Universal Familiarisation Trip - June 2017

Favourite Universal Experience Volcano Bay was simply amazing, the sheer scale of the park and the variety of rides was very impressive. I love that a family can experience many of the rides together as well as individually. Great for young families so the little ones can feel safe and happy with family and friends. A huge pool to relax by and sand between your toes when resting to get the “beach feel”

Trip Highlights All of it! The first day arriving by water taxi to the famous “Universal” revolving world and the gates was a huge highlight. The pure adrenaline and excitement of what’s to come. Seeing all the characters my little boys idolise and imagining their little faces when I return with them – Simpsons, Transformers, Shrek and Scooby Do to name a few

Biggest Surprise How much I love rollercoasters! The rides are just brilliant, Hulk and Rip Ride Rocket were personal favourites. I really enjoyed seeing Universal by night, the city walk has so much going on with fabulous places to eat and drink the night away. I loved being in my Universal bubble? The hotels are all so close to the parks and if you like to walk it’s so easy to get around using the well laid out walkways or take the water taxis and shuttle buses.

Top Tips Book a Universal hotel that offers fast passes, you will not be disappointed and will get so much more out of your time at Universal and plan your days to maximise activities

Arrive early and beat the queues

Upgrade to the dining plan for great value to budget your days in the parks

Be prepared for the occasion downpour, no suede sandals as I found out?
