U is for Universal Orlando

Universal Orlando is 3 theme parks in one and an awesome family destination.

 Staying at the Portofino Bay is a little taste of visiting Italy.  Its gorgeous setting, evening serenades on the piazza, and delicious food make it a first rate resort.  Also, staying here, entittled us to Unlimited Express passes to skip the lines - a very much appreciated perk during spring break crowds. (Loews Royal Pacific Resort and the Hard Rock Cafe Hotel get you the same perk!)

Spaghetti and Meatballs at Mama Dellas

Volcano Bay Waterpark is a blast.  Definitely want to take advantage of the Early Park Admission that comes with staying at Universal Orlando resort.

Visit Hogwarts at Islands of Adventure - just one of the many great attractions there.

Universal Studios has thrill rides, fun shows in the streets, and of course more Harry Potter - at Diagon Alley, where you will find Platform 9-3/4 and the Hogwarts Express over to Hogwarts Castle in Islands of Adventure when you have a Park to Park ticket.
