We will be traveling Memorial Day week and we already have PBR booked for the APH rate of $264 a night (which I thought was a good rate).
We could change that to a courtyard family suite at CBBR for $160 a night.
We will spend half our time at the pool and probably go to the parks in the mornings and evenings. We’ve done everything in the parks multiple times.
The kids loved the pool at PBR in September because it had zero depth entry and was never crowded. I think they would enjoy CBBR, but I’m afraid it might be more crowded. An uncrowded, relaxing pool is important to us.
Will express passes save us a lot of time in May? We were there in May (Memorial Day week also) 2015 and enjoyed our express passes, but there were many rides that were walk on. Have crowds gotten significantly worse?
One more concern: my mom may travel with us. If she goes, PBR is probably better for her because she stays at the resort and doesn’t visit the parks. Can I have two Universal reservations booked at one time- one at PBR and one at CBBR and I can cancel one when I find out if Mom is joining us? Or does Universal do like Disney and cancel overlapping resort reservations?
Both resorts fit in our budget, but the prospect of saving over $500 and trying out CBBR is tempting.
