🎃 STRANGER THINGS 5 HAS ARRIVED AT HHN! 👻

The Upside Down is calling… and this time, things are getting VERY serious. 👀

The Stranger Things 5 house at Halloween Horror Nights brings the final season of the hit series to life, taking guests straight into the chaos of Hawkins and the Upside Down.

Expect familiar faces, terrifying creatures, iconic scenes, and plenty of Vecna. 🖤😱

What makes this house especially exciting is that it brings the final chapter of Stranger Things into HHN, giving fans the chance to step inside moments from the story they’ve been waiting to see come to life.

🎸 Hawkins.
🕷️ The Upside Down.
👹 Vecna.
🔥 And one final battle.

Are you brave enough to enter the Upside Down?

One of my favorite things to do on every Universal trip is take a new picture of the Gringotts dragon! 🐉📸

I love seeing how each photo turns out—different angles, different lighting, different crowds… and of course, that incredible dragon is always the star of the show! 😍

It’s become one of those little traditions I look forward to every single trip. 💙

Do you have a Universal vacation tradition you do every time you visit? 👇

🚀✨ RESORT SPOTLIGHT: STELLA NOVA RESORT ✨🚀

Looking for a modern, fun, and budget-friendly Universal Orlando resort? 🌌

Universal Stella Nova Resort is one of Universal’s Prime Value resorts, and its space-inspired theme gives it a look all its own! 🪐🚀

A few things to know:

🛏️ Comfortable, modern rooms
🏊‍♀️ Large resort-style pool
🍔 On-site dining & quick-service options
🚌 Complimentary transportation to the Universal parks
🌌 Fun space-inspired theming throughout the resort
💰 A great option for travelers looking for value without staying at a Value resort

💡 STELLA NOVA TIP: If you’re staying here, check out the 3rd-floor hallway! 👀

It features a cool space-themed design that’s easy to miss if you’re just coming and going from your room. It’s worth taking a little stroll down the hallway to check it out! 🚀✨

And remember—when choosing a Universal resort, it’s not just about the room. Think about the pool, transportation, dining, atmosphere, and amenities you’ll actually use during your vacation!

Would Stella Nova make your Universal resort shortlist? 👇

✨ REASON #263 TO PARTNER WITH A TA:
Expertise matters!

You can find A LOT of information online… but sometimes, having too many options can make planning even more overwhelming. 😵‍💫

A travel advisor can help you:

✨ Narrow down your options
✨ Find the right destination and accommodations
✨ Understand the differences between packages and ticket options
✨ Build an itinerary that makes sense
✨ Share tips and recommendations
✨ Help you avoid common planning mistakes
✨ Navigate changes when plans don’t go as expected

Sometimes the most valuable part of a vacation isn’t the booking…

It’s having someone who knows the destination and can help you make the most of it. ❤️

One of the most fun parts of riding Stardust Racers is choosing your side—Yellow 💛 or Green 💚?

Both tracks have their own twists, turns, and thrills, so of course the big question is… which color are YOU choosing?! 👀🏁

Are you Team Yellow 💛 or Team Green 💚?

🍝✨ Le Jardin Ravioli at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium ✨🍝

I think this might be one of the best things I’ve ever eaten at Universal! 😍

The menu had me at pickled radishes… but then this dish came out with Sweety Drop peppers in it too, and I was SOLD. 😂🌶️

Those little peppers are SOOOOO good!! 🤤 They add the perfect pop of sweetness and tanginess to the dish, and paired with the ravioli, it was absolutely delicious.

Honestly, this one surprised me in the best way and immediately went on my list of must-order dishes at Toothsome! 💯

Have you tried the Le Jardin Ravioli? If not, add it to your list! 👏

🏨✨ ROOM SPOTLIGHT: 2-BEDROOM SUITE AT DOCKSIDE INN & SUITES ✨🏨

Looking for more sleeping space without booking two separate rooms? 👀

The 2-Bedroom Suite at Universal’s Endless Summer Resort – Dockside Inn and Suites has a unique setup that can be a great option for families!

🛏️ Private bedroom with 1 queen bed
🛏️ Second room with 2 queen beds
🍳 Kitchenette with mini-fridge, microwave & sink
🚿 1 bathroom
🧼 Sink located outside the bathroom area
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Sleeps up to 6 guests

The layout gives you a little more separation than a standard hotel room while still keeping everyone together.

And the kitchenette is a great bonus for keeping drinks and snacks cold, heating up quick meals, or grabbing breakfast before heading out for a busy park day! 🙌

💡 Travel tip: Room layouts can make a BIG difference when choosing a resort. Don’t just look at the number of beds—look at how the space is actually configured!

Would this room layout work for your family? 👇

🎃 TOMORROW I’M BACK AT HHN! 👻

And I am SO excited!! 😱🖤

I’m especially looking forward to experiencing the Stranger Things house! 🎸👀 As a huge fan, I already know I’m going to be completely obsessed.

But this trip is extra special because it’s my husband’s FIRST time at Halloween Horror Nights! 🎃

I’ve been before, so I have a pretty good idea of what he’s getting himself into… but I want to hear from YOU! 😂

👇 What advice do you have for a first-timer at HHN?

What do you wish someone had told you before your first night? What’s something he absolutely NEEDS to know?

💜💛 Which Minion drink would you choose?! 💛💜

If you’re exploring Minion Land at Universal Studios Florida, you HAVE to check out the specialty drinks at Illumination’s Minion Café! 👀🍌

💛 The Antidote — packed with banana flavor and topped with a Minion-colored topping and graham cracker crumbles. It’s designed to taste like a banana cream pie!

💜 PX-41 Punch — a bright and fruity lemonade with strawberry and kiwi flavors, topped with an Evil Minion-colored topping and Blue Raspberry Pop Rocks for a fun little pop! 💥

And of course, they come in the cutest Minion-themed presentation! 💛💜

Would you go for The Antidote 💛 or PX-41 Punch 💜?

🌴💦 RESORT SPOTLIGHT: SAPPHIRE FALLS RESORT 💦🌴

Looking for a Universal Orlando resort that feels like a tropical escape? 🌺

Universal’s Loews Sapphire Falls Resort brings a laid-back Caribbean vibe to your Universal vacation—with beautiful landscaping, a gorgeous lagoon-style pool, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes it easy to slow down after a busy park day.

🌴 Caribbean-inspired atmosphere
🏊‍♀️ Large lagoon-style pool with waterslide
🚤 Water taxi transportation to Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure
🍽️ Multiple dining options
💦 Beautiful waterfalls and tropical landscaping
🏨 Full-service resort experience

One of the standout features is the water taxi! 🚤 There’s something pretty fun about hopping on a boat to get to the parks instead of getting on a bus.

Sapphire Falls is also a great option for travelers who want more of a resort feel without stepping all the way up to Universal’s most expensive Signature resorts.

💡 Travel tip: Your resort doesn’t have to be just a place to sleep! If you enjoy relaxing at the pool, enjoying a nice meal, or taking a break from the parks, choosing a resort with amenities you’ll actually use can make a BIG difference.
