only one?) EPCOT - #1-Horizons (RIP), #2-Maelstrom, #3-Test Track Studios - #1-Muppet Vision 3D, #2-...

I'm going to chime in here and say that I also did not Port Orleans Riverside at all,,,,,I thought it was so big - hard to find my room, and the room was small and tacky. Not worth the money at all, however I did love POFQ when I stayed there.

MKCP, I am dying to stay at the Hard Rock! Having visited the lobby and pool area a few times I can't wait to stay there. My DH and I are hoping to book a room there for HHN in October. Are the rooms nice?

"But we never stay there because it seems like it is for an older crowd." That is a great point. RPR is definitely the most kid friendly of the 3 resorts. If you ever stay onsite at UO again, something fun to do in the evenings is to take the water taxi to the other resorts and check them...

John, You should try Portofino- it is beautiful. The Deluxe rooms at Portofino have a huge marble bathroom with a soaking tub and separate glass shower- we love it! It is so relaxing, and the beds and down bedding are sooo cozy! My DH and I also love RPR, but it is way more casual, with much...

Shari, Dinosaur is my favorite WDW ride, but I would not take a 4 year old on it. It is completely dark and you have no idea what's coming and dinosaurs leap out at you. IMO, It is too realistic for a small child. For example, I went on Jaws at Universal with my 4 year old nephew and he was...

RPR stands for Royal Pacific Resort, Universal's version of the Polynesian. Universal also has two other hotels, Portofino Bay and the Hard Rock Hotel. All 3 hotels are Loew's hotels and are truly luxurious. Another benefit to staying at a Universal Hotel is you get express access on all...

RPR is a great resort and I have heard mixed reviews of the Poly- I am so curious!
