YouTube Video Description

We spend a romantic Saturday at Universal Orlando and Trader Joe's where I ALMOST bought Maxine a Valentines present.... so close. First, we head into Islands of Adventure and have lunch at Croissant Moon, once of the best value places to eat in that park. The we head to the Aztec area of the park to return something Maxine bought last week and to get myself a hoodie I saw on our last trip. We then catch the Hogwarts Express to Universal Studios and say a quick hello to Murph at Chez Alcatraz. Our final stop in the park is the Today Cafe for a delicious coffee and a cake. Then we take you around Trader Joe’s, a west coast food chain that has some unique food at unique prices. We only call in here once about every 3 months for some special treats. #universalorlando #islandsofadventure #hogwartsexpress #chexalcatraz #todaycafe #traderjoes #themeparkbazzer #vlogger #universalstudios 00:00.
