Universal Orlando Parks/Vacation Tips



Since I did a post Disney tips, I decided to do a Universal addition. I’ll try not to repeat things I mentioned on my last post.

  1. Definitely get your universal tickets online they are cheaper that way. 
  2. If you say at a Universal hotel you are able to enter the Wizarding World of Harry Potter an hour earlier. 
  3. If you are going during the busy months purchasing a Universal Express Pass might be worth consideration. If you are going during the slower time (ex. early November) you shouldn’t need the passes. In my experience most lines are at a bearable wait time. 
  4. If you are alone, or your party is okay with splitting up, most rides at Universal theme parks have a single rider line. These lines typically go much faster and allow single riders to be placed with odd numbered parties on rides. 
  5. If you have paid to park at Universal, your parking pass lasts all day. You can leave and return as long as you have your pass. Universal City Walk has restaurants, shops, clubs, a movie theater, and even mini golf. So you can use your parking pass to return later in the evening and take advantage of the things on City Walk. 
  6. Universal also has Halloween Horror Nights in the fall. This is a separate ticketed event that is after closing time at Universal Studios. Many people go every year to experience the event. 
  7. If there is something you find that you absolutely want to buy but you don’t know how you can get it home or if you don’t have the money at the time you can order it online off of the Universal website (same goes for Disney) and have it shipped to your house. 
  8. Universal also has their own app that I suggest downloading. You can shop, find maps, and see wait times within the park. They also have a place where you can keep track of where you parked, which can come in handy in such a big place.
I will also probably add to this list as times goes on but for now I hope they both help.

NHS Induction Ceremony

     Tonight was my school’s induction ceremony for NHS. Twenty-three of us got accepted. For one night we got to be honored in front of our friends and families. I got to walk up on stage and accept my certificate with twenty-two of my classmates. It was nice to get acknowledged for our hard work. Also this will help us all with college which is awesome. I’m excited to keep moving.

Walkout Day!

     Today is National School Walkout Day! Students across the country  walked out of their classes at 10:00 A.M. to protest in whatever way they chose. I, as well as two other students, organized and planned our schools walkout. We got the permission of our school administrators to assure that no students that wanted to participate would get in trouble for leaving class. This also allowed us to have teachers and a couple of police officers watch over the protest. Our walkout met in the school’s auditorium. For our demonstration we created a slideshow of all 17 victims of the Parkland school shooting; giving one minute for each student.  I was honestly amazed that so many students participated and stayed quiet and respectful for all 17 minutes of the presentation. Many of today’s protests were focused on gun control, but that was not our goal. Our goal was to honor the victims of Parkland and to bring attention to the safety of our schools. I strongly believe th...

Fishing

      I’ve liked fishing since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a lot of fun going out with my family and spending time at the lake. However, my family stopped going when I was still young. I still like to fish, but I didn’t really have anyone to take me. Today my boyfriend bought me a fishing license and took me fishing with his family. I had a lot of fun. Fishing is one of his favorite things so it was nice to be able to go with him. I’m hoping that since he got me a license we will be able to go more often over the summer. I think it’ll be a good chance for us to do something together that he really enjoys.
