Today we're back in Florida as we take a look at the Holidays at Universal Orlando Resort.

​Oh, and the lines today? Super short to non existent. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

Fun at the Universal Orlando Fun Run

Picture
In a world of RunDisney races (even one held last weekend in Orlando) sometimes you just want to do something a bit different, and less crowded. 

So with that in mind Renée took on the Universal Orlando Fun Run last weekend which from the looks of it gave the runners a pretty empty course through the two Universal Orlando parks. Check out all the fun times. 

​Written by Renée Girard
Why are we at Universal before the sun is up?
Picture
Picture
Picture
I love Disney races but this weekend we're skipping those for something different instead, the UO Fun Run!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The UO Fun Run took us through both theme parks, starting with Universal Studios.
Picture
Picture
On to Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando where we took a lap around the entire park.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
And the finish line was at CityWalk near Hard Rock Cafe.
Picture
More from the finish line at the UO Fun Run at Universal Orlando . Great race!
Picture
Picture
We were greeted by some minions after crossing the finish line. ​
Picture
Really enjoyed starting my day with the UO Fun Run. Thanks Universal Orlando for a great morning!

Photo Tour of Universal Studios Florida

Picture
Last month Matt and his lovely wife Rose headed out to Orlando to celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary which meant spending a few days at Universal Orlando Resort and Halloween Horror Nights. 

So since there's not really much "construction" wise going along, and because Matt takes amazing pictures, we figured we'd just post some photo tours of the park. So here is the first one from Universal Studios Florida and some from CityWalk. We'll post IOA on Friday.

And there's our look at Universal Studios Florida. We hoped you enjoyed seeing some great detailed pictures of this amazing park instead of just the normal "what's being built" type updates. 

Stay tuned the rest of this week as we kind of found ourselves with a plethora of Universal updates. Tomorrow we'll have an update from the UOR Fun Run, Thursday a trip report from HHN Hollywood, but this ones a bit different as we had to do it with a wheelchair (so that was different) and then Friday we'll have our photo update of Islands of Adventure.
