Yes, it is. You can of course add more if you feel like it.

 

[DISNEY FIX]

Thanks. Is this customary at the other eateries?

No. We were just at RP, and no service charge for either Jake’s or Islands. I looked at their online menus, and they also show an 18% gratuity but only for party size of 6 or more.

RP is our preferred hotel when visiting UO. Unlimited Express is awesome. We almost always use the boat to get to Citywalk/the parks.

We had Jake’s for lunch on our arrival day, which was good. We shared an order of wings, loaded fries, and the lobster mac-n-cheese. All were good. My wife had the Mai Tai, and I did a flight of beers.

We did Islands Dining for breakfast several times, including the Bottomless Mimosas. Yum! On our last breakfast, the server said that he could use any juice with the sparkling wine instead of orange juice. Never saw that before, and probably not standard.

We did not do dinner at Islands Dining, eat at Orchid Court Lounge, or get items from Tuk Tuk on our last trip, but we have on previous trips and have been satisfied with them.

Always good to read your views on the restaurants.

Agree they are so good at RP, we’ve never once been disappointed in food in any of the options at RP.

And we‘ve never indulged in bottomless mimosas.......must change that! Although I’d probably be asleep for lunchtime if I did........

Thanks! Yea, when we do the Bottomless Mimosas, we won’t get to the park until noon usually. And forget about rope drop. The last time we did that was when Hagrid’s opened a couple years ago. Now, I consider it lucky when we get there by 10AM.

FYI they could store our refrigerated items at luggage services. We didn’t have a ton but they were able to do it

The "Big Kahuna' breakfast seems to have vanished from the Islands Restaurant online menu at Royal Pacific. Did anyone who has been there recently have it or see it on the menu? Thought we treat ourselves to one big breakfast during our stay.

It was there two weeks ago. Didn’t have it but it was on their printed menu. I posted a picture of the menu on May 16 (a couple pages back).

I paid for one of our 4 nights when booking - question is, do they automatically run the same card for the balance before check- in early that morning like Disney does (on a room only) or do you pay it off when you check in yourself? I don’t remember which card I used and want to use a particular card at check-in and would rather not call if not necessary.

You'll pay the balance when you check in in person. They'll ask you if you want to use the card on file from the deposit OR a different card - your choice .

I think they do that at all the pool bars at Universal resorts - the staff have always pointed it out when they bring the check so you dont double tip - but yes you can always leave extra.

hi. We have a standard two queen room. Wondering which tower is closest to main food court and if there is any specific thing I can say to be as close as possible to it. Is there a room finder for this resort like touring plans has for disney?
thanks

 

[monica9]

When looking at Google maps, looks like there is a walking path that leads from one of the towers to the Mexican restaurant at city walk. Amy I looking correctly? If so, which tower is that one?

Not sure about a ‘main food court’ area as most eateries are somewhat spread out. The quick serve/grab and go/coffee shop is right off the lobby by the front desk and centrally located to all towers more or less. Jake’s is closest to T1 and Orchids is closest to T3 but all are easily accessible from any tower (we always request T2 for the walk ability *). The Bula Bar was easy to get to from T3 and T1, but really just as easy from T2. Sorry we never ate at Islands so I can’t remember where exactly it is. IMO for closest access to everything ask for close to the elevator. That’s what we did and also a high floor. We had excellent views of the hulk and RRR and walked through the lobby and yo the path in seconds

I believe that is T1 but all towers go to the entrance to City Walk next to Margaritaville. As stated above, we preferred T2 to access the path through the lobby. I think the door off the end of the hallway of T1 is a quick exit but May lock (at some point?) so you still have to enter through the lobby to return.
In any case from the layout we like the views from T2 that I’m not sure you can get in T1 but I could be totally off on that. FWIW we were in 2708 (T2, 7th floor, 8th room) and the luggage guy said the even number rooms had great views in T2

T 3 is my favorite building
