All opinions expressed below are completely our own and were not influenced by Universal Orlando.
We only share things we believe our readers will be interested in learning about.
You wont waste any time driving or commuting back and forth to the parks.
The resorts offer comfortable rooms in beautiful prefs to help you truly relax and engage with your family.
On our families most recent stay we were able to the beautiful Universals Cabana Bay Beach Resort.
This resort is a true paradise and escape from daily life.
They have everything you need!
There are a variety of rooms including these large family suites.
We just loved the fun decor and spacious accommodations!
There truly is something for everyone!
Without a park-to-park pass you cannot enjoy this attraction!
Hogwarts Express is not your typical train ride and is definitely not to be missed!
I highly suggest starting your day exploring Diagon Alley in Universal Studios FloridaTM during the morning extra hour.
And believe me when I tell you it WILL.GET.CROWDED!
Depending on which hotel you stay at it may be included so check before you book your hotel.
But even if it is not, this is a perk worth springing for if you have limited time!
Pack Light
Universal Orlando strictly limits what guests can bring on a ride.
Most rides wont even let you carry anything; some let you keep a cell phone in your pocket.
And bags are a strict no.
So what do you do with your stuff while you ride?
So, why not just take what you want and use the lockers?
Well, for one, they are SMALL.
They fit your cell phone, wallet, keys, and sunglasses, but not much else.
Larger lockers are available for a $10 fee.
In my opinion, wear a lanyard with your ticket, express pass, and id/money in between.
That and your cell phone will make it the easiest for you to get around.
This stunning waterpark is my new favorite.
The park is beautiful,well laid out, and has thrills for everyone.
Our favorites were the large wave pool, River Rapids (definitely not alazyriver) and the aquacoaster.
But there are certainly more than enough slides and activities to keep you happily splashing the whole day away.
One of our favorite features was the TapuTapu.
This super clever piece of technology is for your use free of charge.
Plus the waterpark opens 1 hour early for resort guests!
