This is such a great book if your trip to Orlando is going to feature a trip to the Universal Parks. It is so hard to find a book that has quality input on any park other than Walt Disney World. For the families who are planning to venture beyond that park and into the world of Universal Studios, this guide book is a must. It has exciting descriptions of all of the rides, great input on dining and lodging, and will get you pumped up and ready to go!!

For anyone planning a vacation to Universal Studios Orlando, this book is a must! With so many guide books on the Orlando attractions, USO gets only a brief mention. So when I found this book, I was thrilled. It covers everything you need to know when planning - when to go, where to stay, where to eat. It lists each attraction and show in great detail. There is a section on each hotel on the property, which is very detailed and very helpful, as well as a section just on City Walk, the entertainment area of USO. Even if you've been to USO in the past, I think this is a great book to keep you up-to-date on the parks and hotels. Very well written by Kelly Monaghan!

We just got back from a trip to Orlando to visity Disney World and Universal. I have been to Disney before but never Universal. This book was perfect to utilize in order to prepare for my days at Universal. Universal is different froim Disney with different things to offer. It is also more of an adult experience. There are two separate parks to Universal and this book fully describes in great detail what to expect with each. Each ride/event is described fully which is a great help to prepare before going. The ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE park is filled with themed rides that are amazing, fast and not for those who tend to get motion sickness. Awesome roller coasters and fast rides. I knew from this book to take my motion sickness med and I was able to enjoy all of it. My favorite ride was the adventure of JAWS.

But back to the book. All you need to know about the parks - rides, food, parking, when to go and what to expect is all here. Nothing is left out. If going to Universal you will have a blast and this book is the only one you need in order to prepare.

Enjoy.

We just returned today from our Universal Orlando adventure. We found the book very helpful since we had never visited Universal before. The summaries of each attraction and food/shopping in each park were great. We used it to plan our daily schedule and even to choose our seats on each ride to maximize our enjoyment!

The book was a wonderful bargain and just what I was looking for. It was in very good shape, it was well packaged and it arrived promptly.
