Orlando Universal Studios

I was there in April, 2012. Frankly, you need at least 3 to 4 days to visit both studios, Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal Studio Florida. I had spent 3 days at both parks altogether. First day, I had spent all day at the Unversal's Islands of Adventure, took some pictures and avoided rides that would get myself wet. Second day, no camera, focused strictly on rides at both parks. I had headed straight to The Forbidden Journey at the Wizarding world of Harry Potter to avoid long wait in queue. I had also brought some spare clothing to change for those wet rides such as Popeye & Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges. Third day, I had gone to see shows, like the Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue and the Animal Actors On Action. I even had time to repeat some of those rides that I had enjoyed most and shot as many photographs as I pleased with my D90 at both parks. Obviously, you want to enjoy all the rides as well as spending time to stroll at the parks and take pictures at every fascinating attractions, especially taking pictures with your favourite cartoon characters that would "roam around" on the streets. Then firstly, hold on to the map which provided by the park, it comes in handy to find your way around and it also listed the time of all the shows and events. Secondly, plan your itinerary carefully to avoid missing rides and show time.
Lastly, HAVE FUN!

Universal's Islands of Adventure has been open since 2000. The thrill rides on the islands will get your heart pumping and offer an unforgettable vacation for sure.
