Is the mystic fountain is closed? Why hasn't it been removed from the app yet?

Oh my! I'll have to take a look over there for @trishs story! Yes, mom is very comfortable on a scooter. She just doesn't have a way to bring hers to Uni. I'll definitely look into scooterbug! Thank you!

UOQOTD: Venturing out... what is your favorite activity to do NOT on UO property, but within a 5-ish mile radius (mall, movies, Texas De Brazil, Orlando Eye, etc.)?

11:36am by browndalmatian

Too many fun things to pick just one for me. There's so much to do up and down I-Drive, Universal Blvd., Sand Lake, etc.

UOQOTD: What is the best place to get pizza on UO property?

11:32am by browndalmatian

I think I'm going to pick Red Oven. For some reason, when I'm eating really clean for a while, Red Oven doesn't bother my stomach and it does taste great. If I have 2 slices of Louie's, for example, I feel cruddy. Maybe it's because RO has less sauce.

11:33am by browndalmatian

Sal's (PBH) was pretty good too. And "that place downstairs" at Aventura has REALLY good pizza too. (Maybe my favorite in terms of taste.)

UOQOTD: What is the best dessert at: 1) UO Hotels, 2) CW, 3) Studios, 4) Islands, 5) EPIC? BONUS: What is best dessert overall at Universal Orlando?:

3:47pm on 6/22/26 by browndalmatian

Granted we do not do a whole lot of desserts but I think toothsome in CW has to rank up there!

10:06pm on 6/22/26 by sneezy93

For 3) I'll shout out the Salted Caramel Blondie ice cream at Florian Fortescu's (as originally recommended to me by @brebeer)

12:33pm on 6/23/26 by Fatty McButterpants

For 1, kitchen sink @ The Kitchen @ HRH. For 2, Bavarian cream stuffed maple doughnut at Voodoo. For 3, Butterbeer cookie sandwich at Sugarplums. For 4, Brooke at Snookers and Snookers. For 5, only had ice cream @ Frosty Moon. Tough to beat a Brookie.

5:09pm on 6/23/26 by clyde4242

@fatty OMG never tried this, now I need to. lol! @clyde I still haven't tried kitchen sink and need to try that too, and the butterbeer cookie!!!

11:23am by browndalmatian

Well, after years of saying we did not like Toothsome we gave it another try last Monday, and, yeah we still don't like it. LOL! Pretty expensive and the pasta was kinda "meh," the salmon was actually just not good. The burger was OKAY but nothing great..

Ditto. Bad wait, bad service, bad food first time. Kids hounded to go back so we went for dessert. Still not best service. Wait ok bc it was empty. Dessert ok but not great. Giant peanut butter chocolate sundae better than "milkshakes" & feeds 3 easily.

10:21pm on 6/23/26 by Buckeye86

Wanted to live it bc themed so well but not what we hoped for

10:21pm on 6/23/26 by Buckeye86

Same here, I want to like it but I miss NBA City. LOL

11:15am by browndalmatian

We usually stay Portofino club level with a TH boy we save money but staying at hard rock was $400 cheaper a night still with club level good decision? Or will we be sad We're not at Portofino

5:44pm on 6/11/26 by snelvis

collapse thread

If your experience is similar to mine in April, you will be sad you are not in Portofino lounge. Breakfast was some scrambled eggs, but other than that- bread, fruit, yogurts, sliced meat. Dinner, I think nuggets?

6:44pm on 6/11/26 by PrincipalTinker

Honestly, it is the only lounge that I never saw TMs, unless they were walking to the back room. I was never crazy about RP food but TMs were always so nice and interacting with guests and Portofino has a variety of food.

6:47pm on 6/11/26 by PrincipalTinker

I have done HRH and RP club. If u tell me about Portofino club, I can tell u how it compares. Had good experience with staff at both. HRH carried coke zero and RP did not. Tv at RPR was home improvement programs and HR is music videos. Bathroom is in

11:01pm on 6/11/26 by Buckeye86

Lounge at RP but is in hall at HRh which is nice for after hours u mess u stay with the loser on our floor who forces a 3 am evacuation trying to smoke in there.

11:02pm on 6/11/26 by Buckeye86

Set off the fire alarm with his cigarettes. I liked breakfast more at RP with egg item and potato item but kids loved the donuts at HRH every morning. Meat cheese and croissants same. HR always had eggs that were boiled. hr also had two fancy coffee maker

11:04pm on 6/11/26 by Buckeye86

s and RPR had one. Lunch was about the same. Dinner was themed differently. All in all RPR was a bit better for dinner options. Rooms at HRH are bigger than RPR.

11:05pm on 6/11/26 by Buckeye86

Also at HR ur room is on the 7th floor with club. At RpR u may or may both be. I heard that was true at Portofino. Is that right? I like having club right there. What is Portofino club like?

