Orlando Vacation!\u00a0 I am a Disney girl at heart, but Harry Potter has been calling to my oldest daughter and since our youngest was finally over that 42\u201d mark, we felt that we could have fun as a family and not spend the entire day doing child swap.\u00a0 When looking at the hotel options, I knew without a doubt that we wanted to stay at one of the on property deluxe hotels so that we could take advantage of the early entry and free unlimited Express Pass.\u00a0 Beyond that I wasn\u2019t set on one particular hotel or room type until I did my research.\u00a0 All of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/universal-orlando-resort\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Universal Resorts <\/a>are wonderful in their own way, but I was initially drawn to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themagicforless.com\/universal-orlando-resort\/hard-rock-hotel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hard Rock Hotel\u00a0 <\/a>because of the pool.\u00a0 It looked like a vacation in itself and I could see myself sitting in a chair, my feet in the sand, cool drink in hand, watching the kids play in the zero entry pool.\u00a0 That sounded wonderful!\u00a0 Then, after a business trip landed me at the Hard Rock back in December, \u00a0I was set on the Hard Rock as far as location goes.\u00a0 While there are boats that you can take to get to City Walk, I found the easy five minute walk to Universal and ten minute walk to Islands of Adventure to be most convenient.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7758\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7758\" style=\"width:

id=\"caption-attachment-7758\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Relaxing in the pool after a long day of touring the parks is a perfect way to end the day!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now that I was set on location, I needed to book a reservation, but what room type?\u00a0 My first thought was that we never choose a room based on view (we don\u2019t spend time looking out the window so why pay more for a certain view?) so I would just go with the lowest priced room for a family of five and call it good.\u00a0 Then I learned about Club Level!\u00a0 At first I thought that the upgrade was just too pricey.\u00a0 We were already spending more on the room than we normally spend at Disney (we are a moderate level family) but I could justify that with the Unlimited Express Pass and early entry benefits (well worth the cost!).\u00a0 Club Level was a whole new ballgame, would we get our money\u2019s worth?\u00a0 The short answer is YES we did and I highly encourage the upgrade!\u00a0 It was more than worth the extra nightly expense.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as you check in, even if your room isn\u2019t ready (ours wasn\u2019t), you are given access to the Club Level Hospitality Room.\u00a0 We arrived during afternoon snack time and the kids were hungry so after we dumped our bags with Bell Services, we headed upstairs and instantly felt like rock stars!\u00a0 To get to the seventh floor club level you need your key card for the elevator.\u00a0 My kids were impressed with that fact and how we noticed over the next few days that once we got on the elevator, it was non-stop to the top!\u00a0 No stopping at other floors for people to get on, most of the time it was just us baby!<\/p>\n<p>When we arrived at the newly remodeled seventh floor we headed right into the hospitality room where we found assorted cold sodas (Coke products), lemonade, ice water with lemon and lime, iced tea, a nut based trail mix with M&amp;Ms and raisins, assorted individual bags of chips, granola bars, and bottled water.\u00a0 I really liked how they had little cups with lids next to the trail mix so that you could easily take some to go.\u00a0 We relaxed with our snacks and laid out a game plan for the rest of the day and then headed out to the parks for a few hours, making sure to grab a few bottles of water and some granola bars for later.<\/p>\n<p>After a few hours of park time everyone was hot and ready to put on swim suits and try out the awesome looking pool.\u00a0 It was almost time for the evening hot appetizers so we headed back to the hotel.\u00a0 Back upstairs we were more than pleased to see the offerings.\u00a0 Over the course of a few days the evening snacks included fried macaroni balls, chicken wings, sushi, pot stickers, and more than I can remember, usually there were two main hot items with a salad or coleslaw as well.\u00a0 Every night there were assorted cheese and crackers, a veggie tray, and fruit bowl, iced and hot teas, ice water, sodas, beer and wine, and if the kids ask nice you just might get one of the attendants to whip up a Shirley Temple or two!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium

My first visit was to Disneyland in 1980 and I have been hooked ever since. These days I enjoy Disney vacations with my husband, 3 children, and our extended family. Whether traveling with a large group or a small group, young children, or older adults there truly is something for everyone in a Disney destination vacation! I am excited to help you plan your magical vacation!
