We'll start with Universal's Portofino Bay Hotel, the 2002 winner of the Best Theme Park Hotel Award.
Also up for consideration is Universal's Hard Rock Hotel.
Both hotels, along with Universal's Royal Pacific, offer unlimited front-of-the-line access to attractions at Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure, earning both hotels wide-spread praise from Theme Park Insider readers, in addition to the hotels' accommodations, dining and services.
If you've stayed in one (or both) of these hotels within the past year, please click on their names to go to their Theme Park Insider listing pages, where you can submit your rating and comment.
We'll announce the winners on the Fourth of July, based on cumulative reader ratings submitted over the past 12 months. That's why it's important that you click over to our park listings page to submit your rating for any rides, shows, restaurants and hotels you've been to over the past year. Just pick the parks you've visited in that time, click their names on that page, then click on the locations you'd like to rate.
Once you've rated one, you'll be given links to the other attractions and restaurants in that park, so you don't have to keep clicking back and forth. If you want to rate a different park, just return to the park listings page, or click the park's link in the green column on the right side of the page.
If you've not submitted ratings on Theme Park Insider before (and you do not need to register first), please read our guide for rating before you start. Thanks for rating, and thanks for reading Theme Park Insider.

I stayed at the Royal Pacific last year and posted a review then, for folks who'd like to look that one up in the June 2008 archives. (Link in green column to the right.)

I manage to afford staying at Disney because we usually travel with 8 people, each paying their own way, and split a 2-bedroom DVC.
