Hello!
I am about to book my family's first trip to Universal! YAY! My original plan was to book Royal Pacific for one night so we could get the Express Pass and then book Cabana Bay for three nights. We were back and forth as to where we wanted to stay when, and after talking with my TA, she suggested that we book Cabana Bay for four nights (she mentioned something about a better discount due to a longer stay) and then book Royal Pacific as a throw away room. We'd check in but actually not stay there. What is everyone's thoughts on this? I've never heard of such a thing. Good idea or no?
As I mentioned, this is our first trip so we know nothing about any of the resorts, but we have watched videos and I think Cabana Bay looks nice but my DH thinks it looks old. Now I'm starting to worry about staying there. We are coming from Disney where we'll be staying at the Yacht Club. For those of you that have stayed at Cabana Bay, will we be disappointed staying here?
Lastly, we are purchasing three-day, park-to-park tickets. Can we go to Volcano Bay and another Universal park on the same day?
Thanks for any help!
