RPR - 4/4 -4/6/07 -- resigned to pay rack rate - $319/nt std. view.

I'm so used to codes from Disney -- even for just small discount! -- that I can't stand this But am still hoping for discounts/codes/secret sauce.

 

[KEW80]

Just booked HRH June 26 thu June 30 Stay and Play 4 nights total with tax
$1300. Maybe we'll find better rate as June approaches but for now...

WE'RE GOING TO UNIVERSAL! Cabana #9 booked for everyday! WHOO HOO!

 

[ATAfamily]

HRH tentively planned for:
4/22 - 4/27
Standard Room/View: $239/night (super saver rate)
APH rate is still at $269/night so eagerly waiting for it to drop lower

This will be our first time staying at HRH. The past two times we have stayed at RPR. Both times we popped into the HRH to use the pool so this time we are planning on giving the HRH a try.

Please clarify for the newbie. . . I am assuming that the silver/gold/platinum discounts are for a loews credit card holders????

What's up with all the upgrading??? How's it done?? I've only done this in Vegas and I don't think this will be anything remotely close.

Also, like anywhere else, there are preferable towers, levels, etc. How does one find out about prefereable rooms once you decide on a hotel.

Finally, what's the deal with the cabanas. Aren't they just open, poolside shelters or am I way, way off?

It isn't a Loews credit card, but just a Loews First benefits card. After a certain number of stays you start getting perks such as upgrades. There is a sticky at the top of this board that will tell you all about it!

After I posted those questions, I did a little research and found out about LowesFirst and even signed up!

damo is right. Just check this out: http://www.loews-first.com/Loewsfirst.asp. We are platinum, so we pay the AAA discounted rate for a standard room and are comped a suite at the time of reservation.

Each hotel has a room assignment thread on this board. Just do a search on "room assignment" and then pick the hotel you want to stay at.

I've never rented a cabana, but you'd probably have better luck making that a separate thread.

EDIT: I was posted right after you did. Glad you got the info. Have fun choosing a hotel!

Just booked HRH June 26 thu June 30

Altho not staying at HRH (staying at RPR), maybe we'll "cya's" there??? We'll be there the same time! How ironic would it be to meet up in FLORIDA when we only live about an hour apart...

Excuse my ignorance - I'm new. . . but what is the APH rate?

APH stands for Annual Pass Holder. BTW, no excuse needed.
