Hello, adventurers! Welcome back to Rays on the Run. We recently took an epic family trip to Universal Florida, and we can’t wait to share all the fun and excitement we experienced over our two-day adventure. Join us as we dive into the thrills, spills, and magic of Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure!
Day One: Universal Studios Florida
Our adventure began at Universal Studios, where the excitement was palpable from the moment we stepped through the gates. The kids were thrilled to explore the action-packed world of movies and entertainment. We kicked things off in the Minions area, where the kids couldn’t resist the fun rides and the delicious treats at the Minions bakery. Note to future visitors: one ginormous cupcake is more than enough for three kids!
While Justin and the boys, Wyatt and Wesley, braved the Transformers ride, Daisy and I took a leisurely walk through the park. We had a bit of an adventure ourselves when we boarded the Hogwarts Express, thinking it was just another ride. Imagine our surprise when we ended up outside the park! After a couple of hours, we were finally reunited with Justin and the boys, ready for more fun.
One of the highlights of our first day was seeing Wyatt face his fears and ride Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. Although he was a bit wary at first, he ended up loving it! Both boys enjoyed it so much that we used a baby swap pass so they could ride twice in a row.
Day Two: Islands of Adventure
Day two took us to Universal’s Islands of Adventure, where we found even more excitement waiting for us. From the high-flying adventures of Marvel Super Hero Island to the prehistoric wonders of Jurassic Park, there was no shortage of fun. Wesley, who is currently in a huge Jurassic Park phase, was particularly excited about the dinosaur-themed rides.
Despite the fact that it rained pretty much the entire day, we made the most of our time in the parks. The rain turned out to be a bit of a blessing in disguise, as it kept the lines shorter than usual. We packed our umbrellas and ponchos and powered through, squeezing in as many attractions as possible.
The boys both agreed that Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure was the highlight of the trip. All of the roller coasters were super fun and exciting, and the rain couldn’t dampen our spirits.
Memories to Treasure
Our two days at Universal Florida were nothing short of magical. From the excitement of the rides to the wonder of exploring Hogwarts, it’s an experience we’ll treasure forever. Traveling as a family, we created so many special memories, and it was heartwarming to see the joy and excitement on the kids’ faces.
