Did you bring your dog??

no suzy, i did not bring my dog

OK This might sound really dumb but if you stay at one of the three universal onsite hotels do you get unlimited free entry to Universal studios theme park?

My family has booked the Royal Pacific Resort for the end of July. For those of you who have already visited this bran-new establishment, what did you think? Does it measure up to the other 2 on-site Universal Hotels?

We just returned from two nights at The Hard Rock Hotel. We went with our 13 yr. old son. All three of us give it a very high rating and would return. The benefit of the express pass to the Universal Parks rides can't be overstated. The hotel is just plain cool and interesting if you have an interest in music. We loved the music poolside. The seafood chowder at the Sunset Grille was the best I've ever had, my son's ribs were excellent. We are 13 yr. FL residents and have done the theme park thing for years. We were not charged for parking, not sure why. Have a rockin' great vacation.
