So you have decided to pack up this year and go south to sunny central Florida for the holiday season and you expect something spectacular. With all of the theme parks competing for your business, it’s going to be pretty hard to choose which ones best for you and your family. This year I would have to give the Holiday Cheer award to Universal Studios Orlando. With all of their new additions, It’s a new face to an old industry! Universal Orlando Resort has heard the call of the people and has delivered in many ways. First and foremost are their resorts. Situated within walking distance of the world famous theme parks are four amazing locations. My favourite for the holidays is the Hard Rock Hotel. Decorated in it’s Rock n’ Roll holiday flair, this resort has it all! From 4 star dining to world class entertainment at their Velvet Sessions, the Hard Rock Resort is sure to fulfill your every expectation of a fun filled Universal Studios vacation!
Next would have to be the all New Cabana Bay Beach Resort. This flash back to the 1950’s A-1A era is probably the coolest resort in Orlando! Even if you don’t stay there it’s a fun stop in to see how Christmas was back in the days of Cool. Rockin around the Christmas has never been so fun and make sure to take time to roam this one of a kind resort that can only be found at Universal Studios. If you are a lover of the Pacific Rim vibe then the Royal Pacific Resort might be a destination for you. Have you ever wondered what Christmas would be like on an Island? Well this is your chance! With palm trees decorated with holiday lights and luau style buffets surrounded by hula dancers, the Royal Pacific resort is the next best thing to celebrating Christmas somewhere out in the Pacific. Last is Universal’s Portofino Bay.
If you are a lover of Christmas tradition the Italian way, then this is for you! Enjoy enchanted evenings of wine tastings, samplings of amazing foods, strolls to the sounds of holiday music and sights! The Portofino Bay Resort is truly a gem in the Universal Orlando Resort treasure box. One of the most beautiful at Christmas! All of these resorts are located on Universal Orlando Resort property and provides transportation to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.
Once you decide which holiday accommodations are best for your high standards, now is the next most important decision to made on your vacation and that is what type of ticket to buy! There are two Universal parks, three if you include Wet n’ Wild but I don’t think anyone is going to be swimming during the cold Florida Christmas. But the two parks Universal Orlando gas are two of the Best in Florida. I would imaging that if you are going to be here for the holidays, you are going to be her for more than a few days. There are two types of tickets they have to offer. Universal Base tickets and Universal Park to Park tickets. The big difference here is the Base ticket is just good the park you enter into at the start of the day. You go in and this is the park you stay in. Pretty simple. You can come and go all you want in that day, trying to enter another park is not going to happen. This is why I recommend the Universal Park to Park tickets. This ticket allows you to visit both parks in the same day and also allows you to ride the all New Hogwarts Express train that connects Diagon Alley to Hogsmeade in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Both parks put on holiday entertainment, so be sure to make time to experience what both parks have to offer. No one wants to miss the Grinch!
