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!

What a great giveaway! OMg! I can’t believe I just made it here in time! LOL! I had no idea! Ok…if I won…lol…I would absolutely love to go on the Jurassic Park River Adventure! I am a Dino-nut, an anthropologist and archeologist at heart and I love discovery and the water.
Now…if you asked my hubby, he would tell you that Blue Man Group is where it’s at…he’s a live performance lover. My daughter would probably love the new zoo or the Barney show…but I saw there are a lot of great selections to choose from! Thanks for doing such an awesome giveaway. P.S. Does Universal still have Indiana Jones? Add that to my list!
