New Year’s Day at Universal? Yes, please.
After stacking up those park miles all week, we kicked off January 1 with a slightly later start — 10 AM gate entry — ready for a day that leaned less on coaster chaos and more on immersive shows, more magic, and experiences people often walk right past.
Because sometimes the real magic isn’t the longest line in the park — it’s the thing hiding in plain sight. Like Voodoo Donuts - we walked by so many days, and today was the day. AMAZING - they have such a wonderful variety and good coffee to boot. We started the day on a fabulous sugar high.
