universal

I made a booking through the Universal Orlando website last night and made some pretty dumb mistakes with the number of people and the ticket packages. Sadly, I'm not able to cancel or modify this stuff online and I've been on hold for two hours trying to get through to a Universal customer...

Any word on the valet option returning? Seems like with the rest of the changes back to normal that this can't be far off.

We are taking a Disney cruise at the end of October and are coming to Orlando a few days early to do something the kids haven’t done. First my wife thought Sea World since non of us have been there, but I thought immediately of getting my kids to Universal and the Wizzarding World! With the big...

At the park now and sitting the fat wait of shame while I wait for the rest of my party to ride. Wanted to share my size deets so other friends can prepare themselves!!! I’m a 5’3 female, I wear a 3X in torrid, roughly 22-24 jeans and did not fit the test seat. JP is my favorite movie of all...

I've seen mentions of requesting balcony rooms in different threads, but I haven't seen any mentions of booking a balcony room. Is there any way to do this? I would consider booking club level or a suite if it was guaranteed.

Hi All, my hubby and I are planning our anniversary trip from 10/31-11/11. We currently have 8 nights booked at the Polynesian from 10/31-11/8 with a transfer over to Royal Pacific from 11/8-11/11. We have the option of going to halloween horror nights on check in day, but that would push disney...

Islands of Adventure doesn't do as well as Universal Studios Florida when it comes to interesting and unique dining options. However, there's a small spot in The Lost Continent you're probably not eating at - Fire Eater's Grill. Watch and find out why it's actually one of the best quick service...

Hello! I’m planning a trip for summer 2021. I went last August, so I’m already familiar with The Unprecedented Times version of Disney World. I keep meaning to write a trip report for that, because I’d like to remember how unique that trip was. Well, I hope it’s going to be considered unique! I...

We are looking at booking in June of this year and are looking at club level at either Portifino Bay or Royal Pacific. When inquiring about pricing the gentlemen mentioned there is a continental breakfast and "packaged" snacks, and drinks in the evenings. Can anyone give us any more...

I haven’t been to Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure in over 5 years. I don’t really remember much about the rides as we don’t go too often. I’m hoping to incorporate a day or two at Universal/Islands of Adventure on my next trip to Florida. What rides would you suggest that are not...

Hello, friends! My name is Shelbie and I recently returned home from a Universal/WDW vacation in July 2020. I went on this trip with my husband and our friends for a couples trip. Aside from my friend Keeley, the rest of us were Universal newbies. We booked this trip back in October 2019...

Does USF have collectable popcorn buckets? I've Googled some funky minion popcorn buckets from Universal Japan. Are these available in the Florida parks?

Hello and welcome to my newest trip report! If you've read/are reading my other reports, you'll recognize me and thanks for coming back! If not, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Courtney, the pilot of this trip and writer of this trip report. This trip marked my 23rd trip to WDW! I...

Welcome one and all to another year of trip planning! Alternatively known as a game of how many trips can I fit into a year while staying in budget and not getting fired. It's a fun game. I'm sure many of you can relate. Some introductions may be nice here. My name is Courtney. I'm an...

Trying to find a solid answer - hoping someone here might know... If we purchase tickets to Universal from AAA in advance, does the AAA member need to be with us to enter the park, or do we need to just have the card? My uncle, who's ex-wife will be traveling with us, has given us his AAA card...

My family and I are heading down to Disney and Universal in January. I have been doing most of the trip planning, and have seen a lot of the Pooh-sized posts and information regarding rides. However, I have to take all of that information with a grain of salt because I know that a lot of it is...

So we have gone to universal and IOA many times. We have mastered everything... except how to preserve our tickets for the week. Like the actual ticket. We have tried the plastic lanyard holders, sandwich baggies, wallets, etc. But between the Florida humidity,wet rides, and tucking the tickets...

Welcome one and all! We're back from our longest trip to Orlando yet and I can't wait to share it all. Bur first things first, I'm Courtney, your trip reporter leader. I'm an Emergency Room nurse overnight. My favorites include Animal Kingdom, The Little Mermaid, rare character meets, roller...

I like to consider myself somewhat of an expert when it comes to planning and navigating around Walt Disney World. However, I know next to nothing about Universal Studios. I have a short trip planned to visit US/IOA next summer. My friends, husband, and I wanted to take an adults-couples-trip to...

Planning a big family holiday next year, which will include my 10-year-old nephew. Will HHN be suitable for him? I've watched walk through vids etc and the houses never actually seem that scary, but I guess it's different to actually being there. The rest of the group are 25>. I'm not too...
