Our Universal Guide To The Studios
Join Us And Ride the Movies Here In Orlando!
 Discover
Universal Studios with our own personal Universal guide, see how we've explored
the park over the years.
Because of the children's different ages in the early days, we use too split into two
groups, 'Two way radios can be helpful here'.
This was down to James our youngest, not being able to go onto the big rides due to
age and height restrictions etc.
Here's our Universal Guide:
If your children are very young head towards Woody Woodpeckers
Kidzone this becomes extremely busy in the high season . Pop in to
meet Barney & Friends, and enjoy this timeless children's
show. The kids will love Fievel's Playland
and Curious George Goes To Town and don't forget
Animal Actors on Location the animals are fantastic. Times for
the shows will be displayed on your Universal guide park map.
Keep your camera close by as you will bump into a few characters
along the way. As you can see from the photo below, James is a lot older here, but my darling
wife Denise insisted on the Scooby Doo picture...he wanted to go on the 'Men in Black
ride'...something not right there?
Ages 5 - 10:
 We
would recommend on our Universal guide you visit Shrek 4D first
as this does get extremely busy...this is a brilliant show, and with the 4D effects you
will want to go back for more. Then, if they are up for a bit of wind around the ankles
and neck, hop over to Twister (this can be scary for some
children so be careful).
Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast and ex Nickelodeon Studios now The
Blue Man Group are a must visit.
Universal Guide Age 10 Upwards:
For the 10's upwards, if height restrictions are not a problem just go for it, here's
our battle plan;
Shrek-4D Twister Revenge of the Mummy M.I.B-Alien Attack Doh! The Simpsons Ride Holywood Rip Ride Rocket E.T. Disaster
Don't forget the other attractions...we class them as sit down shows i.e.
Terminator 2 3D, 'Fear Factor Live (not for the squeamish) these two
alone can become very busy in the high season.
Beetlejuice and The Blues Brothers, make great toe tapping sing-a-long
venues, times displayed on your park map. Universal Horror Make up Show is fun,
again some young children may be scared, and for the nostalgic members in your group The
Lucy Ball Tribute show, the much loved American comedian from the 50's and 60's.
Apart from our Universal guide what we find useful are the public discussion
forums, where people who are going, or just been to Orlando can keep you up to date
with what's happening in or around the theme parks at Disney or Universal Studios. Here's a
few forums that you may find helpful, pick a number and click away, we'll still be here on
your return 1, 2, 3.
Oh nearly forgot, remember the Firework Displays in the evening
over the lake...Fantastic...closing times change throughout the yearDon't forget we have many pages for you to explore on our family website, just click
on the links below to find what you're looking for in Orlando...Florida's Sunshine
State.
