If you haven’t visited the Universal Orlando Resort (UOR) recently, you’re missing out. In the 35 years since they opened, they’ve gone from being a single park to a multi-day destination comprising four, soon to be five, theme parks. Even if you visited in the past few years, they continue to add new hotels and attractions. In May, they’ll be adding their fourth theme park, Epic Universe, which just reinforces UOR as one of the best travel destinations for family fun.
You may ask, “What makes it so great?”
- State of the art attractions
- Harry Potter
- Great food
- Universal CityWalk
- Harry Potter
- Amazing hotels
And, by the way, did I mention Harry Potter? That’s right; the Wizarding World of Harry Potter gives us 2 incredibly immersive lands, Diagon Alley in Universal Studios and the village of Hogsmeade in Universal Islands of Adventure, that are bound to make most muggles squeal in delight. Beginning in May, you will be able to experience even more magic as these two lands will be joined by a third, the Ministry of Magic, in Epic Universe.
The best part of Universal Orlando Resort is that there is family fun for all ages. Whether you’re a toddler or a kid-at-heart, UOR offers something for everyone no matter what your age. Adrenaline junkies will love the roller coasters and water rides, there are rides for kids of all sizes, younger children can enjoy some of the best themed play areas and families will enjoy the many shows and character meet and greets. Halloween lovers can attend Halloween Horror Night in the fall. Seasonal offerings include the springtime Mardi Gras celebration, where you can enjoy a colorful Mardi Gras parade every night of the event, catch some beads, enjoy special food offerings and, on the weekends, you can attend free concerts featuring some of music’s biggest names. The best part is that it is all included with your park admission. During the winter holidays the parks come alive with special Christmas shows, elaborate decorations, and a Holiday Parade featuring real Macy’s balloons!
Whether it’s your first time, or your first time in a while, NOW is the perfect time to make plans to visit Universal Orlando Resort.
