I am going on a preview to Orlando. When I called to inquire about booking I was told I’m in a studio. I thought it was a one bedroom but I suppose I could be wrong. There’s only 2 of us so it’s not that big a deal for 3 nights. My question is which of the Orlando resorts have the nicest studio? We are only visiting Universal and will enjoy the pool the rest of the trip weather cooperating! Thanks for any help! I’ve looked at pictures but nothing beats just asking owners.

FYI sometimes you can upgrade to a 1-BR for these 3-night promotional deals. I was able to upgrade to a 1-bedroom at Trump for a total of like $85 for 3 nights. Based, of course, on availabity.

Are you sure that you are being assigned an HGVC TS resort? Many times during these preview packages, you will be placed in an hotel.

Yes.. I have a choice of the 4 but in a studio. It was actually a great deal. Included a short cruise and a Hilton gift card.

If going to Universal, the two closest + most convenient are:
Las Palmeras and SeaWorld. My preference is for SeaWorld.
SeaWorld is more resort-like; Palmeras was formerly a hotel.
