Welcome to my Blog!

My name is Rachel - I decided to write this blog after going to Universal Studios Orlando twice (!) in late 2016. I had read quite a few blog posts, stalked out some instragram accounts, visited and revisited the official Universal Studios websites. Right before our first trip, we watched all of the Harry Potter movies (my boyfriend had never seen them all!), Jurassic Park, ET, and Kong. We were pumped up to say the least!

After our first trip, I rolled around the idea of doing a couple blog posts with some tricks that played out to be accurate, the "tips" that turned out to be totally wrong or outdated, and our general impression of Universal Studios Orlando.... Then we found really good flights and went back a month later! Then we figured out some other things. And then I had a couple friends from work go and I realized just how much advice I had to give! So here is my blog from when a couple Missourians went to Universal. Twice.

(PS - it's pretty dang hard to get a good selfie in front of the Universal globe.)

A couple of things to note about my experience - when we went, it was just me and my boyfriend. We did not travel with kids or a big group. I imagine that traveling with a different group would change a lot. Y'all have to factor in things like tired little feet, nap times, dietary restrictions, people in the group having different priorities, etc. Luckily, the BF and I had the same end goal: do as much as we could without fainting or throwing up. Anyway, I hope this blog helps you out a little bit - maybe even a lot!
