When I was 18 me and my sisters booked an Orlando holiday. We had never left our home town… we didn’t do any research. We just got on the plane, park tickets in the bag and turned up. Simpsons was our first ride and it blew our tiny little minds. I have been 7 more times since but nothing will compare to that first visit seeing every thing for the first time.

I visited Universal with my Daughter's family for her 40th birthday. I was 64. I'm not ashamed to say I cried. I absolutely couldn't believe I was there and what I was seeing. Everything was so perfect. Clean, nothing broken or not working. I loved it all. The rides are out of this world. I love a good rollercoaster. We stayed in a villa, not a hotel, but that was wonderful too. I'll be following this series Iwan. Reliving wonderful memories. Thank you. Just watched the whole thing. Looks like Universal made you as excited as I was. It's fantastic, isn't it?

Hey Iwan, glad you enjoyed Universal Studios. I went to the Japanese Universal in Osaka. It was the first to have a Harry Potter world. I visited with my sister and niece 2014. And my niece loved it. It was 38 degrees that day & we had traveled from Kyoto that morning. We were exhausted by the end of the day. You could go into the shops in Hogsmeade & buy fantastic wands & souvenirs. Wow that restaurant was very pricey.

We LOVED Universal Studios when we were there and having stayed in Disney resorts on previous visits, found that the Universal Studios resorts were every bit as nice and WAY cheaper. Plus loved the way everything was set up as far as their "downtown" area in connection with the parks. Hopefully we will get back there someday, right now a lot of Americans are rather annoyed with Florida at the moment and hesitant to travel there. Looks like you had an awesome trip!
