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!

I would love to visit the Harry Potter world. My children LOVE Harry Potter, can’t think of anything that would be more exciting than taking them to see the books brought to life.
My kids would love to see The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man. And I would love to see their SMILES.
Thanks.

WOW! What an awesome giveaway! The timing on this is sooo cool, as my 18-year-old daughter Nicole just graduated from high school here (Iowa) and she and one of her best friends, who has had juvenile diabetes since age 9, her friend’s mom and I are planning a quick 4-day getaway to Universal Orlando in July (the only time we can all get away together). Nicole and Melia (well, and us moms too) are HUGE fans of Harry Potter and that will be where we will be heading once we get to the park, that’s for sure!. In fact, Melia’s “adopted” middle name is Voldemort. : ) Also hope to see the Blue Man Group again if we can. These tickets would be the icing on the cake. (The girls both took 4 years of Spanish, too–their Spanish names are Nora and Hilda.)
Thanks again for the FAB-U-LOUS giveaway! : )

Hello, I am a fan already on Facebook.
I would love to win this game because I am a single mom, you know how hard it is to strech money when you only have one income. Anyway, I have always been in love of the Orlando theme parks, and have taken my daughter Valeria (5 y/o) a couple of times, however, she has never been to Universal Studios, we became obsessed with Harry Potter last year when my niece Isabella (10 y/o) started watching them and I followed, so I am up to date with the movies, totally love them and I would be awesome to go and see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and take my daughter and nieces with me.
The park is great, because it has activities for all the ages, so I think it would be exciting and a great vacation for my whole family. Thanks!

I would love to do the Jaws ride. It is a pop culture movie that I loved as a teenager and now my kids have seen it and loved it.
It would have to be the Wizarding world of Harry Potter because I have read every book multiple times and I LOVE Harry Potter.
Thanks for the chance.
