  • Lockers 101 – Universal Studios

    10/13/2021 • Tips, Universal Studios • At Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in Orlando, most major attractions have a strict ‘no loose items’ policy - and that encompasses change, wallets, purses of any kind, backpacks, sunglasses, hats, etc. There are a few solutions to this:  asking a party member to hold everything while you enjoy the attraction is one solution, but a better one is to utilize Short-Term Lockers.  Various locations throughout the theme parks, strategically located close to attractions with these requirements, will house banks of lockers with a digital kiosk.  Using the kiosk allows you to ‘rent’ a short-term locker by either using a fingerprint and code, or your theme park admission ticket.  You will then be assigned a locker for your belongings, which are roughly big enough for a standard sized backpack. What’s great about these lockers?  They are FREE for the first hour, typically.  The FREE use of the locker is […]

  • Moving on Up! Trying a Moderate or Deluxe Resort

    3/14/2018 • Reviews, Walt Disney World • The first Disney World Resort I stayed at was All Star Sports. I remember it to this day. It was during my time as an intern for the Disney College Program. A few of my friends flew down from Nebraska to visit and I was invited to stay with them. I can vividly remember checking-in, walking past the bigger than life sports equipment and getting to our building. Opening the door to our room opened a world of Disney magic I’d never experienced before. There is something about staying at Disney resort that is indescribable. Maybe, it’s the fact that when you leave the pixie dust of the parks it follows you home each night to your room. Jump ahead six years to 2006. I was taking my wife on her fist Disney World vacation. We were young and of course on a budget. A room at Pop Century was […]
