#mytripvlog #harrypotter This was my first trip since the lockdown. It was the most enjoyable experience I’ve had in about 2-3 years. I got picked at Ollivander’s, rode the Hogwarts express, and finally had an excuse to live as a wizard for an entire day. For a Potterhead (like myself) this trip was well worth the wait and all of the walking…. And man was it a lot of walking. If you’re thinking of going here, do. it.!!!!!

Completed the Universal Dojo I had a great time for 2 nights at Park to Park. They say it's the rainy season starting in November, but I had a great time without getting rained on. I was fine, but there's news of rain starting tomorrow... Everyone, bring an umbrella~

The attention to detail and the immersive experiences are spectacular. And so much fun. Oh how I love Universal Studios. Looking forward to getting back here one day soon. #gooutside #yourawizardharry

When I studied abroad in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I rented a car and went to Universal Studios in Orlando. One of the great things about studying abroad is being able to drive long distances in a rental car while talking to friends from all over the world about each other's cultures. As you would expect from Universal Studios in the US. It was completely different in scale from Japan, and there were a lot of attractions. It was bigger than Universal Studios in Los Angeles. The atmosphere and types of attractions were similar to those in Japan. In the world of Harry Potter, which is also in Japan, I drank butterbeer and enjoyed the Shrek attractions. After that, I rented a large apartment nearby on Airbnb and stayed there. I'm glad that there are so many places to stay on Airbnb in the US. #ThemePark #Florida #Orlando #USA #Universal

Universal Orlando is home to two amazing theme parks - Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. City Walk is a lively, bustling attraction as soon as you walk in before the theme park gates. City Walk at night is vibrant with so much to see. There’s shops, and popular dining, such as Hard Rock Cafe and The Chocolate Emporium, and entertainment/nightclubs. Parking is free for guests after 6 PM. The Bourne Stuntacular is a must-see show at Universal Studios! It is an amazing high speed chase that puts you right in the middle of the action. I’ve never seen anything like it! Make sure to get on Universal’s newest ride Velocicoaster at Islands of Adventure! #themepark #universalstudios #universalorlando #citywalk

Orlando, home to the world's largest Universal Studios, features three parks: 1. Universal Studios Florida; 2. Universal’s Islands of Adventure; 3. Volcano Bay. The third is a water park and not typically included in general discussions. Parks 1 and 2 are adjacent, making this guide perfect for those who want to visit both parks in one day and don't mind early starts and walking. 📌 Preparation Needed: 1. One-day two-park ticket + Express Pass: Approximately $300 per person. Buy directly from the official app, as platforms like Ctrip or Fliggy tend to be more expensive. 2. Stay at any Universal Resort hotel (there are eight options with varying prices). Hotel guests can enter Islands of Adventure an hour early, saving at least an hour in line for Hagrid’s Motorbike. Premium hotels offer free Express Passes, which is a great deal. 3. A small flat bag. Free lockers in the park are only about 20cm high and 40cm wide; larger bags require extra fees. 📌 There are five rides across both parks where the Express Pass cannot be used: 1. Hagrid's Motorbike; 2. Revenge of the Mummy; 3. VelociCoaster; 4. Fievel’s Playland; 5. Pteranondon Flyers. Rides 4 and 5 are children's attractions and can generally be skipped. 📌 Key Strategy: - Follow the route in Map 2 to avoid backtracking. - Refer to the sequence in Map 3, skipping some rides if needed based on interest and energy levels. 📌 Additional Tips: - If staying at a Universal hotel, purchases in the park and Citywalk can be delivered to your hotel for free. - Each park has a Harry Potter area: Hogsmeade in Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley & Gringotts in Universal Studios. - The downside of this route is that it's less convenient for watching parades, which occur in Universal Studios, not Islands of Adventure. However, you can walk between parks in about ten minutes. - To catch the parade, confirm the time at the visitor center in advance to avoid missing it. Enjoy your visit and make unforgettable memories! #USA #InternationalTravel #OrlandoUniversalStudios #BeijingUniversalStudios #UniversalStudios #HarryPotter #DiagonAlley #Gringotts #Hogsmeade #Hogwarts #Florida #IslandsOfAdventure #AmusementPark #ThemePark #SpringOuting

