Experience the Epic Thrill of Universal Orlando Resort

Universal Orlando Resort offers an exhilarating experience for visitors of all ages, with its original two parks—Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure—providing a diverse array of attractions. Universal Studios Florida immerses guests in the world of movies and television, featuring the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley and the thrilling Despicable Me Minion Mayhem ride. Islands of Adventure takes visitors on a journey through themed islands, including Marvel Super Hero Island and Jurassic Park, offering high-speed roller coasters and interactive experiences.

With the recent addition of Epic Universe, Universal Orlando Resort has expanded its offerings even further, introducing five new themed lands: Super Nintendo World, Dark Universe, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and Celestial Park. These new areas provide immersive experiences, unique attractions, and entertainment that make every visit fresh and exciting.

A vacation at Universal Orlando Resort offers a dynamic change of pace from Walt Disney World. Guests can experience more thrill-based rides, cutting-edge attractions, and an edgy, cinematic atmosphere that appeals to both kids and adults looking for high-energy fun. The resort’s creative storytelling through rides and interactive environments delivers experiences that are distinct from the classic fairy-tale worlds of Disney.

Beyond the rides, Universal Orlando provides a more fast-paced, action-packed vacation style with attractions that immerse guests in popular pop culture and movie franchises. Dining, entertainment, and nightlife options are designed for a lively, adventurous crowd, offering a vacation experience that balances excitement with immersive storytelling in a way that is uniquely Universal.

River Trip 2018
Reviewed By Ed - Ocean Isle Beach, NC | Traveled to Amsterdam ~ Netherlands ~ Europe
I took the AMA Waterways 7 night Captivating Rhine cruise from Amsterdam to Basel. I feel I could have handled getting over to Europe and finding my way to the departure port on my own, but it was really great to have Shawn handle all the details of the transfers, pre and post cruise day trips, and hotel stays for me, so I didn't have to--ALL AT NO COST TO ME! It made the entire experience all the more relaxing to know if something went wrong, I had Shawn standing by-- ready to help.

Nowadays, it's rare to pay for something and feel like you really got your money's worth, but I don't think I could have paid for any better service than what I experienced on my AMA cruise. For most of my career I have traveled internationally, and I have never had translator guides as good as AMA's. The cruise manager, Nicki Drinkwater, was a true professional. I have never seen anyone work so hard! There's no way he's only one person, because he seemed to be everywhere at the same time!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Great Experience for First Cruise
Reviewed By Jorrthom - Cincinnati, OH | Traveled to Caribbean
Shawn was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was quick with responses to questions, and made himself available as needed throughout the day. He helped us not only add a traveler 2 days before we set sail, he helped coordinate one of our party members meeting us at a port-of-call later in the trip due to some early medical conditions! The trip probably would not have happened without him.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Unforgettable cruise!
Reviewed By TeamRoberts5 - Connersville, IN | Traveled to Caribbean Sea ~ At Sea ~ At Sea
Shawn had his work cut out for him...but boy did he rock it!!! When going on a cruise and due to crazy mother nature where you should have missed the ship, panick in the gallery and everyone on their phone...when you book with Shawn guess what?!! We sat back and relaxed while he took care of EVERYTHING for us!! Glad to say we had an amazing outcome and a wonderful trip but the stress that departure day went from crazy maniac lady to cool and calm. Shawn answered the second we landed at a different airport and was booking our flights to reach our cruise. Lastly his follow through after the trip was spot on. After emergency visit due to a bug bite, Shawn still asked questions of concern. First time using a travel agent and Shawn exceeded our expectations!! Thank you for an amazing experience and amazing vacation!!!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Quick family trip b/f living overseas for 3 years!
Reviewed By Allyson - Washington, DC | Traveled to Walt Disney World ~ Florida ~ USA
Shawn really helped us with the trip. We were clueless about the Fast Pass process (it's very different now than a decade ago!). He kept monitoring restaurant availability and got us into the Princess Dinner at the last minute even though it had been booked for months.
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.

Life Saver
Our family had the best vacation at Disney over New Years! I have to give a big THANK YOU to Neptune Vacations by Shawn Janofski for helping us plan a full blown Disney vacation in just over a month's time. Most people plan a trip like this a year out but this vacation came together so easily with Shawn's expertise and help. I'd recommend Shawn to anyone. Also, we were victims ?? of the crazy airline disaster of Christmas '22 and had a canceled flight the day after Christmas when we were originally supposed to go. I texted Shawn in panic and he immediately got on the phone with Disney and waited 4 hours on a call to move our trip a few days back. Not only that but he got us better parks & some money back. We are so thankful for Shawn and how easy he makes these trips for us. We have used him 3 times in the past 4 years to book Disney (x 2) and Universal and I can say I'll never use anyone else. Thanks for spoiling us, Shawn!

The Most Magical Place On Earth
The expertise and personal experience Shawn brought to the planning process was hands-down the single biggest factor in making our Disney trip such a success. Every detail was planned for, every consideration taken into account, the itinerary was skillfully crafted to hit all the highlights and avoid all the first-timer pitfalls. Absolutely no complaints, and nothing but compliments for the professional job he did as our travel agent.
