🎃 TOMORROW I’M BACK AT HHN! 👻

And I am SO excited!! 😱🖤

I’m especially looking forward to experiencing the Stranger Things house! 🎸👀 As a huge fan, I already know I’m going to be completely obsessed.

But this trip is extra special because it’s my husband’s FIRST time at Halloween Horror Nights! 🎃

I’ve been before, so I have a pretty good idea of what he’s getting himself into… but I want to hear from YOU! 😂

👇 What advice do you have for a first-timer at HHN?

What do you wish someone had told you before your first night? What’s something he absolutely NEEDS to know?

💜💛 Which Minion drink would you choose?! 💛💜

If you’re exploring Minion Land at Universal Studios Florida, you HAVE to check out the specialty drinks at Illumination’s Minion Café! 👀🍌

💛 The Antidote — packed with banana flavor and topped with a Minion-colored topping and graham cracker crumbles. It’s designed to taste like a banana cream pie!

💜 PX-41 Punch — a bright and fruity lemonade with strawberry and kiwi flavors, topped with an Evil Minion-colored topping and Blue Raspberry Pop Rocks for a fun little pop! 💥

And of course, they come in the cutest Minion-themed presentation! 💛💜

Would you go for The Antidote 💛 or PX-41 Punch 💜?

🌴💦 RESORT SPOTLIGHT: SAPPHIRE FALLS RESORT 💦🌴

Looking for a Universal Orlando resort that feels like a tropical escape? 🌺

Universal’s Loews Sapphire Falls Resort brings a laid-back Caribbean vibe to your Universal vacation—with beautiful landscaping, a gorgeous lagoon-style pool, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down after a busy park day.

🌴 Caribbean-inspired atmosphere
🏊‍♀️ Large lagoon-style pool with waterslide
🚤 Water taxi transportation to Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure
🍽️ Multiple dining options
💦 Beautiful waterfalls and tropical landscaping
🏨 Full-service resort experience

One of the standout features is the water taxi! 🚤 There’s something pretty fun about hopping on a boat to get to the parks instead of getting on a bus.

Sapphire Falls is also a great option for travelers who want more of a resort feel without stepping all the way up to Universal’s most expensive Signature resorts.

💡 Travel tip: Your resort doesn’t have to be just a place to sleep! If you enjoy relaxing at the pool, enjoying a nice meal, or taking a break from the parks, choosing a resort with amenities you’ll actually use can make a BIG difference.

✨ REASON #847 TO PARTNER WITH A Travel Advisor:
Save yourself the time & stress!

Because planning a vacation can feel like a full-time job. 😅

Between researching resorts, comparing prices, figuring out transportation, choosing activities, making dining reservations, and trying to understand all the little details… it adds up FAST.

A travel advisor can help take that research and planning off your plate so you can spend less time stressing over the details and more time getting excited about your trip! 🌴☀️

Your vacation should feel like a vacation before you even leave home. ❤️

Aventura Hotel is such a techy resort! 🤖📱

The tablet in your room controls more than just the TV—it also lets you adjust the lights and thermostat right from your bedside! 🙌

Need a few small toiletries? You can even message the front desk directly from the tablet and have them sent up to your room. And if you’re lucky, your delivery might even arrive via Relay the Robot! 🤖💙

How fun is that?! ✨

Has Relay delivered something to your room before?

🦐 A CityWalk Classic: Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. 🌴

If you’re looking for a fun, casual meal at Universal CityWalk, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is always a great choice!

Inspired by the movie Forrest Gump, this restaurant is packed with movie memorabilia, fun trivia, and plenty of Southern charm. Even if you’re not the biggest seafood fan, there’s something for everyone on the menu—including chicken, burgers, salads, and more.

✨ Fun Facts:
🦐 The menu features more than a dozen shrimp dishes prepared in a variety of ways—just like Bubba dreamed of!
🏃 Keep an eye out for fun Forrest Gump references throughout the restaurant.
🚦 Need your server? Flip the “Run Forrest Run!” sign to green. Need a little more time? Leave it on “Stop Forrest Stop!” It’s such a fun interactive touch!
🥤 Don’t skip the specialty drinks and desserts—they’re just as memorable as the atmosphere.

