Our advisor Veronica - Never Look Back Vacations recently took a girls trip to Universal Orlando Resort & she’s here today to chat about her awesome experience! ⤵️
“A girl's trip to Universal Orlando Resort is always a great idea. This past month, my friend & I traveled for her FIRST visit to Universal Orlando where we rode all the rides, ate all the food & watched all the entertainment (including the limited time Mardi Gras parade).
Starting with a stay at Loews Portofino Bay Resort, we utilized two days of complimentary Unlimited Express Pass by staying at this Signature Resort — this meant no stress, no long lines & enjoying all the rides multiple times.
PLUS - with Portofino Bay’s prime location, designated walking path to the parks, and Early Theme Park Entry benefit, we "rope-dropped" Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure and were on and off in just about 35 minutes. Early Theme Park Entry is a MASSIVE perk for guests staying at Universal Orlando Resort Hotels.
The rest of the days with Express Pass were a breeze! We rode all participating attractions with practically no wait. I can't stress enough how much you can accomplish with Universal's Express Pass system!
Our next stop was to the BRAND NEW Universal Stella Nova Resort (a Prime Value hotel located in the heart of the new Epic Universe). This resort is part of the future of Universal Orlando. Stella Nova will offer a designated walking path to Epic Universe with a budget-friendly price tag. The modern amenities & spacious room were perfect for our quick one night stay.
Pro Tip: A split stay like this is a game-changer. Start at a Signature Resort to maximize Express Pass benefits, then switch to one of the many Prime Value resorts for an affordable, yet immersive, experience. Spend your park days without the Express Pass watching the many shows throughout both parks, browsing City Walk, or visiting Volcano Bay Water Park!
A trip to Universal Orlando Resort is great for everyone, and especially as we countdown to Epic Universe opening May 22, 2025!”
