OMG!  Less than TWO weeks to go until Universal-w00t! I ended up moving around my DTD day in order to do a DIS meet.  I’ve also added lunch at Emeril’s Tchoup Chop to my agenda.  I may be canceling my Paradisio 37  reservation as I’ll be using my OpenTable check to fund the lunch, I [...]

I’m tracking the rates for the Hyatt MCO on Hotwire for my August Universal Orlando trip, but I am hesitant to pull the trigger until my vacation time at work is finalized.  However, it appears I have a very good chance of getting the Hyatt for $69 for the night. I called them today to [...]

// For my late arrival when I go to Universal this summer, I’d been debating between an off-site hotel near Universal, or an airport hotel.  On my trip to Universal in 2008, I stayed at the airport Hyatt via Hotwire and loved it.
