| | AACC Corporate Sponsor News | | Guide to the Holidays at Universal Orlando Resort | |
I have often said that if I could live in a Christmas movie, I totally would. Thankfully, every holiday season I can live out that dream just by visiting Universal Orlando Resort. After the theme parks are cleared of anything resembling Halloween Horror Nights, they’re transformed into a whimsical winter wonderland for a glorious few weeks.
Garland adorns the archways, twinkling lights dance from the palm trees and holiday music can be heard at every turn. The Holidays at Universal Orlando Resort are unlike anything you’ve probably experienced. Yes, there are the holiday elements everyone knows and loves like Christmas trees, festive décor and eggnog — but there are also unique twists that can only be experienced here.
