Spotlight on Universal's Hard Rock Hotel


The Zip Memory Makers recently took a trip to Universal Orlando and we were fortunate enough to stay at the Hard Rock Hotel. This was a first for most of us and we were not disappointed! From the moment you walk in the doors you have the feeling that you're a VIP. The decor is obviously centered around music but in a tasteful way. There is a lot of attention to detail. In the rooms, for example, there's a mirror on the wall with height marks of famous musicians for you to compare your height to theirs. Speaking of the rooms, the beds are very comfortable, some of the best hotel pillows we've ever encountered! Another plus - there's plenty of space in the rooms!! 
There are great food options at the Hard Rock Hotel...two noteworthy options are The Kitchen
​&​
 BeachClub. The Kitchen serves breakfast, lunch
​& ​
dinner
​&​
 is very family-friendly. No reservations are required, it's a
​casual dining spot with wonderful food! The BeachClub is a great spot for picking-up small plates & delicious drinks all while sitting in the shade with views of the pool! ​
There are two major bonuses to staying at the Hard Rock Hotel. First, is the location. If you walk out of the hotel & toward CityWalk you'll be at the front gate to Universal Studios in five minutes! It's a very easy walk & there's beautiful scenery & landscaping along the way. 

The second major advantage of staying at the Hard Rock Hotel is the Unlimited Express Pass. This is tied to your hotel stay, not your park tickets, & it means that you don't wait in lines while you're in the parks (with the exception of Escape from Gringotts at Universal and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey at Islands of Adventure). With this express pass you are guaranteed to ride everything that you want to ride while you're in the parks, some of them multiple times if you'd like!
​These are obviously just some of the highlights of this Deluxe Hotel on Universal Orlando's property! We would love help you plan your next vacation to Universal Orlando and will be more than happy to share some additional first-hand details with you about this amazing hotel! Keep an eye on our blog for spotlights on some of the other wonderful Resorts that Universal Orlando has to offer. ​

Happy Birthday Mickey!

Did you know today is Mickey's Birthday? Although his personality has evolved and changed over the years, kids' and families' love for Mickey has remained as popular as ever. From being the mischievous and adventurous troublemaker when he was first created, to a lovable, cheerful hero, Mickey has always been known as a universal symbol of friendship and family values. Walt, on his first television show as he surveyed Disneyland said,  "I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing... that it was all started by a Mouse."  This famous Mickey Mouse, made his screen debut on November 18 several decades back as the star of the first sound cartoon, Steamboat Willie, and has, since then, become an indelible icon. He is not only the personification of everything Disney, but also one of the most universal symbols of magical childhood memories for kids across the world. "Mickey is the world's most lovable mouse who epitomizes all that makes Disney special...

The Disney Dream-- A Grand Enterance

I will have to say that my words and pictures will not even give you and idea of how grand this ship is. To be able to smell the newness of this ship is indescribable. So see the grand lobby, the larger than my house chandler, the character carvings in the stair cases, and the beautiful colors, is even overwhelming to me. I have to set the scene for you. We are in the Disney Cruise Terminal, waiting for our assigned letter to be called. As we wait we are greeted by (I will blog about character experiences later) Minnie, Mickey and Goofy. Finally, it is our time to get on this grand ship. We walk up the glass walk way and we hear "The Disney Dream would like to welcome Classic Travel Connection". We all squeal like little girls, and we are here. We are on the newest and best ship in the travel industry. Oh, it is good to be the Zip-a-dee-doo-dah Diva. I love my job!!!
