Loews Royal Pacific Resort

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures


Loews Royal Pacific Resort @universalorlandohotels was such a beautiful resort 🌴

.

It made us feel like we were stepping into a tropical getaway. The grounds, hotel lobby and rooms were absolutely beautiful. 

We loved the layout of the room and all the special touches . We had a two queen room that said slept 5 but it really only slept 4 with a chair that no one could sleep in . So that was a bummer but thankfully they have rollaway you can add .

We also really loved the text to housekeeping. It was such a wonderful way to communicate what we needed , and it was delivered right to our room and  left outside door . We really appreciated this feature and totally think more hotels should do this. 

There were a few reason we choose to stay on property . The location of being able to walk to @unistudios and the free transportation was one of the main reasons we choose this specific hotel. We didn’t want to have to pay parking and we really didn’t want to have to drive . 

.

We also knew we wanted to purchase the unlimited pass to walk onto rides. We were there for only two days and didn’t want to miss anything . The value of the passes completely makes it worth it! The passes are usually around $129 per person so it was over a $600 value for our family for free! 

.

By staying on property, we also got a few other perks like early admission and several fun ways of transportation that were connected and easily accessible. We would definitely stay here again 🌴

In any war, there are calms between storms. There will be days when we lose faith. Days when our allies turn against us…but the day will never come that we forsake this planet and its people.

Gringotts Bank Notes

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures


Enter, stranger, but take heed

Of what awaits the sin of greed,

For those who take, but do not earn,

Must pay most dearly in their turn,

So if you seek beneath our floors

A treasure that was never yours,

Thief, you have been warned, beware

Of finding more than treasure there.

.

Thankfully , you can get your very own Gringotts bank notes by exchanging your muggle money in increments of 10$ or 20$ at the Gringotts Bank @unistudios . You can use the bank notes throughout the parks or keep them as souvenirs .

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know , The motto of Gringotts Wizarding Bank was Fortius Quo Fidelius, a Latin phrase that meant “Strength through loyalty”?

Gringotts Bank

“Never mess with goblins, Harry. Gringotts is the safest place in the world fer anything yeh want ter keep safe — ‘cept maybe Hogwarts.”

                                             💰RUBEUS HAGRID

If you want to visit a Gringotts Bank then you will have to head to @unistudios .

Then head over to Diagon Alley . 

.

When you walk in you are greeted by a Gringotts Goblin. You have the opportunity to buy some fun Gringotts money or to exchange your muggle money for Gringotts money to use throughout Universal. You can even buy a Niffler to help protect your coins.


The Universal Creative teams did an amazing job at bringing the bank to life. There are so many fun details throughout. 


A bit of fan history about Gringotts, It was the only wizarding bank in Great Britain.It was founded in 1474 by a goblin named Gringott.

.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know that Gringotts Goblins are the ones who cast coins, armor and other metal objects?

The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen @universalcitywalk is such a fun experience. There are so many fun details and a bit of steampunk whimsy adds to the charm.


So many options of treats that everyone is bound to find a fav. One of my favorites was the assortment of macarons they offered. Definitely a place to spend some time taking it all in.

The Knight Bus Character Meet @ Universal Orlando

redeemingbeautyfamilyadventures

The Knight Bus @universalorlando was one of our favorite character meetups. The bus conductor was so friendly and would pull you into conversation with him and the shrunken head. It was hard to walk away because we enjoyed it so much✨
.
He did a wonderful job chatting with my youngest through mermaid talk all because she was wearing a mermaid jacket . Check out our stories on Instagram below to see the mermaid talk✨
