Hey all!!
Love this thread. the pics of the updated rooms makes me so excited to stay there in August (hoping for an updated room! they're stunning. Requested tower 3 so fingers crossed)

I'm getting conflicting information regarding fridges in the rooms, and im sure it's been covered somewhere in the 14 pages in this thread, but I've read through to page 9 a week or two ago and cant remember if there was solid confirmation.
I know in the past, they weren't included unless you had a medical need or paid $15 per day for one, but in the pics above, it shows an empty mini fridge.
Do we have definitive confirmation that there is a mini fridge in all rooms free of charge now?
We are getting a GG order at Disney and will have things to bring across (beers, water etc) and just want to know what to expect.

Keep up the good work Schumigirl, great thread!!!

it is listed in the sticky that all rooms at rpr have the mini fridge in the room.
it is built into the cabinet.

no charge as it is part of the room amenity.

if you look again at the pictures of the rooms in the rpr sticky, you will see one where the fridge door is open and it shows the size of holding space.
take a look again so you can see if it will accomodate what you are buying

you can always order the $4 styrofoam chest and fill it with ice from the machines to hold items to be kept cool.

ice machines are on every floor in the hotel.

i went that route years ago as i did not want to rent the chest fridges.


schumi is doing an awesome job with her hotel stickies!

 

[pcstang]

Mini fridges are in the rooms. You are good to go!

 

[pcstang]

Thanks Mac.

I mentioned in my post that I saw the pics, but my Dreams Unlimted agent has advised me differently (I asked her last week and she has responded that no, they're not, so just wanted to be 100% sure!)

When you say "order the $4 styrofoam cooler" where do you mean that I'd order that from?
There's one on GG that is $7 and apparently holds 24 cans, which I think I'll still do, but wanted the fridge for milk and dairy products.

 

[pcstang]

The minifridge is most definitely there.

 

[macraven]

didn't know gg went up in price so if you say it is now $7, you would know best.

i do a grocery stop with car service and did get the foam chest at either walgreens, walmart of publix at various years.

i used my chest for water bottles, cheese, extra soda, etc.

the fridge should hold milk and dairy products easily.

i had asked a few that were going to the parks the past two weeks to take photos for the sticky.
(thank you pcstang and tinyD)
so schumi will be putting up the ones from them tomorrow, unless she finished it today.

updating the hotel stickies is an ongoing process.
we are adding and updating it as to be more helpful to all that read it for information.

Dreams is not correct as the fridge is part of the amenties that is included in your hotel room.
I'll send a note to the WM to pass on to dreams for updating their info on the hotels.
my guess is they werent aware when remodeling was done in the hotels that the fridge was now part of the renovations done.

 

[macraven]

The minifridge is most definitely there.

that i do know.
you took the pictures for me...........lol

 

[schumigirl]

Princess Jess.......glad our sticky has been a help to you.......nice to know

Just wanted to add confirmation that all rooms have an empty mini fridge in them now. I took a picture of the open fridge to show what kind of space you would have to store anything you would wish to.

Your Dreams Unlimited agent is absolutely wrong in her information here. Hopefully now they will have been updated

 

[macraven]

so we have two peeps that took pictures.
what a great team we have on this sticky!

 

[VacaPlanner2012]

The great thing about having stickies for the hotels is all info we know is listed in it.

If you did not read the sticky, I will list it here for you.
Usually i tell the readers to look through the sticky as that is the reason they were made.
To provide all infomation that we could find to help others locate things quickly.


ISLANDS FOR BREAKFAST

This is a choice of either an all you can eat selection or you can order separately off the menu. Breakfast hours are Monday - Friday 7am till 11am and Saturday and Sunday are 7am till noon.

https://www.universalorlando.com/Images/Islands_Breakfast_Menu2014_tcm13-15507.pdf
Every Sunday, experience an island twist on the traditional breakfast with your favorite theme park characters at Loews Royal Pacific Resort

Sundays, 7:00am – 12:00pm
Adults – $26.99 (plus tax)
Kids 9 and Under – $14.99 (plus tax)

For what it's worth, I feel like I have memorized the stickies, especially the food sticky, but the info you put out here just didn't seem to answer my question, which was what was the cost of the RPR standard breakfast buffet, not character meal. I was surely not trying to be lazy and bypass all of the helpful information in the stickies. I am usually one who points people in their direction.

