Creator's Key Takeaways
Universal's holiday events? Included with your regular park ticket. We spent a full day at both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure to show you everything the holidays have to offer
I'm a big fan of Earl the squirrel now cuz he is just too damn cool and cute
the frogs are massive solid pieces of chocolate and um not very delicious so they're disgusting do not recommend
the projections on the castle were so beautiful they do it every 25 minutes from dusk until close and tonight the park closes at 10: p.m.
