I don’t think people talk about this park enough…
Universal gets a reputation for being all thrill rides and go-go-go, but honestly? There’s a whole other side to it.
It can actually feel more chill.
Compared to some other theme park vacations, Universal can be SO much easier to navigate. The parks are close together, you can walk between Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, and with the right plan, you don’t have to feel like you’re running from one thing to the next all day.
It makes SUCH a fun girls trip.
Great food, fun resorts, CityWalk, Butterbeer, thrill rides, and plenty of places to sit and laugh until your stomach hurts. 😂 Universal isn’t just a “take the kids” vacation.
It’s SO good for families with older kids.
If your kids are starting to outgrow the little-kid rides but you still love taking family vacations together, Universal hits that sweet spot. Bigger rides, Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, Epic Universe… there’s so much that teens and older kids actually WANT to do with you.
Universal might not be the first vacation that comes to mind, but depending on your family, it might just be one of the BEST.
And if you want to do Universal without making it complicated, that’s kinda my thing.
I’ll help you figure out where to stay, what tickets you actually need, and how to make the whole trip feel simple and stress free.
