Universal Vacation Specialist

Universal vacation planning has evolved far beyond a few theme park days. Whether you're looking for the excitement of Universal Orlando Resort, the movie magic of Universal Studios Hollywood, or a theme park designed specifically with younger children in mind, there is a Universal vacation for many different types of travelers.


As a Universal Vacation Specialist, I help families plan Universal vacations that fit their interests, ages, travel style and budget. From choosing the right destination and resort to navigating tickets, park days and the details that matter most to your family, I'll help you feel prepared from the time you start planning until you return home.

Whether you're traveling with thrill-seeking teenagers, little ones who love their favorite characters, or a multigenerational group with different ideas of what makes a great vacation, I'll help you find the Universal experience that's right for you.

Universal Orlando Resort

Universal Orlando Resort offers multiple theme parks, including Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, Universal Volcano Bay and Universal Epic Universe. Epic Universe is now open and features five immersive worlds. 

With so much to experience, planning your Universal Orlando vacation starts with figuring out what your family actually wants from the trip.


I'll help you navigate:

  • Which Universal Orlando parks make sense for your trip
  • How many days you should plan
  • Choosing the right Universal Orlando Resort hotel
  • Ticket options
  • Express Pass considerations
  • Early Park Admission
  • Dining
  • Character experiences
  • Harry Potter experiences
  • Transportation and getting around the resort
  • Building an itinerary that works for your family
  • Combining Universal with Walt Disney World
  • Planning for different ages and interests


Why Stay at a Universal Orlando Resort Hotel?

Where you stay can make a significant difference in your Universal vacation experience.

I'll help you compare Universal Orlando's resort hotels based on location, amenities, room options, transportation, included benefits and your family's priorities.

Rather than simply choosing the hotel with the lowest price, we'll look at the overall vacation experience and determine which option makes the most sense for you.


Universal Epic Universe

Universal Epic Universe adds another major dimension to a Universal Orlando vacation, with five immersive worlds within the new theme park. Celestial Park, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, Dark Universe, Ministry of Magic and Isle of Berk are all wildly popular and require a little extra planning.

If Epic Universe is on your family's must-do list, I'll help you determine how it fits into your overall Universal Orlando itinerary and how much time you'll want to allow for the new park.

Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios Hollywood combines theme park attractions with the behind-the-scenes magic of the movies.

From the Studio Tour to immersive lands and attractions, a Universal Studios Hollywood vacation offers a very different experience from Universal Orlando.

SUPER NINTENDO WORLD is one of the park's major immersive experiences, while The Wizarding World of Harry Potter gives guests another opportunity to step into a beloved story.

 

I'll help you plan the details, including:

  • How many days you need
  • Ticket options
  • Universal Express
  • SUPER NINTENDO WORLD
  • The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
  • Studio Tour
  • Park touring strategy
  • Where to stay
  • Combining Universal Studios Hollywood with other Los Angeles experiences
  • Planning a California vacation around your Universal visit


Is Universal Studios Hollywood Right for Your Family?

Universal Studios Hollywood can be a great choice for families who want to combine theme park fun with a larger Southern California vacation.

If you're considering Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood, I'll help you look at the logistics and determine how the destinations can work together.

Universal Kids Resort

Universal Kids Resort is a brand-new Universal destination in Frisco, Texas, designed specifically for families with young children. This is a particularly exciting option for families with younger children who may not be ready for the bigger thrills and scale of traditional theme parks.


Universal Kids Resort features seven themed lands inspired by beloved characters and stories, including Shrek, Jurassic World, SpongeBob SquarePants, Minions, Trolls, Puss in Boots and Gabby's Dollhouse. 


The resort also includes the Universal Kids Resort Hotel, located at the entrance to the park, with family-friendly rooms and suites. 


Why Universal Kids Resort May Be a Great Fit for Your Family

Universal Kids Resort was created specifically with younger children in mind, making it a very different Universal experience from Orlando or Hollywood.

I'll help you navigate:

  • Whether Universal Kids Resort is a good fit for your children's ages
  • How many days to spend at the park
  • Ticket options
  • The Universal Kids Resort Hotel
  • Family-friendly accommodations
  • Dining
  • Character experiences
  • Planning around nap and downtime
  • What to expect with younger children
  • Combining Universal Kids Resort with other Texas experiences


Universal Kids Resort offers a very different experience from Universal Orlando and Universal Studios Hollywood. If you're traveling with younger children, I'll help you determine whether this resort makes sense for your family, how long to stay and how to build a trip around your children's ages, interests and routines.
