Welcome!
Hi everyone! I'm Melissa, a 22-year old born and raised New Yorker who loves all things Orlando. My family and I will be spending two weeks in central Florida this coming August, with a full week at the Universal parks. I previously had a huge, 75-page long pre-trip report for this trip over on the Disney trip reports board, but once plans were changed I decided to start over on this thread. Hopefully some of my friends from the old thread will come join me over here, and some new Universal fans will also read along! I'm going to use this first post as a sort of table of contents for the pre-trip and eventual trip-report, and will start in the next post. I've decided to keep this report about the trip. In my last report I had lots of non-trip related pictures and stories, but those are going to stay on my blog. If you're interested, you can find it HERE. Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy!