11:07pm on 6/11/26 by Buckeye86

Sorry should say u may be or may not be

11:08pm on 6/11/26 by Buckeye86

Portofino club is in the lobby area in actually two rooms with a separate bar area. The breakfast always has bacon or sausage and pancakes or French toast so it sounds like it's a little less on the food. I knew @principal did not have the best time atc

6:55am on 6/12/26 by snelvis

At this point, I think we're gonna keep it and see. We did stay at RP club level once in did not think it was near Portofino level

6:56am on 6/12/26 by snelvis

We agreed that we would do HRH CL again if I got the same deal I had in April (about $150 less a night than Portofino CL) .

3:04pm on 6/12/26 by PrincipalTinker

@principal it is $200 less per night.

11:01pm on 6/12/26 by snelvis

And it was supposed to be teenage boy ! Club saves money

6:59am on 6/13/26 by snelvis

Have not stayed at HRH but PBH and RPR Clubs are both great. I think that's a substantial savings so I would keep it too. However, I will say that we LOVE PBH and it would need to be a great savings for us to want to change too. :)

10:47am on 6/13/26 by browndalmatian

Club level usually saves me a lot of money too! My DS and DIL love to geo to high end dining and being able to get some club food saves me from that. At HRH we did enjoy the Velvet Bar and their Ahi Tuna Nachos later in the night. The live music was nice.

12:04pm on 6/13/26 by PrincipalTinker

Agreed, if you use the lounge properly then Club Levels can save you a lot of money, especially if you have a few people in your party. I know the food is great at US/IoA/CW and the hotels too, and I would want to enjoy all there is to have there, but...

8:56am on 6/19/26 by browndalmatian

...but you could literally eat every meal in the Club Lounge "for free" during your stay, and honestly the food there is GREAT! Plus they have coffee/drinks all day too!

8:57am on 6/19/26 by browndalmatian

What is a 'TH boy'?

5:34pm on 6/21/26 by Fatty McButterpants

Was supposed to be TA teenage

10:25pm on 6/21/26 by snelvis

A teenage travel agent boy? Like Doogie Howser? Neat!

7:41am on 6/22/26 by Fatty McButterpants

So curious how much money you can save at Club level? It always appears to be like $150 more a night on average when I check. It just seems like you have to plan your day around club hours. I don't like to be that locked in set times. Just my opinion.

5:21pm on 6/23/26 by clyde4242

My DS and DIL can easily spend $200 at dinner. Add 2-3 coffees a day, waters, breakfast for me, I save a couple of hundred dollars a day. I will book CL when it is closer to $100 more. In April at HRH it was $80.

8:00pm on 6/23/26 by PrincipalTinker

I wouldn't do it on a first trip bc to get most out of it u need to go back to eat. But for later visits when u are more laid back and have seen so much already, it's awesome.

10:23pm on 6/23/26 by Buckeye86

@clyde depends on how many people in your party. I have 5 in mine, including 2 growing, sports-playing boys (haha), so it's well over $150/day savings at times.

11:14am by browndalmatian

Tell me about surfside inn and dockside inn family suites.

9:55am on 6/24/26 by thundercakes

They are nice with 3 beds. 1 of which has a locking door. They have a wooden bench for a kitchen table a microwave and sink. The shower and toilet behind the same door and the sink and vanity in the open.

12:34pm on 6/24/26 by clyde4242

Are the beds comfortable? Are the rooms loud with noise for other rooms and halls?

4:27pm on 6/24/26 by thundercakes

Beds were fine for me, I don't notice much noise at Surfside, but we had a long day at the parks and crashed pretty quickly

7:32am by clyde4242

We love the family suite at both. Privacy for mom and dad, access to kitchen for kids, microwave, sink and they provide plates and plastic silverware. We always stay in them and we typically can get a great deal with AP.

11:13am by ladyortramp

Is it possible to do half day at IOA starting at 2pm if I'm only doing 4? rides ( velocicoaster,Hagrid's, HP, hulk,) without express pass ( I only have the attraction assistance pass)? Hoping we can leave for Disney by 6pm .

7:55am on 6/23/26 by gingerbeer

I'm sorry bumping for people who know. I've not used that pass but seems unlikely as it's only 4 hours and Harrods wait is usually 1-2 hours by itself

9:50am on 6/23/26 by snelvis

Maybe if u do single rider? That line varies tho.

10:26pm on 6/23/26 by Buckeye86

Hard to say. What day of the year/week? I have never used that pass either so I am not sure. Sorry! I'm going to guess that it could be possible but it depends on the crowds of course.

11:13am by browndalmatian

Has anyone else noticed there is at least 3 different narrators on Kong? How long has it been that way? I didn't notice it in March but did notice last week.

12:32pm on 6/24/26 by clyde4242

We noticed a few years ago. Maybe it has always been different narrators? That's part of the fun for us - see who we get when it starts. There are also different narrations for Suess Trolley.
