3 More Things To Bring to Universal Studios

1. Backpack/Fanny Pack: Carrying a small, comfortable bag is essential for a day at Universal Studios. A backpack or fanny pack is perfect for storing your essentials like snacks, sunscreen, and souvenirs. Choose one that's easy to take on and off for rides, and make sure it has secure zippers or closures to keep your items safe while you're enjoying the attractions.

2. Snacks: While there are plenty of food options available in the park, having some small, non-perishable snacks can be a lifesaver. Bring items like granola bars, trail mix, or fruit snacks to keep your energy levels up between meals. This is especially helpful if you have dietary restrictions or want to avoid long lines at food stalls.

3. Hand Sanitizer/Wipes: With so many people touching ride handles and surfaces, keeping your hands clean is important. Pack a small bottle of hand sanitizer and a packet of sanitizing wipes to use throughout the day. This will help you stay healthy and comfortable, especially before eating or after rides. I love Touchland hand sanitizer spray!

When planning a visit to Universal Studios, it's essential to be prepared to make the most of your day. In addition to packing a backpack or fanny pack for convenience, consider the benefits of bringing along multi-functional clothing, such as items that provide sun protection and comfort. You might also want to think about packing reusable water bottles to stay hydrated, as there's often a lot of walking involved and staying hydrated will keep your energy up. Bear in mind that Universal Studios offers limited storage options and security checks, so lightweight and secure bags are a must. Also, when it comes down to snacks, be mindful of the food preferences of your group, catering to allergens or dietary restrictions, which may help streamline your meals in the park. Lastly, while hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes are crucial for hygiene, don't forget to check park guidelines for any health safety protocols in place during your visit. With the ever-changing situation, prepared visitors can enjoy a more liberating experience at theme parks. Make sure to check on the latest guidelines and updates on social media or the official Universal Studios website to avoid any surprises!
