Many people think that Universal Orlando is an “add-on” experience when planning to visit Walt Disney World Resort. Those people are wrong! Universal Orlando is made up of 2 theme parks, 1 water park, CityWalk and 8 on site resort hotels. This is NOT a one (or two!) day experience. Consider making Universal Orlando a multi day stand alone trip! Read on for a few reasons why you need more than a day or two.
1. Wizarding World Magic: Live your Harry Potter dreams in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade. Sip some butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks, or have your wand choose YOU at Ollivanders Wand Shop. Universal Orlando brings the enchanting world of Harry Potter to life! The Wizarding World is an oasis for Potterheads, complete with Diagon Alley and a ride on a broomstick through Hogwarts Castle. Who needs a portkey when you have a ticket to Orlando? (Not sure what any of these words mean? Read the books and watch the movies – they are amazing!)
2. Thrills Galore: From the heart-pounding loops of the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit to the pulse-pounding adventure of Velocicoaster, Universal Orlando is a thrill-seeker’s paradise. Even if you’re not a roller coaster aficionado, the incredible rides and attractions cater to all levels of adrenaline junkies. Pro tip: Express Pass. Express Pass. Express Pass. (Ask me more – I can explain.)
3. Minion Mayhem & More: Who doesn’t love those lovable, mischievous Minions? Universal Orlando is home to Illumination’s Minon Land where you can join Gru and his yellow army for a laugh-out-loud 3D ride or join in Villain-Con and encounter the Vicious 6 as you blast your way to supervillain stardom. Plus, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re battling villains with Spider-Man, going on a water ride with Popeye, or experiencing the adrenaline rush of Fast & Furious – Supercharged. It’s a cinematic adventure come to life!
Ready for a fun-filled escape? Universal Orlando is waiting!
