As you can tell, we are becoming theme park junkies! It’s been years since we’ve been to Universal Studios Hollywood and there have been a lot of changes! Like, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and the newly refurbished Jurassic World ride! Although a lot of the classics still remain, like The World-Famous Studio Tour, and the WaterWorld show! I wanted to share some of our favorites with the kids!
The park closed at 6PM because of Halloween Horror Nights, so we never got a chance to make it to the lower lot. I still feel like we accomplished so much in the time we had!
We started with The World-Famous Studio Tour, since it’s the most time consuming in my opinion. We got to take a trip to skull island, where Kong saved us from the dinosaurs. We survived a flash flood, and an 8.3 earthquake! We also got to see some fun famous movies sets like the Bates Motel, Home Alone, Back to the Future and Wysteria lane, from the Desperate Housewives. Whoville, was a favorite for Paisley, and the War of the Worlds plane crash sight is awesome.
Austin was able to remain in his wheelchair at the front of the tram, and I brought his headphones for all the loud unexpected noises! He remained happy and comfortable and I’d like to think he enjoyed it as much as we did.
The girls love the simpsons so Springfield U.S.A was at the top of the list. Universal put so much detail in recreating the Simpsons hometown, and it’s nothing short of amazing. Everything from homer and krusty the clown walking around to the quick e mart full of merchandise.
From there, we went to watch one of our all time favorite action packed shows! Waterworld! It’s got everything from jet skies to explosions and airplanes. The cast is full of Actors you may have seen on TV shows! They have plenty of handicap seating available. Some in “SOAK” and a big section in the “dry zone” and if you sit in the soak zone - prepare to leave literally that. SOAKED. The show is amazing and the meet and greet with the cast after was so much fun! The girls loved chatting with each cast member and they were so sweet and patient.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is everything and more. So many small details that only a “Potter Head” would appreciate! From the interactive magic wands, to the Hogwarts express. Our friend let us borrow their magic wands and the girls had so much fun following the map around, casting spells in the windows. I can still taste the butter beer, It was like a butterscotch cream soda. We also watched the triwizard show, which happens a couple times a day, and got to take a picture with the dancers.
We ended our day with some Cinnabon and an ice cold mr pibb in our refillable universal cup. It cost us, $16 and it was free refills all day! There is a baby care center full of family restrooms, changing tables and a nursing room. And the nurses station has cots big enough to change Austin!

They offer an express ticket, that places you in a faster moving line. This is a game changer, and worth every penny on busy days! We only went on a couple rides, but they were able to accommodate Austin and his wheelchair perfectly. Security was a breeze! All bags go through an X-ray, which means fast lines, and the double stroller fit perfectly through the metal detector.
We can’t wait to go back, and cover the lower lot! Which is everything from dinosaurs to the mummy rollercoaster. If you’re coming to Southern California on a family vacation I definitely suggest you add Universal Studios Hollywood to your list of must dos! Head to the website where you can purchase tickets and plan your trip in advance!
