TIP: While you could BUY Universal Express Pass to skip the regular lines, why pay for it? When you stay at a Universal Premier Hotel (Hard Rock,
Portofino Bay or Royal Pacific) not only do you get the Express Pass added to your ticket as a FREE PERK, you get the UNLIMITED Express Pass! That means you can skip to the front of the line as often as you want!

If you have Universal Orlando on the radar for your next vacation, give me a shout, I would love to help make your time there count!

🍔🥤🍦🎶Make sure to park yourself at Mel's Drive-In for a taste of classic Americana with a side of nostalgia when you're at Universal Studios.

Here, you’ll step back in time to the 1950s and enjoy a classic American diner experience. It kind of feels like you’re in a scene from the old TV show “Happy Days”!

From burgers to crispy onion rings and thick milkshakes, Mel's offers a menu filled with our favorite comfort foods. It’s pretty ideal and a safe bet for the whole family.

Mel's Drive-In is as much a solid dining choice as it is a trip down memory lane with its retro decor, neon lights, and vintage cars parked outside. While we wait for Mel to start serving again, let's chat! Have you been to Mel’s? What did you think?

PRO TIP: Mobile order ahead, roll in, grab your food and then slide into your booth. Even the Fonz didn’t make ordering look THAT cool!👍😎

If your inner 80's kid heart broke when the Back to the Future attraction ran "OUTATIME" and closed back in 2007, here's some good news!

There is SO MUCH merch for this iconic film (and so many others) available at Universal Orlando Resort. Candles, magnets, t-shirts, mugs, Loungefly bags...you name it!

Which of these souvenirs would "McFly" off the shelf and into your hands?

If you love resort activities, this might be one that you didn’t even know existed: Kukui Nut Leis at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. This is a paid activity where you choose from a variety of colored beads to create a custom lei. The tool to help place the beads can be a little tricky for little fingers, so plan to have some extra helping hands around especially if you have multiple kiddos.

What do you think? Would you shell out your souvenir money for something unique like this or are you all about the thrill of spending in the Disney gift shops?

This just looks like a really cool table right? But, It's a BED! Say whaaaat...😮
The Family Suites at the Art of Animation Resort, sleep 6, and have three separate sleeping areas, including this double-sized Murphy Bed. Just move the chairs and pull down. Voila! And, you will also find a hidden character inside!

As if that wasn't enough...it also has 2 BATHROOMS! AND direct access to the Disney SKYLINER! The Art of Animation Resort offers family suites in the Finding Nemo, Lion King and Cars themed sections; while the Little Mermaid section only offers standard rooms.

This Value resort is my family's favorite! Want to know more, I'm here to help!

TIP: If you need a break from the Universal Islands of Adventure crowds (and a good, semi-private bathroom to boot) head into the Jurassic Park Discovery Center. There's food, gifts and hands-on experiences; it's like a museum in a theme park! I don't want to spoil anything, but among all the gems found here, you can catch a dinosaur egg hatching! 😲

🍦 I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!

If you LOVE ice cream as much as my hubby does, then you are always looking for your next dairy fix, no matter where you are! If you happen to be in Hollywood Studios... 'Hollywood Scoops' can satisfy your sweet tooth craving!

Hollywood Scoops has been a Sunset Boulevard staple since 1994. It's the perfect spot to grab a treat after braving Tower of Terror or Rock 'n Roller Coaster. Or, even to grab a snack before heading to watch the Beauty and the Beast or Fantasmic shows!

Do you prefer your ice cream in a 🍨 cup or a 🍦 cone?

There's no wrong way to eat on a Disney Cruise Line vacation...except maybe "eating light". Whether you're ordering room service, having snacks by the pool or sitting down for a multicourse dinner, it is all included. After a day on Castaway Cay would you rather order room service or have a proper dinner in one of the three rotational dining rooms?

🦁 The Animal Kingdom Lodge exudes luxury, style and brilliant Imagineering. From the zero-entry pool, to the savanna views, animal encounters and everything in between, a stay here should be on everyone's bucket list.

There are also 2 sections at AKL... the Jambo House and Kidani Village. I have personally stayed on the Kidani side, and absolutely LOVED it. Let's chat about which one is right for you and your animal-loving family!

Christina Edgington, Affiliate of Academy Travel & Mickey Vacations

My FAVORITE thing to do is plan a trip to Disney World. My daughter’s call it an obsession, I prefer the term hobby! 😜 Either way, I decided to live my own form of the 'Disney Dream', by working as a travel planner, specializing in Disney destinations and Universal Orlando.

I love ALL things Disney! And Walt Disney World truly is my “Happy Place” ! I just love all aspects of the Disney Magic, whether at home or in the parks. From my favorite classic rides, and shows, to just strolling the parks experiencing the ambience of it all, and taking photos. I also love Resort hopping, surrey bike rides, mini-golf, and finding the biggest and best cupcake! Alice in Wonderland is my favorite cartoon, and Cheshire Cat my favorite character...after Mickey of course! I am also a collector of Disney at home, including, movies, pins, magnets, hats, ear bands, mugs, games, seasonal décor, etc....the list continues to grow!

My goal as a travel planner, is to share my love for Disney with others, by helping to create the most MAGICAL vacation, with memories that will last a lifetime!!
