I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Oh no!

Amateur Traveler episode 637.

Today the Amateur Traveler talks about roller coasters, water rides, and a volcano,

King Kong, Minions, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, as we go to Universal Orlando Resort.

Welcome to the Amateur Traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Let's talk about

Universal. I'd like to welcome the show Eric Stoneowen from Travel Bobo.com that's B-A-B-O-com and Eric has come to talk to us

about Universal Orlando Resort.rik welcome to the show.

Thank you very much, Chris.

And Eric and I have both been on the blog squad for Universal, so let's do the

the disclosure up front there.

Eric was on the blog squad in 2017 and I was this year, which does mean we've gotten

a sponsorship from Universal, but we've also, that means, spent a fair amount of time there

here over the last couple years between us. I've done four trips there and you've done how many.

Wow, I'm probably up to eight or nine the last six years,

so well before my blog squad duties.

I was flying cross country with my kids.

And that's why I wanted to partner with Universal just because it was our favorite

park anyway or anywhere.

We live in California and it's all the way over in Florida but we just love it.

My kids have always loved it.
