| having a slight issue re: onsite hotels We would love to add a couple days at the end of our August Disney trip to head over to Universal & IOA...I was looking into staying on site at Universal and it is telling me that the onsite hotels can't accomodate us in one room (we are a family of 6 - DH, me, DS11, DS7, DS3 and DD2)....any suggestions? I would really like to stay on-site since we'll only have a couple days and want to squeeze in as much as possible. Thanks!!  Last edited by katrina30; 10-27-2009 at 10:59 PM.. |

| Have you looked into the cabins at Ft. Wilderness? Pretty sure you can fit 6, and the price is very reasonable. They are really really nice, not roughing it at all.

| They do have suites. Not sure re cost. Staying on site entitles you to unlimited "front of the line" pass - which is GREAT. Loews Portofino Bay Luxury Suites |

| Each of the three onsite Universal hotels have suites that can accomodate your family. Of course, you can always book two rooms and ask for them to connect via interior door. I took a travel agent Fam tour of the hotels in June and saw the Kids Suites at Royal Pacific...just adorible!!! The kids room had a Jurassic Park theme...best theming I'd ever seen. Universal really does it up right w/ their onsite hotels!

Maximum Occupancy Per Guest Room Kids Suite - up to 5 guests* (rollaway rental needed for 5th person) 1 Bedroom Portofino Suite - up to 5 guests* (bedding for 5th person would require a rollaway rental or use of the sleeper sofa) 1 Bedroom Villa Suite - up to 5 guests* (bedding for 5th person would require a rollaway rental or use of the sleeper sofa) 1 Bedroom Hospitality Suite - up to 5 or 7 guests, depending on booked connecting room I don't really want to do a huge room like the hospitality suite since we're only trying to Universal as an add-on at the end for 3 days.... | |

| I would probably call the hotel directly to see if they have the same policy as WDW resorts when you have a two year old in the party. I'm not 100% sure on this...it's been a while since I've run into this situation. Leaving off your youngest DD isn't the best option. If you're having trouble w/ their onsite hotels, why not try an offsite partner hotel nearby? We stayed at the Hyatt Place across the street from the entrance to Universal's property and it was a great location and had huge rooms. Good luck!

| I'm surprised the suites sleep only 5. We stayed one night (Oct 12) at the Royal Pacific and there were 5 of us. We had the boys squeeze into one bed so as not to pay for the roll away (boy were they happy  ). They let us no problem. We got room keys for all 5 of us. I would call and ask if they allow 6 in a suite, with the 6th guest being a 2 year old. We found the staff friendly and helpful.Beth

| Good luck. I don't know what your best option would be, a suite or 2 connecting rooms price wise. We stayed 1 night at Hard Rock to get 2 days of their Front of the Line Pass, then moved across the street to the Doubletree. We've stayed at a Hyatt Place in I drive, and they are suites, with 2 beds in bedroom and a double pull out in living room. And they have a nice continental breakfast too. The one by Universal would be the same. But I don't know if they have a shuttle if you don't have a car.
