We are trying to decide between the following three events:

Leows Portofino Bay Hotel New Year's Buffet Extravaganza: ($46.00) At Trattoria del Porto. Complimentary champagne toast included with New Year's Eve Buffet, kids activities, Universal Orlando Character Dining, clowns, face painters, balloonists, and more.

Hard Rock Hotel New Year's Eve Party Package ($70.00) Package includes: Dinner Buffet in the Kitchen, Universal characters, the Magic Man balloon artist, live DJ entertainment, balloon drop, champagne toast, and more.

Leows Royal Pacific Resort New Year's Eve Party ($65.00) includes live music and all you can eat buffet plus two complimentary drink tickets.

We are a childless couple in our upper twenties. We haven't been to any of these hotels or their restaurants.

Does the hotel have guest laundry rooms? Are they busy? How much does it cost to do a load? 2. How are the in-room amenities (soap, shampoo, etc)? What is there? How is the quality?

Well, my DBiL's sister is there right now, and $20 and four kid's t-shirts were stolen out of her room! They were immediately upgraded to a concierge room and given a large credit, and I am sure that the hotel management has figured out who did it and that person is gone, but still - wow! ]]> Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure jhoshowski http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/universal-studios-florida-islands-adventure/207968-omg.html http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/universal-studios-florida-islands-adventure/207719-dueling-dragons-closure-question.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:24:55 GMT Does anybody know when the exact date for the dueling dragons closure will be...at the min i think its set for Sept 2010...we arrive at disney on the 5th September and its the bfs first trip...hes gutted at the thought of not bein able to go on this ride...i really hope we can catch it early in the holiday!

How about eating recommendations for dinner between the park and the concert? Any transportation tips, Universal tips and concert tips are welcomed!!
