Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Author
Universal Orlando is no mere copycat operation. It represents a new departure in theme park and resort destinations that is very shrewdly positioned in the marketplace to build its own following and capitalize on any decline of the Disney brand. It is sure to capture the imagination of new generations of vacationers who are seeking a different kind of theme park experience designed with the twenty-first century in mind.

Universal Orlando book review,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Universal Orlando: The Ultimate Guide to the Ultimate Theme Park Adventure (Paperback)
Spot on recommendations regarding touring plans of the theme parks, largely spot on with ride/show reviews. A "Must Read" before going. Probably the best Amazon "purpose book" purchase that I've ever made.

I am going to Universal Orlando in 2 weeks and I always research my trips beforehand. This book has everything I needed. I know now what rides/attractions to put on my priority list and those I can skip. I really loved the info. on all the eating places in both parks. I know where we're eating. I've read the whole book and feel very comfortable and prepared for my trip with my daughter. Thanks Kelly.

A must read before a visit to Universal Orlando,
By Chris In Jersey (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Universal Orlando: The Ultimate Guide to the Ultimate Theme Park Adventure (Paperback)
It's been years since my last trip to Universal Orlando so I dediced to search out a book that gave all the details. After looking at many books, this stood out as the best of the bunch and as a bonus it only features Universal! I read it cover to cover and found that it gave the perfect amount of detail on the rides and shows. My major concern was restaurants - why? I am a fussy eater. This book went into nice detail on where to snack and where to find some higher quality food. Also loved that it also shared some of the more secluded parts of the parks to escape the crowds.
what I think will be the most useful for readers is that by reading up ahead of time, you will find what you must see and then can plan your visit more carefully. Also think this would be great reading for the family travelling with teens who can read about their trip beforehand. I read many travel books and found this one to be one of the better in terms of solid info. Worth every penny.