Universal Studios in Orlando is one of the earliest and largest Universal theme parks in the world. Although it may seem smaller compared to the neighboring Disney World, it still offers a full day of excitement with an average of 20,000 steps. As of 2024, it consists of three separate parks: 1. Universal Studios Florida: This classic park offers immersive experiences with popular Universal Studios IPs such as Minions, Transformers, Harry Potter, The Mummy, and The Simpsons. Key attractions include Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, King's Cross Station, the Knight Bus, the Hogwarts Express, and Gringotts Bank. 2. Universal's Islands of Adventure: Known for its adventurous and thrilling rides, this park features attractions like Hogsmeade, the Hogwarts Castle, the Hogwarts Express, and the Forbidden Journey. The Hogwarts Express connects Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios, requiring a park-to-park ticket. 3. Universal’s Volcano Bay: A water-themed park that offers unique roller coasters like the Manta Ray, the Ice Breaker, and the Kraken. It's a must-visit for roller coaster enthusiasts. 🎫 Ticket Recommendations: The 2-day 2-park (park-to-park) ticket is highly recommended. A one-day two-park visit is not advisable due to the tight schedule and potential exhaustion. The park-to-park ticket allows unlimited access between Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, making it worth the slightly higher price. This ticket is necessary to ride the Hogwarts Express, as single-park tickets do not allow access. ⏩ Express Pass: Not necessary for a 2-day 2-park visit or during non-peak seasons. Universal's Express Pass is different from Disney's Genie+ and is quite expensive, almost as much as the ticket itself. ⬇️ Universal Florida App: Download the Universal Studios app for electronic tickets and to check wait times. Must-try attractions include Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, Revenge of the Mummy, and the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. The Hogwarts Express is a recommended experience for those with a park-to-park ticket. Family-friendly attractions include Minions, Transformers, The Simpsons, and Race Through New York, suitable for all ages with immersive virtual scenes. #OrlandoUniversalStudios #UniversalStudiosGuide

Universal Studios Florida offers a more thrilling experience compared to Disney World, with its expansive attractions and three distinct parks: Studios, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay. The first two parks are adjacent, allowing visitors to travel between them via the Harry Potter train. The Harry Potter attractions are spread across both parks, with Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure offering a unique ride experience at Islands of Adventure. The main park features a different Harry Potter village with the fire-breathing dragon and Escape from Gringotts, a 4D indoor roller coaster. The immersive experience of Hagrid's ride, with its multiple accelerations, decelerations, and special effects, is worth the long wait. The Escape from Gringotts ride, while less intense, offers an intriguing castle-like setting. The Harry Potter village in the main park is also a great spot for photos. The train connecting the two parks is a must-try, reminiscent of Harry Potter's journey to Hogwarts, but requires a two-park ticket. Other recommended attractions include: 1. Revenge of the Mummy: A thrilling indoor roller coaster with 4D effects. 2. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit: Features a vertical drop and customizable music. 3. Jurassic World VelociCoaster: An exhilarating indoor-outdoor roller coaster. 4. The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man: A city-crossing parkour experience. 5. Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls and Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges: Water rides that guarantee a splash. Despite being open for 35 years, the park is well-maintained, with many attractions looking brand new. Seuss Landing is particularly photogenic with its vibrant colors and charming IPs. While not specifically attending shows, a spontaneous street percussion performance in the Hollywood area added to the fun atmosphere. #UniversalStudiosFlorida #OrlandoThemeParks #HarryPotterWorld

Universal Studios Orlando consists of three separate parks: Universal Studios Florida, Universal's Islands of Adventure, and Universal's Volcano Bay. Universal Studios Florida is the classic park featuring the Harry Potter Diagon Alley. Universal's Islands of Adventure offers more thrilling rides and is home to the Hogwarts Castle. Volcano Bay is the water park. Transportation: Universal Studios is about 15 miles or a 20-minute drive from Orlando Airport. Uber costs range from $30 to $60. Parking fees are $27 for regular parking and $40-$60 for prime parking. The parking address is 6000 Universal Boulevard Orlando, FL 32819. How to maximize your visit? Free Mode: 1. Arrive before the park opens and head straight to popular attractions. Arriving a minute early can save you 30 minutes in line. 2. Consider splitting up with friends and using the Single Rider Lines, which can sometimes be faster than the Express Pass. Note that not all attractions support this, and availability can vary. Express Mode: Purchase an Express Pass to significantly reduce wait times. The Express entrance is separate from the regular entrance. Notes: 1. With an Express Pass, focusing on key attractions and walking briskly, you can visit two parks in one day. 2. During holidays, it's highly recommended to buy an Express Pass to avoid long waits. 3. If you purchase a 1-Park Universal Express Pass, ensure you select the correct park as prices are the same but not interchangeable. #Orlando #UniversalStudiosOrlando #UniversalStudiosGuide

The Gringotts Ride is truly amazing, and the butterbeer is incredibly delicious. The dragon's fire-breathing is intensely hot, and Knockturn Alley is a delightful surprise filled with dark magic vibes. I exchanged some money at the bank to keep as a souvenir, and the candy shop is filled with the sweet aroma of candies. Despite the imperfect weather and timing, everything else was absolutely perfect. I must wake up early tomorrow to visit Gringotts again. #UniversalStudios #UniversalStudiosPhotography #HarryPotter #HarryPotterDiagonAlley #UniversalOrlando

