🦍 KONG IS A BIG HIT WITH MY LITTLE GUY! 🦍

Kong: Skull Island is one of my 4-year-old’s favorite rides at Islands of Adventure! 🙌🦍 He absolutely loves the adventure, the excitement, and of course… getting up close with the King himself! 👑

✨ Fun Fact: Did you know the giant King Kong animatronic at the end of the ride is actually Universal’s largest animatronic figure?! 🤯

And let me tell you… seeing Kong standing right there in front of you is pretty incredible! It’s one of those Universal moments that makes you stop and think, “How did they even build this?!” 😂

If you have a little one who loves monsters and BIG adventures, Kong: Skull Island is definitely one to add to your Islands of Adventure list! ❤️

🦍 Have you ridden Kong: Skull Island? What’s your favorite part?

🌫️☠️ TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT! ☠️🌫️

The fog rolls in… the lights go down… and the Death Eaters return to Diagon Alley! 🪄🐍

Halloween Horror Nights 35 officially starts TONIGHT! 🎃🔥 And there is just something extra magical (and terrifying 😱) about wandering through Diagon Alley after dark while the Death Eaters take over the streets.

If you know, you KNOW… this is one of my absolute favorite parts of Halloween Horror Nights! 🖤

✨ Who else loves spending HHN nights in Diagon Alley with the Death Eaters?! ✨

🥥👽 THE DEAD COCONUT CLUB IS BACK… AND IT’S OUT OF THIS WORLD! 🌴🛸

If you’re heading to Universal Orlando during Halloween Horror Nights, you’re going to want to add this to your plans! 👀

The Dead Coconut Club officially opens to the general public Friday, August 28! 🎃

This year’s theme is “Harvest” — but this isn’t your typical fall festival! 🍂👽 The upper level of Red Coconut Club is being transformed into a Midwest harvest festival that takes a VERY unexpected turn when an alien abduction/invasion crashes the party! 🛸😱

✨ Here’s what you need to know:
📅 Public Opening: Friday, August 28, 2026
🎃 Open on select Halloween Horror Nights nights through November 1
⏰ Generally open 5 PM–1 AM
🎟️ No HHN ticket required!
💰 FREE admission
👨‍👩‍👧 Open to all ages — guests must be 21+ with valid photo ID to purchase or consume alcohol.

💙 Annual Passholders — you get a sneak peek! 💙
🌴 Tuesday, August 25: 8 PM–12 AM
🌴 Friday, August 28: 3 PM–4 PM

And yes… you can enjoy the Dead Coconut Club without actually entering Halloween Horror Nights! 🙌

If you’re planning a Universal Orlando vacation this fall, this is definitely one of those little extras I’d recommend adding to your list! 🥥👽🎃

OK, LET ME TALK ABOUT THE CAVES INSIDE CAMP JURASSIC! 🌴🦖

My son and I wandered into Camp Jurassic at Islands of Adventure on our last visit, and WOW!! 😍 I honestly can’t believe we’ve been visiting for years and this was our first time actually taking the time to explore the caves!

It was SO incredibly cool! 🦖🪨 There was so much to see and explore, and the best part? It wasn’t crowded at all! We were able to take our time, explore, and really enjoy everything without feeling rushed. 🙌

It ended up being one of the highlights of our entire day! ❤️

And let’s be honest… it was also the PERFECT place to cool off because that Florida heat is BRUTAL! 🥵☀️😂

Sometimes it’s the attractions you don’t plan for that end up being the most memorable. So if you’ve never explored the caves inside Camp Jurassic, DO IT! You might be surprised by how much fun you have! 🦕💚

🦖✨ I FINALLY GOT TO RIDE PTERANODON FLYERS! ✨🦖

After wanting to ride Pteranodon Flyers at Islands of Adventure for YEARS, I finally got my chance! 🙌 And the best part? I got to ride it at night with Camp Jurassic all lit up and the torches burning. 🔥🌙

It was absolutely AMAZING! There’s something so cool about soaring above Camp Jurassic at night and seeing everything glowing below you. 🦕✨ Definitely worth the wait!

💡 A couple things to know: Adults can only ride Pteranodon Flyers when accompanied by a child who is at least 36 inches tall, and this attraction does NOT offer Express Pass.

Have you ridden Pteranodon Flyers? And if you have, have you experienced it at night?! 👀🦖

👀🎃 A GLIMPSE OF WHAT'S WAITING IN THE DARK... 👻

Here’s a little sneak peek at one of the scare zones coming to Halloween Horror Nights this year! 😱🔥

You never know what—or WHO—you’re going to run into once you step into the fog! 🫣

HHN is getting closer, and I can already feel the excitement (and fear!) building! 🎃

Who else is ready to face the scares this year?! 👀

🏁 One Last Ride for Fast & Furious! 🏁

We rode Fast & Furious – Supercharged one last time before it permanently closes! 😭🏎️💨

I know this ride wasn’t everyone’s favorite, but I have to give it one thing… it was a GREAT way to cool off! 😂 Between all the wind and action, you definitely felt that breeze!

It’s always a little bittersweet saying goodbye to a Universal attraction, but I’m really excited to see what takes its place! 👀

What would YOU love to see come to this spot? ⬇️

These Are My Views Tonight From the Hot Tub at Sapphire Falls 🌴💦✨

One last night soaking in this beautiful view before it’s time to head home. 🥹💙

I’m always a little sad when it’s time to leave, but I’m also so incredibly thankful for all the memories made on this trip. ❤️

Universal Orlando Resort and Loews Sapphire Falls will always hold such a special place in my heart. There’s just something about being here that makes every visit so memorable, and I’m so grateful for all the amazing memories I’ve had the privilege of making here with my family. ❤️

One last night, one last swim, and one more beautiful memory to take home with me. Until next time, Universal! 💙🌴🎢
