Sunday Snapshot: Universal








As a family we have gone to Universal and Island of Adventure many times. We live in Naples and that is about a 3.5 drive to Orlando. We have had season passes since Nara was about 5 so as you can see we have never brought a toddler to a Theme Park so we were a little nervous to bring Caroline but last weekend we decided to give it a shot.










The four of us spent a lot of time here. She thought this area was magical












Caroline, Nara and I rode this while Rick sat back and took a few pics





She was not really tall enough for this but we put her little wedge shoes on her and they let her squeeze by. This was by far her favorite ride.
















Nara rode this ride solo no one else wanted to get this wet.






We stayed here at the Portofino Bay Hotel. The Portofino Bay Hotel is one of the three hotels on site. We have stayed at all of them and they are all great. Best of all when you stay on the grounds you get an express pass for the rides and you get in the park early. It is totally worth it and it is a resort so each hotel has amazing pools and spas.























With Parent Swap we were even a able to ride all of the big kid rides



















One of my favorite restaurants at Universal is Hark Rock and thanks to a tired little girl we did not get to go but we always have next time














Best of all Caroline got the chance to meet Sponge Bob she was so excited. As she waited for him she started chanting “Sh BoB” (Sponge Bob) and then when he walked in she ran right up to him and gave him a big hug. My little one is not shy.