Planning a trip to Orlando's Universal Studios? Here's a comprehensive guide to make the most of your visit. It's best to avoid wearing flip-flops as you'll be walking a lot. Consider getting a Fast Pass to cut down queue times by up to 60%. Download the Universal Studios app to check real-time wait times for attractions. Must-Visit Attractions: 1. **Universal Studio Florida** - **Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast**: A shooting game on a conveyor belt. It might be dull for adults but kids could enjoy it. - **Despicable Me Minion Mayhem**: A 4D motion simulator ride with a storyline that gives a slight feeling of weightlessness. - **Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit**: An outdoor roller coaster with steep drops and 360-degree spins. Thrill-seekers will love it! - **Revenge of the Mummy**: An indoor roller coaster with amazing scenes. It's fun and not too hot while waiting in line. - **TRANSFORMERS The Ride-3D**: An indoor 3D ride with moving seats, not very thrilling. - **Fast & Furious - Supercharged**: An indoor ride on a moving bus with a storyline, not very thrilling. - **Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts**: A famous indoor roller coaster with stunning scenes and moderate thrills. - **MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack!**: An indoor ride with moving cars and shooting aliens, not very thrilling. - **The Simpsons Ride**: An indoor 4D ride with a storyline and slight weightlessness. Nearby, you can find turkey leg stalls. After exploring Universal Studio Florida, take the Hogwarts™ Express to the Harry Potter area. The train and platform are perfect for photos. Stay tuned for more tips in the next installment! #UniversalStudios #OrlandoTravel #ThemeParkTips

Universal was easy to come/go by bus! There is a bus operate from early morning until late night that we can save lot of money from transportation. So choosing the hotel which on the bus route might be more convenience. Recommend to go early morning that you can get a golden hour for photo!

#USATravel When you go to Orlando, you can't miss Disney World, but you can't miss Universal. Thanks to the Florida weather, there are palm trees, which adds to the exotic scenery, and the themes, such as Harry Potter, are divided into detailed sections, so it's great for enjoying the theme park or attractions. If you stay at a Universal Resort, you can enter the park faster and don't have to pay for parking, so I recommend connecting accommodations when staying. If you want to fully visit both parks, you should go for more than two days! #Florida #UniversalStudios #ThemePark

#CanadaFlightEvent If you go to Disney World, you must stop by here. It has a strong main branch(?) feel, so you won't get tired of it even if you go on a week-long trip to the amusement park. Harry Potter is also big, and those who like other movies and attractions will all be satisfied. I recommend it. #Orlando

#getgoing2025 #universalstudios #themepark #orlandoflorida #themeparkfun #travel Universal Studios Orlando is my absolute favorite theme park in the world. It has some of the best thrill rides. The park is well maintained. Despicable Me and Harry Potter Areas are the best according to me. I loved trying the butter beer there too. There is just so much to see and do here. I recommend making time for character meet and greets as well. I can strongly vouch for this theme park for an amazing day of fun and entertainment.

#magicalxmastrip • Holiday Highlights: Experience Universal’s incredible transformation for the holiday season with festive decor, lights, and snow falling on Hollywood Boulevard. • Holiday Food: Indulge in seasonal treats like Christmas-themed sugar cookies, gingerbread, and peppermint-flavored sweets.

Universal Studios, the world's largest, has three parks in total, two land parks and one water park. Our way of playing this time is to play two land parks in one day. Note⚠️You can only ride the Hogwarts if you buy a ticket for two parks in one day. The Zite Express can shuttle between the two parks. If you buy one park per day, you cannot take it! The following is an introduction to the must-see facilities that I personally consider: 1️⃣Hogwarts Express🚂: Imagine that you are a student about to enter the magic school. The scenery starting from platform 9 and 3/4 will make you immersed in it. The scenes you see in different directions are different. It is recommended to take both trips. Take it! 2️⃣Escape from Gringotts🧙: 4D ride, only available in Orlando in the world, the facility I highly recommend🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟, when you are caught by Bella Reiswan, it is really exciting! 3️⃣Revenge of the Mummy: The indoor roller coaster was under maintenance when I came this time. It was a pity that I didn’t get to play it, but I have played it at Universal Studios Singapore. The atmosphere was very good and it is highly recommended! 4️⃣Transformers: 4D Ride, the gameplay is a bit similar to Spider-Man, the landscaping and effects are also good, making it immersive, but the car is very shaken, so it is also suitable for people with sore feet and can sit on it. 5️⃣Little Soldiers: It is similar to the 4D ride, but you sit on a chair and watch the big screen. The chair will vibrate along with the plot. I can only say that the Little Soldiers are really cute, and it is very suitable for children to play! In addition to the above introduction, Universal Studios Florida is the only Universal Studios in the world that has Diagon Alley. It is very worth visiting and taking many photos. There are also many shops in Universal Studios and the souvenirs are also very exquisite. It is definitely worth visiting. Have a blessed day! Filming time: 09/09/2024 Name: Universal Studios Florida Address: 6000 Universal Blvd, Orlando, FL 32819 Time: It is recommended to mainly use the official website Tickets: It is recommended to visit the official website #Orlando #orlando #florida #florida #Universal Studios #Dream Come True #Harry Potter #Diagon Alley #2024Travel Review

You don't have to be a kid here to have fun! Me and my pal had a great time wandering around the parks over a couple of days and managed to see everything. The queues weren't too bad and the food was great all around, definitely get a Flaming Moe's when you are there! My only disappointment was not having enough space in my luggage to take back all the souvenirs they got in their shops!
