We stayed at the Portofino Bay. It was really nice and an easy boat ride to the park. You definitely want to stay in one of those hotels around the park so that you can get in to the park earlier before the main crowds. We were able to get most of the Harry Potter rides done before it got packed over there.Taking the family there in September for our vacation.

It can’t be good for your body, it felt like my head and neck were going to snap off on a few of those turns lolThat thang iz SCARY AZ HAYUL!!!!!
Agree with everything stated here. Stay at either Hard Rock, Portifino or Royal Pacific. The Express Pass that comes free at only these three hotels is a game changer. We are going over spring break and had a free room but still booked one night at Royal Pacific just to get two days Express Pass for free. You get it for the day you check in and the day you check out.Royal Pacific is my favorite of the resorts. Easy to walk or boat to the parks. Fantastic sushi bar in the hotel. Stay on the club level if you can (if the club lounges are available during Covid).
The hotel is so easy to access that you can come and go to the park and relax in the middle of the day. Room key is your unlimited fast pass at the park. It’s a game changer. Same offer comes at the Hard Rock or Portifino but we like the Royal Pacific best among the top end hotels.
Cabana Bay and Aventura are newer but, from what I’ve heard, a step down (we’ve never stayed at either).
hope that helps. Have a great time!
There was a year that I had been at the football stadium working all morning and met the fam at the hotel late afternoon to go over to the park. My kids wanted to hit the Hulk roller coaster as soon as we got there so we got in line and we on it in 10 minutes with the fast passes. They wanted to ride again so we did. As we went back up, I caught the eye of a guy in the regular line a d he was miserable. His kid was whining and just wasn’t having a good day. Anyway, as we passed him the 4th time, I told my kids, this is the last time. If we do this again, that man is going to come through those ropes and choke me to death.Agree with everything stated here. Stay at either Hard Rock, Portifino or Royal Pacific.

Fast pass room key is so nice.
This. I really loved The Mummy ride, too. Hulk ride is killer, too. Drink some butter beer and definitely try the butter beer ice cream. Maybe pick 1 day to do all the water rides so you aren't walking around wet fir multiple days.. Have fun.Ride the newer Hagrid ride on repeat. Best ride I’ve ever been on.

It wasn’t available to ride in December. That could have been temporaryPretty sure ET is still there. I believe it is the only original ride left.
I don’t think royal pacific is any closerWe stayed at Portifino Bay last time and loved it. I just really liked the whole Italy aesthetic. Staying at Royal Pacific for the first time. Excited to see how it is. And I’ll like being a little closer to the parks. Portifino was a tad to far for the rest of the family to want to walk. My 10 year old is already doing a count down to when we leave. Not sure who is more excited though, me or her. If I didn’t have kids I would be one of the adults who goes alone. No shame. But I’m glad my daughter is just as excited.
I don’t think royal pacific is any closer
You will find that although Royal Pacific is closer, it feels just as separated from the park as Portofino.. you will like it.It is. Portofino is about a 15 minute walk. Royal Pacific is 5-7. And I believe Hard Rock is closest at under-5. One reason I liked Portofino is because it is as so secluded and so you had separation from the parks. But it’ll also be nice to be just a few minutes away. Not that 15 minutes is crazy.
I was there in November last year and it was running.I believe ET ride has been shelved....for good reason
Went in November. Stayed at Royal Pacific. Definitely the hotel to be in. Sushi restaurant was the teets. Hagrid is the best ride I've ever been on. If you get soaked on one of the water rides the huge blow dryer thing is the best 5 bucks you'll ever spend.You will find that although Royal Pacific is closer, it feels just as separated from the park as Portofino.. you will like it.
