Ready for your Universal Orlando Snacks challenge?
Have you ever heard of a “lady who lunches?” We need to start recognizing those ladies who snack, in my personal opinion!
So many people talk and gush about the snacks at Walt Disney World, but I feel it’s high time that Universal starts getting some love when it comes to their snacks.
All throughout their resort, there are sweet, savory, tangy and delicious snacks that deserve…
… I mean demand the public’s attention!
Not only do the Universal Orlando snacks deliver, but ALL of these that I mention are affordable at just under $10!
You simply cannot deny that at this point you are intrigued by the prospect.
Today, I ask you to be open minded and read on as I share Universal Orlando snacks that I believe you simply HAVE to try!
Are you trying to figure out the BEST way to park at Universal Orlando for your trip?
Admittedly, no one really talks about a really important factor when it comes to visiting the Universal Orlando Resort.
Normally, guests are either staying on property or at a good neighbor hotel nearby, so it’s not a concern.
If you are local or renting a car to get around the Orlando area, then this becomes a bigger concern because it’s not as cut and dry as one would think.
It can even get confusing and frustrating when you don’t know everything but of course, now you have me!
I have all the tea you need to prepare for parking at Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, CityWalk and the hotels.
I will get you parked and off to the fun! Today, I’m going to touch base on the following:
Did you know that you can enter into the Beast’s castle at Disney World?
One of the many reasons guests come to the vacation destination that is Walt Disney World, is to have the ability to step into the world of the animated classics that they grew up with on their televisions.
Disney takes pride in their Imagineering team and their ability to transfer animation to reality in their parks with immaculate storytelling, theme and a perfect blend of familiarity with new extensions.
The Beast’s Castle in the Magic Kingdom is a great example of some of the intricate techniques that WDI (Walt Disney Imagineering) have come to utilize through the years.
Today, I will be letting you in on the mystery of this castle.
Ready to party it up at Cedar Point Nights and have a delicious feast at the Lake Erie Luau?
Summer is, unfortunately coming to an end.
As some of us are all winding down and getting ready for one of the most anticipated seasons of the year, some of us aren’t quite ready to say goodbye yet!
For those who want to get one last sun filled event in, you are definitely going to need to visit cedar point nights and their Lake Erie Luau.
I was invited to attend the family fun filled evening and while I didn’t have much as far as expectations, it was absolutely a relaxing and fun time.
Let’s dive into what exactly the event is and what’s in store for you when you come!
To start, what is this Cedar Point event?
I know we’ve all heard the phrase from Universal: Never Go ALONE! But, do you think it’s weird or scary to have a solo Halloween Horror Nights trip? I don’t think so!
The air is getting cooler, there is a spine-tingling aura surrounding Orlando for solo travelers ready to descend upon Universal for the Halloween season.
In Orlando, haunts are one of the most anticipated events of the year. The leader in this has to be hands down, Halloween Horror Nights (HHN).
Preparations are being made around the clock every year and every year it continues to be one of the most visited haunts in the United States.
2020 was the first time that it had not happened, due to Universal’s mission to keep its guests and Team Members safe from the pandemic.
While they did surprise some visitors with limited time haunted houses, one of which was the Beetlejuice House.
In my best Captain America voice, “So, you decided to go to Halloween Horror Nights and you want to know what to bring?”
You bucked up the courage, you found a friend (or two) to protect you AND you bought your nonrefundable, nontransferable ticket.
There is no turning back now, you are going to enter the fog!
Congratulations and let me just say I am so proud of you and I swear you will have fun! But now it’s time to ask yourself “What does one bring with them to HHN?”
What does a seasoned HHN visitor pack when entering the fog?
I asked this very question recently since I have only been twice myself and they were years apart.
This is a very important question, even if you are brave enough to go as a solo traveler, in which case I salute you!
And hey! Today, we will get down to all the essential items that one needs when going to Halloween Horror Nights!
And not to worry, you can hold my hand on this HHN packing list guide.
The time of year that most of us has anticipated is upon us. Halloween Season. And nothing’s more important than the Halloween Horror Nights Icons.
With the arrival of this most coveted season that ushers in the brisk weather and rosy red and golden leaves, brings us Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) at Universal Orlando Resort.
Originally beginning as Fright Nights in 1991, with only 1 house and running for 2 nights in October to quickly growing into a two-month long event with 10 houses, 5 scare zones and fabulous entertainment, food and merchandise.
