Creator's Key Takeaways

I am running on very little sleep, but today we are heading to the legacy parks of Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure very kindly with the press team.

We've had such a great time with the VIP tour guides, Grace and Joe. They were so fantastic and really looked after us.

I had the best day today. Honestly, the the team and the group have been so so wonderful.

I literally heard the music. I was just suddenly gone. That was brilliant. I I can't believe I cried in the ET one.

YouTube Video Description

ad/pr | Running on very little sleep after last night’s Halloween Horror Nights, today I join the Universal Orlando Resort press team for an incredible VIP tour of Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. From front-of-line access to the best attractions, a stunning lunch at Mythos, dinner at Antojitos, and even a backstage look at the parks, this was a pinch-me day. I also spend a more relaxed final day exploring on my own, from CityWalk dining and new Wicked merchandise to rooftop dining at Aventura and a full review of my stay. 🌎 Special thank to the Universal Orlando Resort team for having me along!

Highlights include Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, Jurassic World VelociCoaster, Revenge of the Mummy, and the classic ET Adventure. We also check out the new DreamWorks Land, the Horror Make-Up Show (which I’ve never seen before!), and spot Rip Ride Rockit being dismantled. Lunch is at Mythos, often voted the best theme park restaurant in the world, where I enjoy the Chicken Pad Thai and Citrus Baklava. Dinner later is at Antojitos, with guacamole, burritos and tacos making it a perfect end to the day. Along the way I share tips on Express Pass usage, hotel shortcuts, fun facts from our guides, and backstage access perks that come with Universal’s VIP tours. The following day is slower paced as I explore solo. I try the Big Apple Cheese sandwich at the Today Café, pick up Passholder freebies like an ET magnet and Niffler button, and shop the Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store with WWE Wyatt Sicks and Five Nights at Freddy’s merchandise. I watch the Universal Mega Movie Parade for the first time, before browsing the incredible Wicked exhibition and treating myself to a couple of the exclusive T-shirts. In the evening I grab a milkshake from Cabana Bay’s Shakes Malt Shop before heading up to Bar 17 Bistro at Aventura Hotel for Korean fried chicken with views over Orlando. I also share my full review of Aventura Hotel, covering its tech-driven rooms, amenities, pricing and overall value as a Prime Value resort. This Universal Orlando Resort trip has been absolutely fantastic and such a privilege, with heartfelt thanks to the Universal Orlando Resort press team for including me in the Halloween Horror Nights media event and today’s VIP tour.
