| Re: Universal Guidebook Kim, I don't know of a guidebook devoted specifically to Universal, but the "Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World" by Bob Sehlinger does have a section for the Universal Parks. Here are a few websites you might want to check out: www.ioacentral.com http://www.themeparks.com/unifl/default.htm http://www.yourmagicaljourneys.com/universal.htm Also, there are several Universal trip reports on the passporter boards. I'll try to bump them up for you! Have a great time! Universal is great fun!   |

| Re: Universal Guidebook For the betterment of society I will yet again make a huge sacrifice and offer my services for Passporter Universal whenever J&D might be willing to help write it! It's a tough job, but someone has to do it! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] In all seriousness, as Universal expands into an even more major contender, I think that the guide books out there for it are lacking! Michelle & Nancy gave you some great sites and we spent a week there in July 2002 at the Hard Rock so if you have any specific questions - there are quite a few of us who love Universal just about as much as Disney!

| Re: Universal Guidebook I picked up a guide book for Universal that was great and written by Kim Wright Wiley. You should be able to find it in all the major book stores. I think it was titled Universal Orlando With Kids 2003, but I'm not 100% on that. Its at home and I'm at work, so hard to check. The descriptions of attractions were great in this book. Not sure if they had touring plans, or not. Have fun!!! [img]graemlins/usa.gif[/img] |

| Re: Universal Guidebook Nancy, I went to the book site, intrepid traveler and they are running special sales on their books, the price for the Universal Book plus an Orlando book and a Disney guide book are around $30.00 with shipping. Thanks again so much, I'm ordering the 3 pack. Kim [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] |
