Disney World isn’t the only Orlando theme park to implement a meal plan to help feed its budget-conscious guests- Universal has its own meal plan.

They Continue reading Universal Escape Orlando Meal Deal I’m sure your family has heard of Universal Studios Escape in Orlando, Florida.

One of my favorite places to go hang out with friends is Universal Escape Orlando’s CityWalk. It has good music, lots of stores, plenty of restaurants, and many clubs and bars.
