An Unforgettable Vacation

Upon entering Florida you will see signs that advertise Universal. The theme park is a blast with all kinds of rides and entertainment. We had recently visited Universal and Islands of Adventures this past summer and for the record it was a blast. At universal you will find a variety of things to do. There is a boardwalk, and then come the two theme parks.

When we went to Universal last summer my family and I had a blast. There were so many things to do there. When we entered universal, we had headed straight to the Hard Rock hotel. The hotel had to be one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. With the best hotel service and the cafe there was pretty awesome. The hotel is located right in the middle of both theme parks. The hotel is a little pricey but really worth it. The customer service there is great and so are the rooms. The rooms are really very nice especially the double beds. The Hard Rock Cafe located in the Hard Rock Hotel is very nice, with excellent food.

We then headed towards the boardwalk. If you're ever in the Orlando area the boardwalk is definitely a place to go. It has a variety of restaurants, and shopping, with live music shows and many more things. Even if you're on a low budget the Boardwalk is a free entry. The restaurants there are very nice from Chef Emeril's restaurant to small vendors selling hot dogs and dippin dots ice cream. There they have excellent shopping especially if you need to buy someone a souvenir. They also have live music concerts for the public to join. At the boardwalk you can also enjoy a boat ride. Its very entertaining, a great place to take your family or just to hang out with friends. Next we headed towards the theme park.

There are two theme parks there one of which is Universal and the other is Islands of Adventure. Both are about 65 dollars for entry and if you want a pass for both its about $120. Some people usually get the two day pass which is a good deal. In my opinion Islands of Adventures is better, but if your not a thrill ride kind a person its better to stick with Universal. An island of Adventures is really fun, with the hulk roller coaster and the Dueling dragons. The theme park is split into different sections, there is a section for Marvel, so if your into comics that's the place for you. Then there is a place for Dr. Seuss for little kids with Cat in The Hat shows about every hour or so. There also many more sections located in the park. Universal is a place where movies come to life such as The Mummy ride. They have all kinds of shows there such as fear factor and a pirate shows.A warning though that the lines for all the rides are huge especially on the weekends.

All in all the experience you will have when you go to Universal and Islands of Adventure will be something you will never forget. With all the rides, the hotel experience and the fun you will have at the Boardwalk. Whenever you come to visit Orlando make sure to stop by Universal or Islands of Adventure it's something you will definitely enjoy.