On the Universal website and the Loews website, the Kitchen at HRH show a menu for breakfast and a separate menu for breakfast buffet - $21 per person. This information is not provided on any website related to RPR, except for the character breakfast referenced above. This was the basis for my original question, again, not because I can't, or chose no to, read the sticky as you referenced. Interesting now I am fully researching it, HRH is the only of the onsite hotels that has a specific breakfast buffet menu, Portofino does not publish one as well, although I believe I read that Trattoria offers a similar buffet.

That said, it just didn't feel right that RPR would be $6 more per person than HRH for a similar breakfast buffet owned by the same company, so I called Universal Dining and direct to RPR and was told the buffet was $20.99 per person, which seems much more in line. I will be there in six weeks and will take a picture of the buffet menu so we have it for both the food sticky and the RPR sticky. I was under the impression that the character meals in the hotels did not pass thru a surcharge for the character experience, but it seems I am wrong about that, at least the breakfast interaction. It did seem that the dinners with the characters did not require a surcharge, just order off the menu.

I say all this because I have referenced my use of the menus on the food sticky to budget almost to the penny what our food will cost on an extended vacation at Universal. I am a little OCD when it comes to numbers, so maybe I care about this more than is healthy, but I DO REALIZE the hours that are put into providing the information on these forums and I know all want the information as accurate as can be.

if you clicked on the link i included when i posted my reply, you would see the breakfast menu and the cost per item.
the https link when opened will show you what is on the menu and its cost.

most order ala carte for breakfast for island breakfast

character breakfast that i had was held in Jakes

I did click on your link, and I realized it was the same breakfast menu I had already seen many times, when I looked over the food sticky too many times to count. Hence, my simple questions - RPR breakfast buffet - how much? I am particularly fond of the omelette stations in the buffet, but an omelette off the menu costs $13, with OJ, $17. So, if that is $10 dollars cheaper than the $26.99, then I will happily go without some bacon and fruit off of the buffet. But, at $4 cheaper, I will pay the upcharge for the buffet, unlimited drinks (so I can have coffee other than my Keurig), some breakfast meat, and maybe some fruit.

So again, my question was simple and specific - how much for the buffet. You replied directly to that question, in a manner that I though was slightly condescending (well, if you would read the sticky...like I don't), now supporting it with very general information about what most people do.

Don't make it something that it is not. It did not answer my question, so I called directly, and added that information to the thread with an offer to add pictures of menus for the sticky when I get there in June. The additional jabs assuming what I have read or where I have clicked is not necessary, even from a moderator.

Let's stay on point, all of us appreciate everything you, schumi, damo, bluer, etc do for the rest of us. The stickies are wonderful and should be read thoroughly, but they don't always answer every question.

 

[macraven]

me condescending....?

I can not keep track of all the replies i post to help others.
Looks like i was repeating myself with the same spiel each time, without realizing it hit a nerve.
Very sorry, i'll make note to refrain from that with you.


in the past many did not ready any stickies as not much was in them.

We have started over with some of the stickies and they do have current information.
we call it a work in progress as Schumi(hotels, express pass) or I add, correct items in them so they stay current for the readers.

I only started revising them in March, so have posted many times to many people to check them out.
It's not a jab to anyone, really and truly.

it's more of a heads up.

i have posted that if there are errors or updations they can add to contact me or the Schumi to clue us in.
We will add, update, correct.

If you can find the information that you need, please send me a link and I will be thrilled to add it to the new sticky of Quick Access Links.

Since you called UO/RPR for the regular buffet breakfast, i can add that to the sticky later tonight
I know it will help others.

the only thing i have in the sticky for RPR breakfast in the Quick Access Link is
Pricing for breakfast buffets is available by calling 407-503-3200
but will get a price in there for what it presently is costing.
not sure how often prices change due to dates.

 

[schumigirl]

Yes, I would like to add also.......please PM one of us if you see any errors or would like us to add anything we may have missed. As macraven said........it is a work in progress. The stickies, excluding damo's food sticky which has always been kept up to date, had been neglected for a long time and didn't have most of the up to date information included.

We would be GLAD to add links to anything that has been omitted.

We DO tell people to read the stickies as a matter of course. It's not condescending or dismissive. Some folks come to these boards knowing nothing about Universal or the hotels. We usually direct them to the Universal website and to read the stickies.

If the stickies don't answer your questions, and no-one on the boards can, then of course you can call Universal or Loews directly. I'm sure they will have answers that we may not.

Is there pictures of club level lounge ?

 

[macraven]

All the rooms are the same on all floors

Thought schumi posted pictures of the club lounge
If she hasn't, they can be added
