Universal Studios changes

Greetings ~

Some changes happening over at Universal Studios Orlando this week! Let’s take a peek at what’s happening.

Ticket pricing is changing effective today - Universal is now working with date based ticket pricing. Something that the mouse down the road has been doing for a few years. So what does it mean? Looking around on their site a weekday in September is going to run you about 164.00 plus tax for a park to park adult ticket, while going over a holiday in December will run you closer to 194 plus tax a person. So friends your cost is all going to depend on when you travel!

The other big news is Universal Orlando is closing some of its resorts effective Aug. 21st. Those resorts are

Loews Sapphire Falls

Aventura will also close

These 2 resorts join Portofino Bay and Endless Summer Resort Dockside Inn and Suites. Re-opening dates will be listed at a future date.

So there you have it! The latest and maybe not so greatest information on the happenings @ Universal Orlando! Important info to know for sure.

Universal Resort Hotel Review

Endless Summer Resort Surfside Inn and Suites (Universal Studios Orlando) - Review

Greetings ~

Over the summer our family stayed at the newly opened Endless Summer Resort Surfside Inn and Suites in Orlando. Universal Studios newest resort to hit the scene. Touted as large family and budget friendly it truly got the attention of this family!! The resort itself is actually located off of International Drive which is just a quick drive over to the Universal Resort. They do also offer shuttles to their theme parks as well as City Walk. Now let’s get down to business.

The rooms do truly accommodate families of 6 and allow for breathing room. The picnic table with the kitchenette area is a great place for a quick breakfast in the room or a late night pizza snack! The shower and toilet is set apart from the sink and mirror which for a family is FABULOUS!!! The beds are comfortable and under bed storage for suitcases.

A Starbucks in the lobby and a great quick service restaurant make it a perfect spot to lay ones head after a busy day making magic or riding the movies!! Want to know more? Please feel free to reach out to me I would love to help plan your next trip!!

P.S. The sister resort Dockside Inn and Suites to Surfside Inn and Suites is opening soon right across the street.
