    Side note ( because obviously everyone is raving RIGHTFULLY about how cool you two are!) it's actually pretty inspiring how this whole channel is Disney themed, but really is about honoring our own inner child, yet being a fully functioning adult 🤣 also as a couple, you two are a pretty shining example of partners providing each other a safe space to explore and celebrate that genuine, playful, childlike part of themselves.

    Alan being so thoughtful about how he worded that he did not like the food option bc he was thinking of the person who made it 🥰 he truly is a southern gentleman. I had no idea you could use the text option for reservations that is extremely helpful information!! I would love to see a room stay at Pop Century it’s my go to Disney Resort so very interested to find out any tips or tricks that I have missed out on

      Wish I’d known about restaurant reservations through the text service when we were there last month. But I definitely used that texting service for a lot of other requests. An absolute perk!

    Molly is the big sister I always wanted; I love her personality and her advice is always so good! Also, I too set 20 alarms to wake up in the morning, and I’m a Hufflepuff (since Molly is a Slytherin and there is a thing where Slytherins are besties with Hufflepuffs).

    Hi Molly and Alan, I said hello to you and thanks while you were filming this video at the entrance of the Royal Pacific. I stayed there with my family for 2 nights. I totally agree with you that the main reason for staying there is the Express Pass. I also did the math before booking and if you are set on getting the express passes, as I was, then when you add the park tickets and express passes for 2 days it comes out as more expensive than the 2 nights in the hotel for a family of 3. So it's as if you are basically getting the hotel for free by staying at the Royal Pacific. Regarding the food options we really wanted to try the Islands Dining Room but it was closed for the times we were there, late lunch before the parks on the first day and late dinner after the parks, glad to know you didn't think it was so good. WE ate at Jake's twice which I found to be good I had a really good buffalo chicken club sandwich. After staying in the Royal Pacific for the express pass perk we moved for one night to the Endless Summer Dockside, which is much cheaper, as the next day we went the Volcano Bay and the express pass doesn't work there.

    I love that Molly says whatever comes to her mind in that moment. She’s free flowing with the information no matter how abstract it is. It’s great that she has no filter.😂 Keep it coming Molly. 🤣 Same with Alan with frog Butt! Such humor video. Every time they put out a video I have to rewatch it a few times so I can catch everything they’re saying. 😊 Alan and Molly should lady and tramp that pretzel.😊 Thank you Alan and Molly & Mammoth club.

      We actually rented a room for the two days we were at the park in late 2019, DESPITE THE FACT WE WERE STAYING AT A VACATION HOME AND LEFT THE ROOM EMPTY THAT NIGHT…because the room was $559 for one night but THE TWO DAYS OF EXPRESS PASSES FOR FOUR PEOPLE WAS WORTH $1556!!…. Renting a room WE DIDNT NEED made the cost of the Express passes less that $70 a person for each day!

    Such a fun video. Royal Pacific is my mine and my wife's favorite hotel.

My wife & I definitely sit across from, not next to, each other when we eat so I'm with you on that lol.

  • @MoleyB-89
    @MoleyB-89 Год назад +2

    What a treat to get to see this resort again over twenty years after our first stay there. At that time, we paid slightly more per night than what a Disney moderate would have cost us. The express pass perk was a feature even then. We asked for a room close to the lobby and were surprisingly upgraded to a King Suite, I think for 20 more per night, a super bargain. Our meal was at the on site Emeril's Tchoup Chop(closed in 2017). Although it had so-so reviews in that first year, we had a memorable meal there and a luxurious stay overall. Please include Portofino Bay as a staycation someday. We enjoyed that resort so much, too, and I would love to see what all you two have to discover there.

    Just stayed here this past tue-thurs and got the room for $235 a night! 🤯 but that was with the Florida resident pricing. I thought the resort was super nice and everyone was so friendly. My husband absolutely loved the water taxis.
    We got super lucky and the parks weren’t crowded at all. Early admission got us on and off Hagrid’s motorbike ride by like 8:30 am!
    It was sooooo nice to just go back to our room in the afternoon to rest or take a nap and then head back out for the rest of the day. Can’t wait to stay here again.

    Our family of 4 stayed here over spring break for our first trip ever to Universal! We had a lovely time. Shout out to the hotel staff. We arrived later than expected with an imminent dinner reservation at The Chocolate Emporium in City Walk. The clerk calmly offered to push our reservation back a little to give us time to check in, get changed and chill. What a delight! And the proximity to the parks plus the Unlimited Express passes - unbeatable!

    Funny story my wife and I couldn’t wait to check into RP as it was the only Universal hotel we hadn’t stayed at yet. We checked in and went up to our room to find it EMPTY!! No furniture nothing, they were refurbing the room. Lmao. They made up for it by giving us a club level room where we could visit the club room as many times as we wished (very cool). But over all the resort was disappointing and didn’t live up to the hype, Sapphire Falls is still our go to for sure.
