The Unofficial Guide to Universal Orlando 2022 by Seth Kubersky
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Just like in 2018, when I read my first “Unofficial Guide to Universal Orlando Resort,” I found the advice, information, and research to be immensely helpful for having a great vacation. I recently returned from UOR, shamefully having not completed my reading of the book before hand, and can say that without the touring plans and accompanying app, we wouldn’t have had such a good time.
For the first time, my wife and I went during the summer. We knew it was going to be hot and crowded but thanks to the advice in the book and the Touring Plans app we were able to have a great trip and avoid any theme park meltdowns (pun intended).
Many things have changed at UOR due to COVID so it was nice to get an update as well as remind ourselves of attractions that hadn’t changed. The first day in the park we used the wait times on the app in order to plan our day and rides and found that we had ridden almost all the rides in Universal Studios before lunch and the real heat of the day. In fact we found ourselves to be the only ones on the Transformers ride and enjoyed talking back to the autobots. We had decided that since it was summer we wanted to check out Volcano Bay and we were able to use the info in the book to help us have a wonderful time at the water park.
I can’t recommend this series enough as well as the app from the same company. It’s also a fun read in general because of the comments from readers and the personal asides from the authors. Pick one up for your next trip.
