Universal overnight stay advice needed
Hi
We are staying onsite at Disney in August but are planning 2 / 3 days at universal. I’ve read on here about staying overnight at universal and using tesco clubcard vouchers, so I looked into it as this might reduce the need to only have 2 days at universal. Have I got this right that if we book an overnight stay at Loews Royal Pacific resort we would get the unlimited express pass for all guests for the 2 days that we would be there? In terms of logistics what time would you leave disney in the morning? Presumably you can leave your bags in the universal hotel and then check into room later and likewise leave bags there on the second day and pick them up when you are ready to return to Disney? The other question is it says that your room key acts as your pass, if you do get there at say 8am would the room key be ready? Is this worth doing do you think? Many thanks Edited at 11:52 PM. |

Hi there,
I am no expert but we’ve done this a couple of times so hopefully i can offer a little advice. Yes you get express passes for the day that you check in and the day you check out so for a one night stay - 2 days passes. You can check in very early in the morning and leave your luggage with bell services - they will text or email you when your room is ready. I think we have checked in around 8am previously so we are there just about for park opening. Its a great hotel we love it there!

Hi. As above you get express passes for everyone staying in the room(s) for check in and check out day. So 2 days worth for one nights stay.
You can check in as early as you like and you’ll be issued with express passes and notified when your room is ready (by text or pop back to the resort later if that’s not possible). We checked in at 6:30 for a 7am early opening on our first visit. We took an overnight bag and this was left with bell services. We left our bags with bell services until we left. We took an Uber/taxi as we weren’t driving, but I think it also worked out cheaper than paying for parking even if we did hire a car. It’s absolutely worth doing and we always do this every trip. Hope that helps. Edited at 02:06 AM. |

I know you said you're booked but, just as some added fodder, I would now never consider doing Universal without staying at RPR - it's *that* good!
