Minions, Dinosaurs, Wizards, Movie Magic and Thrills
How to Have The Ultimate Family Adventure at Universal Orlando
Universal Orlando can be an amazing destination for your next family vacation if you plan it right! Thrills, shows, characters, movie magic, and awesome food offerings I recommend it for all families with kids over the age of 5. You’ll be swept away into the stories of Minions, Dinosaurs, Wizards, Transformers, Superheros, and more. Mix this with a relaxing day at the waterpark or enjoy resort amenities and your family will be talking about this trip for years to come.
Give yourself enough time!
Universal Orlando boasts 2 thrilling theme parks, a tropical water theme park, 8 on-site resorts, entertainment, dining, shopping and more! Do not try to see everything in one day. I highly recommend at least 3 days so you won’t feel rushed or miss any fun.
Stay on-site at Universal
Staying at Universal Orlando gives you a ton of perks! Unline some destinations in the area, the three theme parks, shopping and hotels are all conveniently located within walking distance of each other for the most part. In fact, you can even see the thrills right from your hotel room! You’ll also get perks such as early entry, complimentary express passes and more!
The hotels are jam packed value with on-site amenities such as beautiful resort style pools, amazing restaurants, nightly entertainment, bowling and more.
Spend a Full Day in Wizard World!
Take the full adventure just as Harry did After joining Wizarding school, you’ll need to shop for all your wizarding school supplies including a custom wand before riding the train to school. When you get there, go on a Forbidden journey, try chocolate frogs, practice your magic and ride on Hagrid’s motorbike. There’s so much to do! I recommend a full day just for this adventure.
Character Central
While visiting Universal you can meet a ton of your favorite characters including some from your childhood too. Most can be found on the Universal Studios side in the late mornings so take a leisurely stroll after rope dropping your must-dos.
Add a resort day or two
After all the thrilling adventures, you’ll want to slow down and enjoy everything you resort has to offer. Most resorts have amazing pools with lazy rivers, waterslides, splash pads and private cabanas. In the evening, take a water taxi and enjoy City Walk, the shopping & entertainment complex on-site.
Make room in your plan for the Waterpark
Volcano Bay is arguably the best waterpark in the USA. They have really thought of everything to make your waterpark day as seamless and relaxing as possible. Use your complimentary tapu tapu bracelet to hold your place in line at most water rides while you enjoy the other parts of the park! It can also open your family locker, charge your food & drinks to your credit card, play with the interactive parts of the park, and take family photos with a tap.
Use a trusted Travel Advisor
Using a trusted travel advisor to help you plan your trip can help you save time & money and it can cost you nothing extra. You can get extra perks like early entry and exclusive discounts as well as get personalized vacation planning services. Make sure your advisor works with a UPreferred Agency! This tells you they know and sell Universal Vacations very well and I guarantee you will have the best trip as possible with their valuable advise, insider tips & tricks and deals.
