One of the perks of staying at the on-site Universal Kids Resort hotel is that you get Early Park Admission one hour before the park opens to the general public AND a dedicated entrance to the park. During Early Park Admission you can play in Illumination's Minions vs Minions: Bello Bay Club and Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob SquarePants Bikini Bottom.
We totally took advantage of this time! In the hour before the park opened, we were able to:
- Take a selfie with Bob
- Bounce around on Jellyfish Fields Jamboree,
- Ride on the Barnacle Bus,
- Meet SpongeBob and Patrick together,
- Got soaked on Bobbing Barrels,
- Zoom around at Mrs Puff’s Boating School,
- Take a Bello Bay Cruise.
So much fun!!
