72 hours! That’s all you have to book three nights at the Universal’s newest resort, Cabana Bay Beach Resort, for $99 with two free adult Blue Man Group tickets and a free suite upgrade*! (* see The Very Bottom.)
There are many ways to enjoy your Orlando vacation – but there is only one Universal Orlando Resort. See all you can do in 72 hours!
72 Hours at Universal Orlando® Resort
So we’ve given you 72 hours to book 72 hours in Universal Orlando® Resort (for travel now through Feb. 12), so what can you do in 72 hours at Universal Studios Florida® and Universal’s Islands of Adventure®?
Discounting sleep, wait time, food, and generally anything else other than riding the rides:
Soar on Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit® or roar with The Incredible Hulk Coaster® 1080 times!
Hulk SMASH 1080 times!
Challenge the dragon on Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts™ 960 times!
Ride the Hogwarts Express and Revenge of the Mummy® 864 times respectively or 432 times collectively! (I’ve ridden Mummy seven times in the row and 15 times over a two-day period, so…not that close.)
Disobey your professors on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™ 720 times!
Swing from skyscraper to skyscraper with The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man® 617.14 times! (I wouldn’t go that last .14 if I were you.)
Join Spider-Man 617.14 times in 72 hours (if you dare)!
Head into Springfield for The Simpsons Ride™ or battle in the Triwizard Tournament with Dragon Challenge™ 540 times!
Plunge down 8 stories with Jurassic Park River Adventure® 480 times! (You scream and scream, and when you’re finishing screaming, you’re still falling!)
Experience Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem 308.57 times! (Not quite sure how the .57 times will pan out, but I’m guessing the ride attendants will let you finish that last adventure.)
The 308th time is the charm on Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem at Universal Orlando Resort!
Relive your childhood on One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish™; The Cat in the Hat™; and The High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train™ 270 times!
Ride it out with TWISTER® 240 times!
Journey to Far Far Away 216 times with Shrek 4-D!
Survive Disaster! ℠ – A Major Motion Picture Ride…Starring YOU 172.8 times! (Sorry about that last .2.)
Fun outside of the parks
Of course, if you decide not to ride the world-class attractions for 72 hours straight (which is actually impossible due to theme park hours and, you know, the laws of physics), then check out the lazy river, bowling alley, and family suites that sleep up to six at the new Cabana Bay Beach Resort!
Lazy river, anyone? Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach Resort has Universal Orlando Resort’s first!
