Universal Orlando Days 6-9: EPIC Lightning Storm + Volcano Bay is a MUST DO!

Days 6-9 of our Universal Orlando challenge bring an unexpected light show, a visit to Volcano Bay, and our honest review of Burger King at CityWalk! We continue our experiment to see if Universal Orlando can provide enough entertainment for a full 2-week family holiday.

Day 7 highlights: We test our evening park strategy, enjoying shorter queues and cooler temperatures at Universal Studios. We ride Transformers, Rip Ride Rockit, Revenge of the Mummy, and Escape from Gringotts, all with minimal wait times. Then, Mother Nature puts on a spectacular lightning storm that rivals the Disney fireworks!

Day 9 adventures: We spend the day at Universal's water park, Volcano Bay. We experience the wave pool, the incredible Fearless River, and share our essential tips for visiting, including why you need pool shoes and how the Freestyle cups work.

This isn't sponsored content - we're showing you the real experience of visiting Universal Orlando, from the benefits of the Attraction Assistance Pass to the reality of ride closures and Florida weather.
