FAMILY FUN
AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO® RESORT
If you’re thinking about a family fun vacation, Universal Orlando Resort should take a place at the top of your list. The resort features two theme parks – Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure – as well as City Walk, a 30-acre entertainment complex, and the Volcano Bay Water Theme Park.
At Universal Studios Florida theme park, enjoy cutting-edge attractions based on pop-culture icons, blockbuster films and hit television shows that transport visitors into a highly imaginative world where they can become heroes of their own adventure.
One of the biggest attractions at Universal Studios is the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Diagon Alley, where the Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts ride will have you on an adventure to safely return to Diagon Alley. Enter beneath a massive fire-breathing dragon and journey deep underground on this multi-dimensional thrill ride. As you navigate perilous subterranean vaults, you’ll encounter Harry, Ron, and Hermione. But you’ll have to evade the wrath of villains VoldemortTM, Bellatrix, trolls and other creatures that stand between you and a safe return.
Another popular attraction is Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, where you can join Gru, his daughters and the mischievous Minions on an unpredictable ride where you’ll become an actual Minion. But when things don’t go as planned, you’re launched into an unforgettable trip through his super villain laboratory.
At Universal’s Islands of Adventure, the excitement and adventure of the Harry Potter books and films comes to life on Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. Join Hagrid and fly into the Forbidden Forest, beyond the ground of Hogwarts castle, on a thrilling roller coaster ride that plunges into the paths of some of the wizarding world’s rarest magical creatures. When you’ve recovered from the journey, head for the Jurassic Park River Adventure, which will take you on an 85-foot drop on a raft and be faced with a giant T. rex.
In 2022, one of the highlight events at Universal Orlando Resort will be Universal’s Mardi Gras, February 5 through April 24. A family-friendly version of the iconic Big Easy bash, Universal’s Mardi Gras will bring back the event’s most celebrated, fan-favorite experiences to Universal Studios Florida – including its spectacular nighttime parade, live concerts, and more.
Universal Orlando Resort offers a variety of vacation packages. Talk to your AAA travel agent today and get started on having fun.

AVOID LONG AIRPORT LINES
If you don’t like waiting in long airport lines (and who does), consider applying for membership in the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) PreCheck program. This is an expedited security-screening program connecting travelers departing from airports within the United States with smarter security and a better air travel experience.
The TSA PreCheck program is currently available at more than 200 airports with 79 participating airlines nationwide.
Members of the PreCheck program can take advantage of dedicated screening lanes at airports, plus you can keep shoes and light jackets on, and toiletries and laptops stay in bags, so there’s no fumbling around as you approach the conveyor belt.
Kids 12 and under can get PreCheck screening for free as long as they travel with a member parent or guardian. Older kids must enroll on their own.
AAA Schuylkill County will host a temporary TSA PreCheck Enrollment Center
