    T1D at Universal

    Yes, it's pretty amazing stuff!

    T1D at Universal

    Yeah, my friend bounces back pretty quickly as well from a sugar event as well, but since her T1D unexpectedly manifested in her 20s, put her in a diabetic coma, and put her in the hospital, I guess her perspective is different about whether or not to seek professional medical assistance...

    T1D at Universal

    I apologize in advance but I have to ask about this because I'm a little concerned - your partner went into a diabetic coma in your hotel room, you administered BAQSIMI, and then you were both running off as fast as you could to the rollercoasters in the morning? Did you call 911 after...

    Combining Disney with Universal - split stay between Disney and Universal hotels or stick with Disney resort?

    I haven't seen anyone mention this in here yet, but do be aware that Portofino is currently under extensive construction/renovation which is expected to last until summer 2025, so it may not actually be very peaceful or quiet this August. Also due to the construction, Portofino's walking path...

    May have to cancel trip - re-dating USO tickets?

    I've never purchased from them - have you checked their FAQ? ETA: I'd assume the ticket details, including refund details, are also probably in the email you would have received when you purchased the tickets.

    May have to cancel trip - re-dating USO tickets?

    Yeah, it's nice that Undercover Tourist tickets have a 365-day 95% refund policy - as far as I know, I think it's basically the only way you can ever get a refund on a Universal Orlando parks ticket. (someone please correct me if I'm wrong lol) Changing the dates through Universal directly -...

    May have to cancel trip - re-dating USO tickets?

    Unlikely. Undercover Tourist tickets are refundable but not changeable (according to their TOS). If the tickets were purchased directly from Universal, you could call or email Customer Service and throw yourself on their mercy to request a date change, but I doubt they'd work with tickets...

    Cabana Bay vs. Dockside for HHN?

    I've stayed at CBBR but not Dockside. Personally, for a $100 total difference, my fondness for CBBR's pools and lazy river + familiarity with their food court would win out. And it's closer to Aventura if you want to hit their bar.

    Transportation MCO to Royal Pacific

    Oh boy, that was in 2021 which is a long time ago for my memory. It was the Mears taxi stand, and I want to say it was in the $40-45 range, and almost certainly under $50. I remember thinking that it was more expensive than when I Ubered MCO-Universal in 2019 but less expensive than I'd feared.

    Transportation MCO to Royal Pacific

    I've used Uber and Lyft quite a lot over the years but after an unpleasant experience, I've gone back to taxis (speaking as an often solo female traveler). The taxi stand at MCO was very quick to get me on my way, and I was able to very easily reserve a pickup time for my trip back to the...

    Where to eat at Universal Orlando including menus...UPDATED REGULARLY

    Does anyone have a recent menu for Amatista's a la carte breakfast options? OI has a photo but I'm not sure how recent it is.

    First ever Trip to Universal/Orlando February 1-8 2022!

    Ugh Spirit. A close friend was similarly burned a few years ago, so I've never actually flown with them myself. I hope you managed to get your refund out of them! So good that you were able to book with Southwest instead, they're generally just so reliable in my experience. (though it also...

    Advice Needed for Trip in February

    We did an airport hotel back in 2017, but Dockside & Surfside are so inexpensive you really might as well grab that for a night imo. It'll be nearby for transferring luggage and you'll have early park admission that first day. Places to eat - I'm a big fan of Cowfish, and if your girls are HP...

    Crowd levels mid-December?

    The Orlando Informer crowd calendar projects it as moderate for your dates. There are a few different crowd calendars out there - checking them and the projected wait times for those crowd levels may be a good place to start? No one really knows how re-opening international travel is going to...

    Spots available Private RIP HHN Orlando tour 10/30/21 - now full!

    Ugh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize. I didn't think it fell under that interpretation of their group rules.

    Spots available Private RIP HHN Orlando tour 10/30/21 - now full!

    I know you said you don't do Facebook, but I'd think posting in the Orlando Informer FB group could get you a few more people pretty quickly?

    Cabana Bay or Dockside Family Suite?

    I haven't stayed at Dockside, but I have stayed in one of CBBR's one bedroom suites. We had four adults and it worked really well for us. I really liked the exterior-entry suites. We stayed in Thunderbird iirc and the soundproofing was really good, plus the bedroom was pleasantly dark since the...

    HHN at last! A TR that was briefly live, then not live, and is now finished.

    Fabulous! We'll be there in a week and a half. We're planning to check in on Ollivander's our first afternoon 🥳

    HHN at last! A TR that was briefly live, then not live, and is now finished.

    Thanks for sharing your trip! I'll be following along! And - no wait at Ollivander's? 🤯
