Yes, we usually get the best AP rate at Royal Pacific, we head there to "check in" before park open the first day to get our room keys which gives you express in the parks. They'll give you your room keys before the room is ready, I always ask them to give us the least desirable/latest...

I agree with PP re: putting Universal at the end of the trip, we usually do 5 nights at Disney followed by 2 nights onsite at Universal. If we get a good enough AP rate we'll do 2 connecting deluxe rooms, but usually we do connecting rooms or suites at Cabana Bay with one throwaway night at a...

We got tickets through Chase UR portal for Thanksgiving 2018. My memory is a bit fuzzy on the details, but I'm pretty sure they were vouchers that we redeemed at the kiosks for regular tickets. We always upgrade to AP's and went back June 2019, so I don't think we had a problem upgrading...

Pop century for us. We love Cabana Bay at Universal, which is retro but in a bright, fun, upbeat way. Pop felt dark and dingy by comparison. We went after the renovation, so we liked the rooms okay, but the food court, the lobby and all the painted concrete near the rooms were so blah. I...

We're thinking about booking one studio on points and one studio with cash next year, but would like them to be the same category to increase our chances of being fairly close together. I've read that boardwalk view and standard view rooms can only be booked with points, but that "garden view...

I was FINALLY able to get AP rate for CBBR for April 7-11! I was so discouraged that later dates were opening up and was worried that our week had been skipped over but today it finally worked. It pays to keep trying!

Can these 'buy 2 get 2' tickets be upgraded to an AP? It looks like the Undercover tourist version is E-ticket only, does that make a difference with upgrades?

I tried to buy a return flight at the Frontier ticketing counter at MCO last month and they wouldn't let me do it. I had a credit to use and was having trouble getting it to work online. The clerk told me "it's cheaper to buy it online" and when I explained that I needed help with a credit she...

We had a charge from Sal's on our kids' CBBR room at checkout. Seemed really fishy to me too, how was something charged to the room if charging wasn't even authorized? They took it off without arguing but they seem to have a real problem somewhere...

Thank you both, good to know!

We used ur points to book a throwaway room for express our last trip, so much less painful than paying cash!

We're thinking of getting a Delta Amex for the skymiles bonus. Is booking using skymiles similar to using Southwest points where you can cancel without penalty or rebook if a lower fare comes out? TIA.

Looking for some advice on what credit card to get for Delta rewards. We are flying my husband's parents from their podunk airport to MCO. It looks like the best airline for them would be Delta (Skywest Delta connection to DTW and Delta nonstop from DTW to MCO) we always fly SWA on points...

Space is really limited at Universal and the resorts are compact so you can't really walk the grounds the way you do at Disney. The walking paths to Citywalk/the parks as suggested are really nice, the landscaping is beautifully maintained and on par with a Disney moderate or deluxe. you might...

I've wanted to find a great transportation service since we started going to Universal and my DH prefers not to deal with driving on vacation. We've tried a couple of different towncar companies and have never really been happy. One driver was kind of skeevy, 2 were what I'd consider...

Answering my own question... I brought 12 oz to go cups from home just in case and they're exactly the same size as the ones in the room. So at POFQ anyway, the cups are 12 ounces (and work perfectly as oatmeal cups!)

Thanks, everyone, I was good to go and ended up getting an email instead of a text while we were on ME. I did stop in the lobby (POFQ) b/c there was no line and they reaffirmed that we were all set. Thanks again

not sure if we need to stop at the desk to have dining plan activated or can we go straight to room/ food court if they've given us our room number (no text, just in mde)? Tia

We're staying at POFQ next week and picking up a rental car at the Dolphin. I had planned to bus it to DHS and take the Friendship boat to Dolphin (8:30 am). If the Swan Dolphin bridge is still being worked on what are the best options? Is walking feasible or would we have to go all the way...

Can you elaborate on this? Spiders, roaches, "love bugs"? (My imagination is running wild...!!)
