Although fall hasn't quite arrived here in Georgia, school is back in session and we're already feeling the heat of over a hundred degrees. It's the perfect time to start thinking about winter break trips! In fact, many people have already taken advantage of early discounts and secured their trips to popular destinations like Disney and Universal for Fall break. Winter break trips are going fast, with resorts still trying to make up for lost revenue due to the pandemic. While there are still some affordable options, hidden costs can quickly add up and take away from your vacation experience.

Today we have the honor of a beautiful guest blogger! While she is not technically family, I almost feel like she is! It seems like only yesterday Her Mom and Dad were anxiously planning her arrival! Can it really be almost 12 years ago? She and her grandparents gave me the honor of planning their first trip to Universal this past June. Below is her short, sweet, and practically unedited review of her trip. Enjoy!
Stay Premium!Discover the magic of 'staying premium!'
Now, before you skip ahead, let's dive into an aspect of your Universal Orlando trip that could save you a pretty penny. Believe it or not, staying premium can save a family of four upwards of $400 on a four-day vacation! Intrigued? Let's explore how. Don't Forget the Butterbeer Ice Cream!Wonderful, Delicious, Refreshing Butterbeer! What is your favorite? The first time I visited The Wizarding World I tried the Frozen variety. While it was refreshing, it wasn’t as frozen as I thought it would be. I was expecting more of a slushy consistency, and it was more of a slightly melted slushy consistency. In all honesty, that could have been due to the fact that it was in excess of 90 degrees out, and my husband had walked a long way to find where he had ‘left’ us. But I wasn’t impressed.
Don't try to do it All in One Day!Ever thought you could do Universal Orlando in a single day? Well, we did too. Back in 2016, we gave it a shot. Came in the morning, dashed through the park, and left at night, feeling pretty smug -- like we’d done it all, seen it all. Boy, were we off the mark! Have Souvenirs Sent to Resort!Here is another one of my favorites! I love to shop! I hate to carry around bags in a theme park! Lugging around purchases is not my idea of fun. And what are you supposed to do with them when you ride? You could always rent a locker, but that could get expensive, especially if you shop like me. (ahem). Plus, with two parks, you’d have to get a locker in each park (or at least I would.)
Comfortable Shoes!The magic of Universal Orlando stretches beyond the thrill of the rides and the allure of wizarding worlds. As you forge unforgettable memories, remember, your journey involves quite a bit of walking. That’s right, traversing Universal's 541 acres requires dedication, stamina, and most importantly, comfortable shoes.
Have a Plan & Prioritize!Hey, explorers! Today we're going to share the key to unlocking a stress-free, extra-special vacation. The golden ticket is this: have a plan, but keep it fun!
Be Like Harry Potter!I've been told that to really explore the Wizardind World of Harry Potter is to explore it as Harry did in the First Book. So let's give it a try, shall we?
Child Swap!Welcome back, my fellow explorers. I’ve been really looking forward to sharing today's useful tidbit with you. Have you ever thought about bringing your little ones to a gigantic theme park and wondered, "Will they enjoy it as much as I will?" At Universal Orlando, they've got you covered with a feature called the Child Swap.
