 To
give you a taste of what's on offer here at the park, we've put together our own personal
views, tips and links, along with current up-to-date information via our RSS feed.
So...put the kettle on, make yourself a coffee or tea, even better pour a glass of
wine, sit down make yourself comfy and join us on our adventures to Universal Studios.
Entering Universal:
 First,
you will pass through CityWalk, very quiet in the
mornings. Wait until you leave and see how it comes to life with music, lights and that
party feeling 'We love it'.
Turn right once you reach the lake and cross the bridge to the main entrance passing the
world famous Universal sign. Make sure you have your cameras and video cameras at the ready,
a great spot for those family photo's.
Remember to pick up your park map on the way in, but to give you
a start here's a helpful map to help you through this page (print and
take it with you). As you can see from your map, you will notice Universal Studios is
broken up into six main areas to explore, just click on any blue

height restrictions, hints and tips for all the family before you arrive in Orlando.

We've added our own personal thoughts and views, here's our guide on
how we approach Universal Studios during our visits. Dining in the park:
 Well
after all this excitement, some time during the day your batteries will need re-charging
with food and drink.
As with the Disney theme parks, there are always stacks of diners and restaurants
available at Universal to suit all budgets.
So, what we've done is found this helpful website which guides you through them
all, here's Grandma at Mels-Drive-In wishing she was back in the Fifties...
Have Fun!
Useful guide to pre-plan and budget before you start your holiday or vacation to
Orlando and Universal Studios.
Final Thoughts:
We've been travelling from the UK to Orlando since 1997, and with the introduction of
Universals Island of Adventure and CityWalk in recent times, we believe Universal Studios is up there with the best of what the Disney theme parks have to offer. So, if your budget allows, visit Universal Orlando and see for yourself what these fantastic theme parks have to offer.
