Crafting Unforgettable Universal Orlando Adventure

Meeting a Dinosaur

I live ten minutes from the Universal Orlando gates. That matters more than you might think.

Being an Orlando local means I'm not planning your trip from a brochure. I've walked these parks. I've eaten the food (yes, the Three Broomsticks butterbeer, more than once). I've ridden the VelociCoaster. I've stayed at the resort hotels. When Epic Universe opened in May 2025, I was there. I've been back. I know what's worth the hype, what's worth the wait, and what you can skip without missing a thing.

Universal Orlando is bigger than it used to be. You've got four parks: Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Volcano Bay, and Epic Universe, plus Universal's CityWalk and a full lineup of on-site hotels from value to luxury. Epic Universe alone holds five worlds: Celestial Park, Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon Isle of Berk, the new Ministry of Magic in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and Dark Universe. That's a lot of moving pieces. My job is to put them together in a way that actually makes sense for your family, your budget, and how you like to travel.

Whether you're chasing the Wizarding World, the VelociCoaster, Halloween Horror Nights, or you're bringing kids who need to meet Gru before they'll agree to anything else, I'll build you a plan that holds up once you get there.

I also plan trips for families navigating dietary restrictions, autoimmune conditions, sensory needs, and autism spectrum considerations. I know the questions to ask, the accommodations to request, and the quiet spots to build into the day. My medical background means I can also point you to the right care nearby if something comes up on your trip.

Ticket tiers, Universal Express Pass, park-to-park decisions, Early Park Admission through the on-site hotels, the new 2026 ticket deals: I sort through all of it so you don't spend three hours on Reddit trying to figure out if it's worth it. (It depends. I'll tell you when it is.)

Universal Hollywood works the same way. Different park, same approach.
