There's More to Do Than Just Ride Rollercoasters in These Parks
Dear Polite Traveler,
Turning 60 is a major
life event for a woman. Or, is that just me? For my 60th, I wanted
to play like a kid again and indulge my love of everything Harry Potter.
Consequently, I decided to spend my hard-earned vacation dollars at Universal
Studios Florida. Nevertheless, I couldn’t just spend all my time,
drooling over the new Diagon Alley and Hogsmead—which includes the Hogswart
Castle. I hoped for Galleons of entertainment. After all,
Universal Studios is an active movie studio. Was I disappointed?
Follow along to find out.
Muggle note: Galleons is Wizarding Money.
Note:
Follow CDC and park guidelines when visiting.
Always wear your face mask when in public.
Meet
your favorite movie, cartoon, and comic book characters.
Smitten with superheroes?
How about a classic movie actor of the past? Well, I certainly am. I
don’t know of any place—except the perfect dream—where one can meet Marilyn
Monroe and Spiderman, except right here at Universal Studios Florida. I
met the lovely Marilyn as she leisurely walked down the road, had my picture
taken in front of the Scooby-Doo mystery machine and marveled at the massive
Megaton—all on the same day.
Enjoy
live entertainment.
Whether you like music,
action, or live theater, you won’t be disappointed here. As a Harry Potter
fan, I found the live theater/puppet show depicting the legend of the Deathly
Hallows from the book The Beedle and the Bard (held in Diagon Alley)
enchanting.
Held in Hogsmeade, the
presentation of the “Triwizard Spirit Rally” reflected a portion of the movie
“Goblet of Fire” quite nicely. The Durmstrang students were spot
on.
Also in Hogsmeade, the
musical group, “The Frog Choir”, sang a few A
cappella tunes
and wowed the crowd. Each presentation included plenty of humor as
well.
My favorite, however,
was the Blues Brothers. They rocked the crowd! People of all ages
sang, danced and clapped through their entire musical and dance
presentation. All four entertainers nailed their parts!
Buy
an interactive wand and create your own entertainment!
There is so much to see
that it is absolutely free with the price of admission. Not a ride
person? No problem. Just watch all the free shows and enjoy the
beautiful and sparkling clean parks.
Tip: Carefully read the map you receive as you enter the park. It includes the schedules of all the live entertainment.
