Universal Orlando: Eat, Sleep, PLAY
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room … or just toss it out of the room and head out for a day filled with exhilarating rides, character greetings, and entertainment. Yes, there is another property in Florida that many think of when discussing an Orlando vacation. This article is not about that property. This article is about the property just down the street that has just as many (maybe more!) highlights guaranteed to fill your photo albums with amazing memories.
Universal Orlando is host to gorgeous resorts, multiple theme parks, and a public area that draws residents and visitors alike for a unique night on the town. This is truly an experience meant to please all ages, making Universal Orlando a one-of-kind multi-generational must-do. And because Universal Studios is certainly aware of its biggest competition, every aspect here is designed to “WOW!” visitors who quickly forget all about life outside this meandering campus.

Now back to that elephant in the room. Actually, where did it go? Perhaps on the Hogwarts’ Express between Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade? Or grabbing a selfie with Dr. Seuss, Thing One, and Thing Two? Maybe catching all the action at one of the many fabulous shows, such as The Bourne Stuntacular or The Blues Brothers. Wait, maybe it's floating through the lazy river at Volcano Bay.
