Holidays at Universal Orlando Details
All of the fun kicks off on November 16 and continues through January 5, giving you plenty of time to enjoy this special time of year. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter will be invaded by Christmas spirit throughout all of Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. Over at Hogsmeade in Islands of Adventure, guests will enjoy sampling seasonal food and drink while listening to holiday music performed by The Frog Choir. When night falls, be sure to get a spot near Hogwarts Castle to take in the amazing projection of holiday lights at The Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle show. In Diagon Alley, guests will marvel at the dazzling array of holiday lights that make the streets of London come alive.
Do not miss the classic Universal’s Holiday Parade featuring Macy’s. Or watch the live retelling of the beloved Dr. Seuss story starring The Grinch in the Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular. There is much festive fun to be had once you arrive at Universal Orlando.
Where to Stay
There are many hotels near Universal Studios, such as the Westgate’s Orlando resorts, making it easy to find lodging accommodations that put you right on the doorstep of all of the seasonal events. The Hyatt Place across from Universal Orlando Resort is a popular choice for families. As a Universal Partner Hotel, the Hyatt Place offers complimentary shuttle service to the parks, spacious guest rooms, and a rejuvenating outdoor pool. For a rocking good time, visitors can choose to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel. It features a slightly edgy vibe and offers close proximity to all that Universal has to offer.
What to Eat
In addition to all of the festive food offerings at Universal Studios, there is a host of other fun offerings to consider for your dining bucket list. Visitors to Universal enjoy the convenience of a host of restaurants conveniently located at the CityWalk area. Favorites include the spirited Cowfish Sushi Burger, offering unique combinations of burgers, sushi, and more. For a quick breakfast on your way to the parks, do not miss the legendary Voodoo Doughnuts. This trendy doughnut shop offers delicious and creative treats that will make you smile.
CityWalk also offers a myriad of quick-service joints for a fast lunch on the go, including the popular Moe’s Southwest Grill, Red Oven Pizza Bakery, and the Bread Box Handcrafted Sandwiches. For a more upscale dining experience after a day at the parks, be sure to check out the new Bigfire, serving up premium American fare such as steaks and fresh seafood.

I have always wanted to go to Disney and just can’t seem to ever make it happen. I am truly going to plan for it next year with the grand baby. I think it would be best to get a travel agent involved.
