We were invited as media to attend a 2 day/2 park event.
If you follow me on social media, you might have caught a glimpse into last weekend’s #UniversalHolidays adventure. The family and I enjoyed a packed weekend filled with holiday fun at the Universal Orlando Resort. Here’s my 5-year-old and I, excited for the day ahead!
The Naughty & Nice Holidays at Universal includes visiting Seuss Landing™, where the area is transformed into the whimsical world of Grinchmas. After catching the Grinchmas Wholiday Spectacular, “a heartwarming live show starring The Grinch™, and featuring music recorded by Mannheim Steamroller.” Afterwards we enjoyed a meet and greet with that naughty Grinch.
We then made our way to Universal Studios Florida to experience The Macy’s Holiday Parade and experience a live viewing of traditional floats from the The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade® in New York City.
Of course we had to experience some of the best at Universal Orlando Resort, including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure. Learn more about the park expansion, which includes DIAGON ALLEY!
For the first time, we saw Gru, the girls, and their minions in a live show in front of Mel’s Diner. We really enjoyed the show, meet & greet with the cast, and of course made time in our day to visit the Despicable Me Minion Mayhem attraction. It is one of our family’s favorite movies ever!
Another favorite of ours is the Men in Black ALIEN ATTACK ride, where you experience being an agent trainee and zap aliens as you chase them through the streets. My husband and I are all about competition and this ride is an absolute blast, and must-see!
Park admission, backstage experience, and food were provided. No additional compensation was received. All opinions are my own.

Looks like a fun trip. We saw the Grinch last year (or maybe two years ago) and it was fabulous.
