I know people all like different things-thats ok, I want opinions!
I havent stepped foot on Uni property in 30 years! Planning a first trip for family of 5 (kids are 12, 10, 8). I am intending to buy an AP for myself. 2+2 tickets for everyone else (most likely slipping VB)
Ok. So. I'm looking at weekdays in the Fall (flexible dates-no weekends or holidays). I'm considering a split stay- 1 or 2 nights at an EP resort and then 1 or 2 at something cheaper but on site.
Trying to be relatively economical. For the EP nights I think we will do RP, bc it is cheapest. From what I see it isnt my favorite looking resort ever, and the kids will be a little bummed there is no slide at the pool, but they'll survive! It also looks like the standard rooms are just that-standard-so no extra room for family sleeping. Correct me if I'm wrong! Honestly the EP is what attracts me here-if not for that I think there are other resorts I would like better. What do you love about RP?
For the other night or 2 I was considering moving somewhere were we could still stay on property but for less $$. We will have 2 more days of tickets with no EP. Places I've considered:
dockside/surfside- the layout of the family suites looks great for a family of 5, and so cheap for the space! Downside is the pool.
Cabana Bay-exterior exit family suites look good as far as sleeping space. Theming doesnt do a ton for me, but if the big pool is open it looks very cool.
Thoughts? Other considerations?
