islands of adventure

2 Adults, 10 yr old. Thinking of getting the 2 days 3 free park hopper unless there is a cheaper/better option? After a lot of back and forth (in my own mind) I've decided October last week would work. I really wanted some time during the 2 weeks in August to work but when I read descriptions...

Do you know if any of the hotels in Orlando International Drive will accept payments via Western Union bank transfers and will undercover tourist accept payment via Western Union bank transfers to purchase Universal 2 day's park to park tickets?

There are rumors spreading that Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls will permanently close because of hurricane and tropical storm damage. Will the ride be able to reopen?

An Introduction: “Welcome Foolish Mortals!” I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty impressed. It’s only taken me 2 weeks since being back home to start this trip report. That, my friends, is what we call self improvement. But also, don’t expect it to ever happen again. There’s only so much improving I...

Hello folks, I made a similar post on the Disney side but was hoping to get a weigh in on the Universal side too. It's my birthday on April 28 and I've been lucky enough (barring certain pandemic aspects up in Canada...) to be here in Florida the week of my birthday so I was hoping to plan a...

Hello! My husband and I are going to Universal in November. We haven’t been in years, but we do Disney about once a year. I am a big roller coaster wimp/have major ride anxiety. How is Hagrids Motorbike Adventure and/or Escape From Gringotts? My issue is big heights, big drops and big...

Hello I am planning a trip to Universal next week. The last time I went I was 270 and I did fit on Gringotts ( only second row) and Forbidden Journey. I did not fit on Rip it Rocket or The Hulk but was able to ride Mummy and most rides in the park but every ride was snug. I now way 230 but most...

I haven’t been to Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure in over 5 years. I don’t really remember much about the rides as we don’t go too often. I’m hoping to incorporate a day or two at Universal/Islands of Adventure on my next trip to Florida. What rides would you suggest that are not...

Hello, friends! My name is Shelbie and I recently returned home from a Universal/WDW vacation in July 2020. I went on this trip with my husband and our friends for a couples trip. Aside from my friend Keeley, the rest of us were Universal newbies. We booked this trip back in October 2019...

I am going to Universal and Islands of adventure next week and after seeing some post, I am panicking about not being able to ride the rides with my daughter! I can ride everything at Disney so I didn't even think about this being an issue. ( I am a single mom and this is her first trip).I am a...

Trying to find a solid answer - hoping someone here might know... If we purchase tickets to Universal from AAA in advance, does the AAA member need to be with us to enter the park, or do we need to just have the card? My uncle, who's ex-wife will be traveling with us, has given us his AAA card...

I like to consider myself somewhat of an expert when it comes to planning and navigating around Walt Disney World. However, I know next to nothing about Universal Studios. I have a short trip planned to visit US/IOA next summer. My friends, husband, and I wanted to take an adults-couples-trip to...

Join Craig, Ryno, Oliver, Steve, and Charles from the DIS Unplugged for lunch at one of the two sit-down restaurants located in Islands of Adventure, Confisco Grille. Watch and see what the group thought of their dining experience and if Confisco Grille is an adventure worth taking or one best...
