On the last day of Universal Studios Florida&#39;s Halloween event, the lines for the haunted houses were terrifying, 30-45% longer than expected. It was infuriating! Universal sold a huge number of express passes and priority guided tours, leading to a lot of customers cutting in line.

The Halloween atmosphere on night was great, like a giant escape room! The first one or two haunted houses were okay, but after a while, you get used to them and don&#39;t have a strong reaction anymore. The NPCs in the haunted houses wear masks, not makeup, which makes it less authentic.

At Universal Studios, bring a crossbody bag. Small lockers are free, while large lockers cost $3 for 30 minutes.

Don&#39;t come to Universal Studios for Halloween in the last few days&mdash;the lines are outrageous!

I highly recommend Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom, Epcot is also good, Hollywood is the least impressive.

The Magic Kingdom&#39;s fireworks display is spectacular, even on weekdays.

Magic Kingdom, Hollywood, and Epcot all have fireworks shows.

Hollywood has two types of fireworks shows: a Mickey Mouse water show and a fireworks display of the building&#39;s signboard.

Animal Kingdom doesn&#39;t have fireworks; the Tree of Life light show only starts at 8 PM. (See App) Overall, the experience isn&#39;t as good as Tokyo Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland, or Shanghai Disneyland, and I wouldn&#39;t highly recommend it! The ones in Asia are generally better!

I have always longed to be the center of this world&#39;s aerospace technology since I was a child. Today, I finally got my wish and took my family to check in. Although it was slightly less than expected, I was already satisfied.

The all-day meal pass is a great deal; you&#39;ll be stuffed. I ate four meals that day (a la carte prices in the park are much higher, 20%-45% more than at Disneyland). It&#39;s open for 12 hours a day, from 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM. On the day I went, there was a 5-minute fireworks show in the evening, with plenty of fireworks, comparable to Disneyland&#39;s Magic Kingdom.

There are six roller coasters, especially the stand-up roller coaster, which is very fun. Although the roller coasters are very high and the slopes are very steep, the speed actually decreases during the descent, so you won&#39;t experience a strong feeling of weightlessness.

I recommend watching the orca, dolphin, nighttime music show, and ice show &ndash; all are quite good!
