Every time Universal announces something new, I end up reading articles, zooming in on concept art, and trying to figure out what this park is actually going to be like for families.

So I finally pulled everything together into a free Universal Kids Resort guide.

Inside you'll find:
- The themed lands and attractions
- Hotel, attractions, dining + shopping info
- What makes this park different
- Answers to the questions parents keep asking

If you've been wondering whether Universal Kids Resort might be a good fit for your family, you can grab a copy here:

Also... tell me I'm not the only one following every announcement 😂 Which land are your kids most excited about?

If you ever hear Disney fans talking about "EEH," this is why they're willing to stay up way past their bedtime.

It's 2 hours after park closing with fewer people, shorter waits, cooler temperatures.

As someone who would choose Extended Evening Hours over rope drop almost every time, this is one of my favorite Deluxe Resort perks.

It's not for every family. But if your crew does well staying up late (even just once!), it can be a game changer.

I've been getting a LOT of questions about Universal Kids Resort lately, so I put together a quick overview of what makes it different.

What stands out to me isn't just the attractions... it's that the entire experience appears to be designed around families with younger children (ages 3-9).

- Kid-friendly rooms
- Hotel close to the park
- Attractions designed for younger ages
- Smaller footprint that's WAY easier to navigate than your typical theme park

As both a travel advisor and a parent of a child in the target age range, I can absolutely see why so many families are excited about this one.

Would this be a good fit for your family?

Sit-down, slower meals (aka your built-in break). Especially key in the summer months - hello, air conditioning!
I always recommend at least one per trip for sanity alone.

just a little reminder… 👀 summer promos are here for disney+ subscribers with rooms from $99/night + kids dining free.

these don’t last forever, and the best options are already booking up!

if this has been on your mind… this is your sign 🤍

if you’ve looked into planning a Disney trip lately and immediately got overwhelmed by all the lingo surrounding skipping the lines, you're definitely not alone 😅

this is one of the biggest things I help clients with because once you understand it, your park days feel SO much smoother. less standing around trying to figure things out, more actually enjoying the trip.

you do not need to spend all day glued to your phone to have a good park day 🙃

i broke down the basics in these slides so it actually makes sense. save this for later if you’re planning a trip ✨

and if you’d rather have someone else handle the strategy side of things… you know where to find me 🤍

Meet characters without waiting in long lines 👏
One of my favorite swaps for families who don’t want to spend half their day in long lines.

Booking your advance dining reservations (ADRs) when they open is the difference between “we’ll just figure it out” and actually getting the restaurants you want 😅
These open early... and yes, I handle that for my clients, too, so they don't have to wake up at 5 a.m. to book!
