It’s another perfect day here at the Universal Orlando Resort. After a busy weekend in the parks, we’re looking forward to lower crowds today. Let’s make our way over to Islands of Adventure first and see what’s happening.

Popeye and Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges just reopened after being closed for scheduled maintenance, and now Dudley Do-Right’s Rip Saw Falls is closed for refurbishment.

UOAP Freestyle cups are now buy one, get one free. Unfortunately, the regular Freestyle cups are not eligible for this offer. Just another perk for being an Annual Passholder!

We stopped into Mythos Restaurant and had lunch. You already know we went for the Knife, Fork, and Spoon Grilled Cheese Sandwich, but we also tried the Mediterranean Octopus Salad.

Another prop from the Holiday Tribute Store has found its way over to the Port of Entry Christmas Shoppe. It’s really nice to see these items getting reused in another location.

The low crowds and beautiful weather were great this afternoon.

Over at Universal Studios Florida, a lot of people were enjoying the Mardi Gras offerings, especially the beads. You can never have too many beads!

Chez Alcatraz has a special Annual Passholder cocktail available called the Caribbean Berry Cooler. Stay tuned for our full review!

Enjoying a relaxing afternoon wandering around the park.

That’s all for this visit to the Universal Orlando Resort. Thanks for joining us today and be sure to stay tuned for more updates from WDWNT and Universal Parks News Today.
