Top 5 Universal Orlando Must-Do 2017

We have already covered out Walt Disney World Must-Do List 2017 but we will also be visiting Universal Orlando Resort. Here is our Top 5 Universal Orlando Must-Do for our upcoming trip.

Number 5 Ride Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges

Not a new experience but I love it. The best raft ride ever and an opportunity to cool down & get soaked in the process.

Shouldn’t repeat trips also be about revisiting old favourites?

Number 4 Get an Express Pass

We are going in July so it is going to be busy. This will mean long queues. An Express Pass is the answer to ensure we achieve all our must-do attractions.

Actually I hate the concept of Express Pass. It creates a 2 class system. I prefer the free Disney Fastpass system.

My solution?

Stay at Loews Royal Pacific where the Express pass is free. You could not use it could you?

Number 3 Visit The Chocolate Emporium

The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen how did we not visit in October?

We must-do this time.

Number 2 Race Through New York

Perhaps the biggest change is Universal Orlando since we last visited is the opening of Volcano Bay. I suspect Volcano Bay will be many guest’s Universal Orlando Must-Do for 2017. However; water-parks are not really our thing.

The next biggest new attraction has to be Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon. The attraction looks pretty smart.

Jimmy Fallon isn’t actually that we’ll known in the U.K. so I know little about him. However the attraction is certainly a Universal Orlando Must-Do for our trip.

Number 1 Ride The Hogwarts Express

It broke down on our last trip!

This time we will ride it……we hope.

Linked in with this Universal Orlando Must-Do is the whole of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter which is simply fabulous.

Further Planning

Well that completes our 2017 Must-Do list.

We will be writing our full Orlando plans shortly including our dining choices.

Like last year we will be blogging live from the magic starting mid July.
