We rope dropped Epic this morning. Most people went to Nintendo World and Harry Potter. We went to Isle of Berk. We walked on to Hiccupโ€™s Wing Gliders twice, rode Dragon Racerโ€™s Rally, and got pics with Toothless before the park opened.

During our visit to Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios yesterday, we opted not to utilize the rope drop or express passes. The longest wait we experienced was 70 minutes in the single rider line for Hagrid's. All other attractions had wait times of 35 minutes or less. We had a great day! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿšจ Important Update for Guests Visiting Universal Volcano Bay ๐Ÿšจ

๐ŸŒŠ Volcano Bay is now completely cashless!!!

This means that all in-park purchases must be made using:
๐Ÿ’ณ Credit or debit cards
๐ŸŽ Universal gift cards
๐Ÿ“ฑ Universal Pay
๐Ÿ“ฒ Tap-to-pay options

Guests who bring cash can use the complimentary Cash-to-Card kiosks to transfer funds onto a prepaid card accepted throughout the park.

๐Ÿ“ธ My Universal Photos packages are temporarily unavailable at Volcano Bay. While updates are in progress, guests are encouraged to take their own photos. The park offers several great photo-friendly locations to capture those vacation memories.

Plan ahead for a smooth, stress-free day in the park! ๐ŸŒด

We had the BEST night at the Mardi Gras Parade at Universal Orlando Resort a few weeks ago!

From the larger-than-life floats, to the stilt performers, and hyping up the crowd, the atmosphere was absolutely was so fun! The colors, the music, the lights, the beads flying through the air โ€” it truly feels like a little slice of Bourbon Street right here in Orlando.

โœจ Mardi Gras runs February 7 โ€“ April 4, 2026 โœจ
And yes โ€” the parade and concerts are included with park admission!

Pro tips if youโ€™re planning to go:
โœ”๏ธ Arrive early for a great viewing spot
โœ”๏ธ Bring a bag for all the beads youโ€™ll catch
โœ”๏ธ Check the concert lineup in advance

If Mardi Gras is on your bucket list but New Orleans isnโ€™t in the cards this year, this is SUCH a fun (and family-friendly!) way to celebrate.

Whoโ€™s ready to catch some beads next? ๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸŽ‰
