It was super hot on our second day at Universal. The students went straight to the rides, the chaperones broke out into their groups and we all enjoyed the day.

There is so much to see and do at Universal Studios! We started in Islands of Adventure and then took the City Walk over to Universal Studios.

I am in awe of the architecture and the creativity that went into designing these parks. Their attention to detail is amazing. Also nice is that everyone is super pleasant. The folks emptying the trash greet everyone. Every staff member is a cast member, no matter if they are in costume, serving food, or picking up trash. Water was plentiful and each food location had cups of free ice water for anyone who asked.

We left Universal for Disney Springs for dinner. We left a bit later than anticipated and didn’t have time to see everything other than a few shops that we walked by and where we stopped for dinner. Some of the students were able to see a bit more and probably had dinner more quickly than where I went. And then it was back to the hotel for pool time.
