It was due to COVID. I asked. And, it's at ALL Universal property hotels currently. Not a single hot tub available at any of the hotels there. Disney and other Orlando resorts do have hot tubs open though. When I asked, the lifeguard manager on duty said it was because they didn't have enough employ...

They didn't offer virtual line the entire time we were there for Hagrids. We went there RIGHT AWAY on 3 separate mornings, we "took advantage" of the extra hour in the morning and realized that the line was extremely long right away so we did a bunch of other rides. We rode it EVERY DAY an...

:evil: two weeks ago just before booking our last minute trip, my husband made it very clear. He didn't want to even consider going if hot tubs weren't available. We've always enjoyed soaking in the hot tub after walking through the parks for hours. It's not vacation for us without it! So, before I ...

Don't run to do Hagrids motor bike right away in the morning. It has the longest lines for the first 2 hours. After the "mad rush" is over...we waited 15 minutes. The wait SAID 50. After we got off, cast members gave us their secret. Never go there right away. It's ALWAYS the longest wait ...

I LOVE all of that information, because we like to know 'the best of the best' when it comes to planning for our Disney vacations...and we lik...

Our top two are Sapphire and Royal Pacific. the setting of Sapphire is 'laid back Caribbean beach resort'. The Room size feel at Sapphire, Royal Pacific and Portofino are all pretty much the same for the standard room. I like the theming at Sapphire because the colors, artwork and design is really a...

My family LOVES all things Disney. But, when we go to Disney, we are CONSTANTLY Going, Going, Going. It is busy from the second we get out of bed early in the morning until late every night. We take advantage of every second, every minute, every day. It is a very amazing vacation, but EXHAUSTING. We...

Depending on how long you plan to stay, there are different pieces of advise I could offer. We love Disney AND Universal!!! Four years ago, we learned some very good lessons on how to book a wonderful vacation and get a lot of great deals in the process. If you've ever booked a full Disney World vac...

Both of the restaurants are quick service meals and they do not offer reservations. They do have a feature on the ap where you can place your order before you arrive. It's calle "mobile Food & Drink ordering". If you have a smartphone, the Universal ap is a great one to download to loo...
