Did you know there were affordable resort options Did you know there were affordable resort options at Universal Orlando Resort?! Try Dockside Inn & Suites for your next vacation!⛱️

🏖️ Universal Orlando has a number of beautiful hotels to choose from, all ranging in different price tiers. Some of their more affordable options include the Endless Summer Resorts: the one shown above and its sister resort, Surfside Inn & Suites

🏄 Both of these resorts are crisp, clean, and beachy. The lobby at Surfside is a bit more colorful than Dockside if that’s what you are going for! The best part- both offer free bus transportation to the parks!

🏊 Dockside Inn & Suites has 2 pools, each with a bar, a quick service restaurant, a Starbucks, and a lobby bar. This was the perfect relaxing resort before a full day at Epic Universe!

✨Save this for your next trip to Universal!

Epic Universe photo dump 📸 🐉 Just a wee ph Epic Universe photo dump 📸 

🐉 Just a wee photo dump from my preview day at Epic a few weeks back. Although we got to explore the whole park, the focus on this day was mostly Isle of Berk! We met Toothless, rode Hiccup’s Wing Gliders coaster, and saw The Untrainable Dragon show. There were also plenty of vikings wandering around the land

🥩 Food featured here is Stoick’s Steak Bowl from Spit Fyre Grill and a mac and cheese cone from Hooligan’s Grog & Gruel

💫also had to include a couple magical photos from France!

✨Check out my page for reels and a story highlight for an in depth look at the day!!
Don’t skip Bar Moonshine at Universal’s Epic U Don’t skip Bar Moonshine at Universal’s Epic Universe 🍺 

🧙🏼‍♀️ This little bar is tucked in the back corner of the streets of France, and is decorated with state pennants of American Quidditch teams!! I was excited to find my home state of Connecticut 

🍷 What we drank:
Fleur 75- This is a gin based drink that I really enjoyed and would get again
Lobe Blaster- This one was not for me, but I know it’s been getting lots of good reviews!

🥂They also have a collection of mocktails! 

🇧🇷We even found a Brazilian flag in a window outside so all exchange wizards are welcome! 

✨Save for trip to Epic Universe!!!

My first time riding Harry Potter and the Battle a My first time riding Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry at Epic Universe!! 💨 

💚 The star of this ride is honestly the queue😍 Walking through the floo into the Ministry of Magic was amazing. As someone that gets motion sick sometimes with screen attractions, I was nervous about this one. However, I focused forward and was fine! I enjoyed it and look forward to riding again to see the story again

💫 I will say, some of the animatronics in here were amazing!!!

🩷We rode during previews where the virtual queue was still being used. Now, it is a standby line 

✨Share with your friends that need to ride this!

Overall, I did actually enjoy the ride once I made Overall, I did actually enjoy the ride once I made it through🫣

🖤 So real talk I am a BIG baby (you will not see me at HHN).. so I wasn’t sure what to expect here. However, the land was really cool! I was nervous it would be “scary,” but no, it was truly just what the name says, Dark!

🤍 The land does a great job with theming and telling the stories of the different characters. I definitely have to come back and explore here more someday!

🐺As for Monsters Unchained, yes I did watch with my eyes basically closed, but it was actually really cool! I think next time I ride I’ll be a bit braver🙈

🦇 Leo was a lot braver and enjoyed this attraction! 

💚Happy grand opening to Dark Universe and all of Epic Universe! 

✨Share with a friend who is a weenie like me🙈😂 They’ll want to see that they’ll still enjoy this land!
