You didn’t think my family and I would head out to an all-expenses paid trip to Universal Orlando and Island’s of Adventure and not get something out of it for you? No way!
The amazing people over at Universal Orlando Resort want TWO SpanglishBaby friends to each win a
a package of two-day, two-park tickets for four people. Each package of four is valued at $539.96 USD and the winners will have until June 11, 2012 to use the tickets, or forfeit prize.
We are truly excited to host this giveaway since I experienced a beautiful new stage in my girl´s life and saw her blossom after spending a week visiting Universal Orlando and Island´s of Adventure. We would love to pass it forward and have your kids experience the thrills and magic of these theme parks that bring both movies and books to life.
Experiences like these are better lived than told about. The closest we can get to showing you how amazing this place is for a family with kids of all ages is this video that my husband put together for us. In the video below you will catch just a glimpse of how much fun a preschool-age kid can have at both the theme parks and the on-site hotels.
Song featured on the video is “Holiday” from Vampire Weekend. Get it here.
Special thank you to the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel for treating us with special care and attention. Staying at one of the three Universal on-site hotels is truly the way to go. You will feel miles away from everything, but will be just a boat ride away from the theme parks and Universal´s CityWalk. Not only that, but you get the added perk of being able to use your room key as an Express Pass to most rides and also early admittance to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Butterbeer for breakfast?). Just watch this video from Jennyonthespot.com and you´ll be convinced of the awesome-ness of this place!

Dr. Seuss Land for my one and a half year old and Jurassic Park for my husband. My little one loves to watch the cat and the hat! This would be a great treat for my family since we have had a hard year.
It’s a toss up between Harry Potter for me & my hubby & Seussland for the kiddies =) We’re kids at heart so the whole family would enjoy this!

I have never been to Universal Orlando Resort and would LOVE to visit the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey thrill ride. I am a huge geek and have read ALL the Harry Potter books so I am a huge fan

We have never visited Universal Orlando and my family and i would be thrilled to participate in this giveaway. We would love to visit the Wet ‘n Wild Waterpark. Last summer we were worked very hard on learning how to swim and seeing water as a friend instead of being afraid of water. The fact that the waterpark offers miniture versions of adult rides will be beneficial and ideal to practice what we learned about swimming. This is such a generous opportunity. Thank you so much.

I think my son would love the Spider man Adventures the most, but they all look awesome.

I think it all looks great but I have a little boy and a not so little boy who are Spider man fanatics so without a doubt that would be the first stop.

I have been dying to get to Orlando to take my son to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. He is a Potter fanatic and I know it would just blow his mind to get to go there. Thank you so much for the excellent giveaway.

I would love for my boy to experiece The Cat in the Hat , and all Dr. Seuss rides!!! It would truly make him love the books so much more!!! Right now he’s just 2 but loves his first Dr. Seuss Book, green eggs and ham!!!
I don’t let my kids watch many scary movies, but they both got to see jurassic park and were less scared than me (and I was a teenager when I first saw it!) . Maybe the ride will give them a thrill!
My kids would like to visit The Cat and The Hat…siiiii
OMG! Pick me!! LOL. How exciting, we LOVE to travel, if you pick us I wont disappoint! My two children ARE fish, so I would take them to Wet & Wild at Universal Studios followed by The Cat in The Hat theme park because The Cat in the Hat ROCKS.
The following I will do in the next few minutes:
