Holiday Who-be What-ee?!🎄🎢🎅🏼

At Universal Orlando- the streets will fill with Christmas cheer during the holiday season! No really! Experience holiday favorites like:
🥁Universal’s Holiday Parade with giant balloons featuring Macy’s
🎄Universal’s Holiday Tour
⚡️ Christmas in The Wizarding World
💚”Grinchmas” Who-liday Spectacular
….and even an opportunity to have 🍽️ breakfast 🧇 with the one and only Grinch (and his friends of course)- there is something even the greenest will love (no loathing here!).🎄

So am I right when I say- the top two questions you’ve been asking yourself are:
1. Why haven’t I already booked my Universal Orlando Christmas vacation with Laura? (You can’t cancel on yourself again!)
2. But what will I wear?! (whatever you wear- I guarantee you’ll be FABULOUS!)

Worried that planning a last minute theme park vacation would be overwhelming? Wrong-o! That’s where I come in!🎉 I will who-heartedly be there for you all along the way!
Where are you Christmas lovin’ families- I want to find you!!🎶
