Four parks. Eleven hotels. One right plan for your family.
Universal Orlando isn't one park anymore — it's an entire destination, and the difference between a good trip and a great one comes down to decisions most first-timers don't know they're making.
Which hotel tier actually saves you money
Some Universal hotels include perks that can be worth more than the room-rate difference. I run that math for your specific dates and party before you spend a dollar.
Park order and pacing
Four parks don't fit in two days. I sequence your days around your crew — early risers, teens, grandparents, thrill levels — so nobody's wrecked by day three.
The stuff you'd only learn by going
Where to eat, what to skip, when to arrive, how to build in real rest. A decade of our own trips means my advice comes from the pavement, not a brochure.
Ten years in the parks — as a guest first
Our first family trip — and the first round of lessons learned the hard way.
Return visits across seasons and crowd levels, with kids at every age and stage. We've done the holidays, the summer heat, and the sweet-spot weeks in between.
We experienced Universal Orlando's newest theme park firsthand — and I'll share our honest take in my videos below.
I completed Universal's official specialist training for both coasts, adding certified product knowledge to a decade of first-hand experience.

Common questions
How does your pricing work?
For most trips, I'm compensated by the travel suppliers — so my planning comes at no additional charge to you, and my recommendations are always built around what's best for your trip. Trips with more moving parts — pre- and post-cruise hotel stays, land extensions, multi-stop itineraries, or group coordination across households — involve a planning fee that reflects the scope of the work. It's a separate professional fee for my time and expertise, and I'll always share it with you up front, before anything begins.
Is this just for Orlando?
Both coasts. I'm certified for Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood — they're very different trips, and I can help you decide which fits your family.
We've never done a theme park trip. Is that okay?
First-timers are my favorite. That's exactly when a specialist saves you the most money, time, and stress.
Can Universal be part of a bigger trip?
Absolutely — I regularly pair park days with cruises, resort stays, and multigenerational reunions. One plan, one advisor.
