We talk about how much we love Disney World, but we can’t forget about Universal Studios Orlando!
Just like Disney World, this theme park has a lot going on, and will be growing larger with the addition of Epic Universe in 2025! If you’re heading to Universal this summer, or anytime soon, these are some essentials we can guarantee you you’re going to need.
Just like in Disney World, your phone is going to die if you’re using it all day. However, finding some charging plugs that aren’t inside a restaurant is more difficult here, so definitely grab a Portable Charger to bring with you!
We personally love the Anker Portable Chargers and have many members of our team who carry them around on the daily! And this one is magnetic, so no charging cord needed if you have a compatible case!
Unlike Disney World, Universal will make you take your bag off and put it in a locker for pretty much all of their attractions, BUT if you have a Belt Bag, many rides will let you keep it on!
We’ve found these to be IMMENSELY helpful during Universal days, and even though we can’t fit as many things inside it compared to a backpack, not having to stop by the lockers outside each ride can be worth it if you’re in a rides race! The lockers at Universal are also pretty small, so we try to bring a belt bag so it’s not as difficult to take our items in and out!
You’ll want an easy way to carry around your Universal ticket or Annual Pass, along with your important cards, which is why we love these cute Magical Wizard Lanyards.
These are themed to Harry Potter, meaning they’re perfect for fans who expect to spend most of their time in the Wizarding World, and they’ll also hold everything you need.
Wondering how you’re going to carry around your souvenir cup if you’ve got such a small bag? That’s where the Tumbler Carrier Holder comes in!
Now, this will have to be put in a locker before you ride majority of the attractions, however, it’s worth it to make sure you stay hydrated throughout the day (and you don’t have to buy water everywhere you go).
It rains a lot in Disney World, and since Universal is just a few miles away, it rains a lot here too! And you know what that means? Ponchos, it means ponchos.
You COULD buy ponchos inside the park, but you’ll be paying way more than you should for a piece of plastic that will rip and get holes in minutes. So grab these quality ponchos online that are genuinely reusable and won’t be destroyed after one rainstorm.
We’re always here to help you prepare for your next Universal trip, so stay tuned to AllEars!
