At Islands of Adventure, we spotted the trolley making a lap on the purple track and discovered that the Beach side of the attraction has reopened. Did you know this attraction has two train tracks that tell different stories and take you on a different path? This track had been closed due to the Caro-Seuss-el refurbishment but is now open for the peak holiday season. Now we can get a better view of what’s happening with Caro-Seuss-el.

It’s funny how early in the morning, you can be stuck in a large crowd one minute and then turn a corner and wonder where everyone went. We always recommend people get to the parks early!

As we entered Universal Studios Florida, we saw that the popcorn stand with caramel and cheddar popcorn has reopened. Unfortunately, they don’t have the flavored popcorn yet, but it should be available soon. You can find caramel corn at the popcorn cart at the exit of Islands of Adventure, too.
