Universal Studios

August 11, 2018 by Florida Premier Rentals

Universal Studios

  • Universal Studios is the world’s largest movie and TV-themed attraction; with adrenalin-pumping rides, incredible experiences and fascinating attractions. There’s plenty to explore when you’re there; from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, to the Simpsons Ride and Despicable Me’s Minion Mayhem. There are also plenty of themed restaurants and shops to explore in between visiting the rides and attractions.

Dining at Universal Studios

  • Universal Studios has a huge range of great places to eat. Your kids will love the character breakfasts at Café La Bamba, and Lombard’s Seafood Grille is the place to go if you can’t resist freshly cooked fish. Alternatively, go to Mel’s Drive In for a 50s style meal or Finnegan’s Bar & Grill for a special meal.
    There’s also many places to stop and grab a snack. With over 50 eateries in total, you really are spoilt for choice.

Top Tips

Here’s how to get the most from your time at Universal Studios.

  • Child swap! If you and your partner want to go on a ride but your child is too young, use the child-swap system to take it in turns. One adult stays with the child while the other goes in search of adventure. The child-swap areas come with TV and activities to keep your little one happy.
  • Be a single rider. If you’re happy to ride alone, you’ll get through the queues a lot quicker.
  • Go on a Sunday Many people staying in vacation rentals in Orlando travel back home on a Sunday, so this is when the theme parks are often a little quieter.
  • Baby friendly. Universal Studios is really baby friendly, and they have supplies if you accidentally forget any nappies or other equipment.
  • Meal Plan. A meal plan can save you money if you’re thinking of eating at least twice at Universal Studios. Enquire when you buy your ticket.

The Best Rides at Universal Studios

Universal Studios has some of the finest rides in Orlando. Here’s our favorites.

  • E.T. Adventure. This is one of the theme park’s oldest rides, and as a result, has to be experienced. Ride your bicycle with E.T. and get him home!
  • Twister Ride it Out. Ever wondered what a tornado felt like? Have a go on this ride and you’ll find out.
  • Terminator 2 3D. This amazing 3D show mixes acting with special effects for a dramatic, exhilarating experience.
  • The Simpsons Ride. Join Homer and the crew on this motion simulator ride, exploring Krusty’s mad-cap theme park; which incidentally, has been condemned…
  • Men in Black Alien Attack. It’s time to blast some aliens on this extra terrestrially themed ride!

Beautiful property!
Grandparents, kids, and grandchildren all loved the house. The youngsters were over the moon about the decor. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. Convenient easy drive to Disney parks and Universal. Thank you so much!

Wonderful home!
We could not have been more pleased with this vacation home!!! It was absolutely perfect for our family. Plenty of space, beautiful pool and nice neighborhood. The Mario room was a hit with the grandchildren as well as the swimming pool with slide .Close to Disney yet far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet.

Birthday at Disney
It was perfect for our family - 3 children under 5 and 5 adults. Lots of room and a small private pool. Close to Disney and themed bedrooms for the kids. There are Kids plates, cups, and utensils. A nice touch. It was clean and convenient. We will be back.

Everything was absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend it highly enough, we would most definitely stay again. The highlight, especially for our kids was the pool and hot tub. The waterpark was great too, everyone was very accommodating!

Amy Kenderish 23/06/24

This home is really nice and clean. We enjoyed our stay. We weren't that far from all the area attractions. Plus, the neighborhood offers several pools and a small waterpark. It was a lot of fun. Thank you for a nice stay.

A Definite Great Place to Stay Close to Disney
This Windsor Hills House is a great place for 8 adults & 4 kids. The kids loved the Star Wars game room. The adults loved the open kitchen and family room to socialize. Everyone enjoyed not only the backyard pool but the free access to the resort with water slides. Great Family Place close to Disney and many restaurants.

Enjoyed our stay immensely!
I can’t say enough positives about our host Yvonne, and Encore. The Encore property is immaculate, safe, and beautiful. We had a few things that needed to be resolved upon our arrival. The WiFi was out when we arrived, and the ac temp was a bit high. We did had a little problem with the temp in the pool not working, and that was attended to immediately! We were also refunded for the time it wasn’t working as well. We spoke to the concierge in person, and they were resolved before we arrived back at the house. So quick and easy. We didn’t use any of the amenities, other than the water park and pool, because we were there for Disney and Universal. Though the resort would have entertained all of us, had that not been the case. The house itself had ample space for 10 of us. It supplied everything we needed and more. The back yard had a pool, as well as outdoor games, and a swing set for the kids to refresh after a long day of the parks.

Great family vacation
The property was just as wonderful as described! Water park on site was great for all ages. The location was central for all Disney parks. The house was a great fit for large families. We had 16 and had plenty of room. The whole vacation was amazing!
