A Mardi Monday Morning At Universal
Hagrid’s Magical Creatures queue walkthrough
A new Harry Potter attraction is set to open at Islands of Adventure on June 13th! I was very lucky to get a preview to Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure at a media event! Here’s video from the queue. Warning, it might make you miss Dueling Dragons!
Unusual Snack From Universal
Some folks like to eat at fancy restaurants when they’re at theme parks. Others are ok with burgers from a counter service place. Pretzels, popcorn and churros are also yummy. But what if you wanted to try something a little outside your comfort zone? Well, Universal has you covered! In […]
Women’s Day!
Happy National Women’s Day! Today is a day where we honor and celebrate the women in our community. I mean, that really should be everyday, but I digress. Here are a couple videos featuring some of my favorite Universal women! Granted, those Lollipop Girls from Easter Island aren’t around anymore, […]
Full steam ahead to Mardi Gras!
Yesterday was the last day to experience the holiday (Christmas) events at the Universal Orlando Resort. In less than a month’s time, they will begin their annual Mardi Gras celebration. With just a brief stop at the Harry Potter Celebration between now and then, Mardi Gras kicks off on February […]
The Whos of Whoville: Then and Now
The Whos of Whoville are kind of like the scareactors of Grinchmas. They’re seasonal characters that have cool makeup, wear cool clothes, and wander the streets of Seuss Landing (in between shows) interacting with guests and getting into mischief. The first video is from 2009. You can really see the […]
Harry Potter Christmas Wonderment!
Usually the end of HHN bums me out for months. I sink into a dark hole of Sadistic Wonderment withdrawal that consumes me until after Mardi Gras comes along. Well, this year was a little different. Universal changed up their holiday offerings and introduced all new experiences and freshened up […]
Christmas arrives in Hogsmeade!
Since Halloween was yesterday, it’s ok to start talking about the Christmas season now…right? Technically there’s still two more nights of Halloween Horror Nights, but Universal has already fully dressed Seuss Landing and decorations have started popping up in Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure! This will be the first year […]
Citywalk Update
Walking through Citywalk yesterday, I realized there was a lot going on but a lot going on quietly. Hurricane Irma claimed most of the Toothsome banner and Bubba Gump signage you see when you first enter Citywalk. Both of them are still missing with the Toothsome banner being removed completely. […]
Artdrop Day 2017 at Universal
Artdrop Day is on the first Tuesday in September. It’s where artists will hide their work in hopes someone else finds it! For the second year in a row, I celebrated at the Universal Orlando Resort. I apologize for being a little late uploading this video. With HHN prep and […]
