I just booked a Universal weekend for Nov 9th & 10th. Total price for 2 nights with 2 day's admission for 2 adults, 1 junior, 1 child at the Portofino came to $490. I've stayed there before, and it's a lovely hotel....at about the luxury level of deluxe Disney hotels. (marble floors, 4 poster feather beds, fairly spacious) They are continuing to mention "front of line" privileges for resort guests. Also, there is a lower price for the Hard Rock hotel, but no weekend rooms were available.