Whether you’re grabbing lunch between park days or enjoying dinner after a day of rides, Bubba Gump is a fun place to relax and soak up the CityWalk atmosphere.

🧙‍♂️🥤 Don’t Skip the Wizarding Drinks at Epic Universe!

While exploring The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, be sure to try some of the unique beverages you won’t find just anywhere!

✨ Dirigible Plum Juice – A sweet, fruity drink inspired by the magical fruit Luna Lovegood is known for.

🍸 Giggle Water (Alcoholic) – A magical cocktail that sparkles and lives up to its whimsical name! It’s a fun option for adults looking to add a little extra magic to their day.

🍋 Lavender Lemonade – A refreshing blend of tart lemonade with a hint of floral lavender. It’s light, refreshing, and one of my favorites on a hot Florida day!

One of my favorite things about the Wizarding World is that it’s not just about the rides—it’s the little details, themed food, and specialty drinks that make you feel like you’ve stepped into another world.

💬 Which one would you order first: Dirigible Plum Juice, Giggle Water, or Lavender Lemonade?

🎬💥 Don’t Skip The Bourne Stuntacular!

If you’re heading to Universal Studios Florida, make sure The Bourne Stuntacular is on your must-do list. Even if you haven’t seen the Bourne movies, this show is absolutely worth your time!

✨ Fun Facts:
🎥 The show blends live actors, real stunt performers, and an enormous moving LED screen so seamlessly that it’s hard to tell where the real action ends and the digital effects begin.
🔥 You’ll experience high-speed chases, hand-to-hand combat, explosions, and jaw-dropping stunts—all in one show!
🏆 The cutting-edge technology used in the attraction is unlike anything else at Universal Orlando and has earned praise throughout the theme park industry.
❄️ Keep an eye out for special effects including wind, heat, and other immersive elements that make you feel like you’re right in the middle of the action.
🎭 It’s also a great opportunity to sit down, cool off in the air conditioning, and still enjoy an action-packed experience.

This is one of those attractions that surprises so many guests. I went in expecting a good stunt show… and walked out completely blown away!

💬 Have you seen The Bourne Stuntacular? What was your favorite part without giving away any spoilers?

🏰✨ No Universal Orlando trip is complete without a visit to Hogwarts Castle!

Towering over Hogsmeade in Islands of Adventure, Hogwarts Castle isn’t just home to one of the most incredible queues in any theme park—it’s also home to Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey!

✨ Fun Facts:
🧙 The attraction uses a one-of-a-kind robotic ride system that lets you soar, twist, and dive through Hogwarts and beyond.
🎬 The queue takes you through iconic locations from the films, including Dumbledore’s Office and the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and the moving portraits that chat with one another.
🧹 You’ll fly alongside Harry Potter on a thrilling Quidditch adventure before coming face-to-face with magical creatures and Dementors.
🎢 The ride combines massive practical sets, projection technology, and motion simulation to create one unforgettable experience.
📸 Even if you don’t plan to ride, the castle is one of the most photographed landmarks at Universal Orlando—and it’s absolutely stunning both during the day and illuminated at night.

My biggest tip? Take your time walking through the queue. There are so many details that Harry Potter fans will appreciate, and it’s easy to miss them if you’re rushing through!

💬 What’s your favorite room inside Hogwarts Castle?

💳 One of my favorite Universal Orlando hotel perks? Charging purchases to your room key!

On one of our last trips, we decided to use our room keys to charge everything we bought around the parks—and I don’t think I’ll ever go back!

Instead of digging through my bag for a credit card every time we wanted a snack, drink, or souvenir, I just tapped my room key and was on my way. It made checkout so quick and easy!

✨ A few things to know:
🏨 This perk is available when you’re staying at a Universal Orlando hotel.
🛍️ You can use your room key to charge purchases at most Universal-owned restaurants and merchandise locations throughout the parks and CityWalk.
📄 Everything is conveniently added to your hotel folio, so you only have one bill to review at the end of your stay.

It may seem like a small thing, but it’s one of those little conveniences that makes your vacation feel even more relaxing.

💬 Have you ever used your room key to charge purchases at Universal, or are you still reaching for your credit card?
