Orlando

Hard to believe this was 9 years ago... I remember it like it was yesterday! I stopped in Orlando for a few days before taking a Caribbean Cruise and spent that time at Universal Studios.

I stayed at the Portofino Bay Hotel (pictured) which is one of the on site hotels. There was a free water taxi to the main gate from the hotel and the best part was the free "skip the line" ticket that you receive as a hotel guest!

Not only can you visit Universal Studios Florida but you can also visit Universal's Islands of Adventure next door and the latest addition is the Wizarding World of Harry Potter which has been a huge hit with fans.
