I have stayed at all 3 Universal Orlando resorts - Portofino and Hard Rock are both "deluxer" than Royal Pacific.

This is a WDW fan site so saying anything pro-Universal turns people into Whispering Canyon CMs.

It's as simple as this: As long as people are willing to pay extra extra extra to stay in what WDW calls deluxe rooms you can't blame WDW for selling them what they will buy.

I don't hear many people who have stayed at WDW deluxe say they weren't happy with what they got.
