    We will be staying here for a conference, but we also wanted to fit in some time at the Disney parks as well as doing Universal. Do you have any tips or suggestions for doing both sites at this hotel? We’re worried about how we will get to Disney from this hotel.

      Hillary, the simple way is via cabs. You can get cabs from Portofino Bay, and the Disney parks have cabstands for when you are done. Next best is renting a car…

    Thank you so much Dave. I am really grateful for your advise. As per your suggestion, we will go to Royal Pacific and save the money for a nice dinner out. I have to tell you that I have been following your site for a few years now and I always use it to plan out my WDW trips. You have never steered me in the wrong directions. So I wonèt start now;)

      Great Alex! Take a look at both while you are there, and let me know when you are back if you agree with my call, or would have preferred Portofino…

    I decided after reading all your great suggestions to stay a few nights onsite on my visit to Universal. This is our 10th anniversary trip and it will be just my husband and I. My questions is would you suggest Royal Pacific or Portofino Bay for an adult only trip. We save $180 if we choose RP but I am debating if it worth the price difference to stay at Portofinos. Thanks

      Alex, that’s a tough call. Portofino Bay is unquestionably lovelier, but I actually think the grounds of Royal Pacific are a little more romantic. If it were me and my lovely wife, I’d stay at RP and spend the money we saved on fine dining…
