Touring Universal Orlando

This will be my last post about the parks and will focus on strategies for touring Universal Orlando, including buying tickets, Early Entry, Universal Express, Single Rider lines, crowd levels, touring plans and navigating the parks. I will still have a few more blog posts about my trip after this one, looking at hotel, flights, and so on.

Entertainment at Universal Orlando

There are quite a few shows at Universal Orlando, especially at Universal Studios Florida, but I only saw a few of them, so this post will be relatively short. Universal Orlando also only has one nighttime show (Cinematic Spectacular), and it wasn't showing any of the three days that I was in the parks.

Attractions at Universal Studios Florida

I'm moving on to my posts about Universal Orlando, starting with the attractions at Universal Studios Florida. This was my first visit to this park (on my previous trip to Universal Orlando I only visited Islands of Adventure), although I was familiar with a few of the attractions from Universal Studios Hollywood.

Other Activities in the Disney World Parks

Disney Dining Plan

For the first part of our Disney World trip, I had a package which included a free quick-service dining plan. This plan included two quick service meals and one snack for each night of my stay, plus a refillable mug for the length of stay (actually valid for 14 calendar days regardless of how long the stay is).
