Entering Universal:

First, you will pass through CityWalk, very quiet in the mornings. Wait until you leave and see how it comes to life with music, lights and that party feeling 'We love it'.

Turn right once you reach the lake and cross the bridge to the main entrance passing the world famous Universal sign. Make sure you have your cameras and video cameras at the ready, a great spot for those family photo's.

Remember to pick up your park map on the way in, but to give you a start here's a helpful map to help you through this page (print and take it with you).

Final Thoughts:

We've been travelling from the UK to Orlando since 1997, and with the introduction of Universals Island of Adventure and CityWalk in recent times, we believe Universal Studios is up there with the best of what the Disney theme parks have to offer.

So, if your budget allows, visit Universal Orlando and see for yourself what these fantastic theme parks have to offer.
