“Universal Hideaway” – Where the Wi-Fi’s strong and the dad jokes are stronger
Took the fam on a Universal Studios getaway—me (resident dad and snack carrier), my wife (planner, packer, and voice of reason), our son (energy level: Hulk mode), and his aunt (aka the cool one with all the theme park hacks). We stayed at the Universal Hideaway, and let me tell you—it was the perfect launchpad for our adventure. 10/10, no “sore feet left behind.”Location:So close to Universal, I almost walked there in my Crocs just to prove a point. (Wife said no. She was right.) Warner Bros is practically your neighbor. It’s like Hollywood moved in next door and said, “Hey, wanna borrow a cup of movie magic?”The Space:One bedroom, one bathroom, 850 square feet of “everyone has a spot to put their stuff without stepping on someone else’s stuff.” My wife and I took the bed, the aunt and our son had the living room sleep setup—and miraculously, nobody complained. (Well, except when the kid realized the wand he bought doesn’t do laundry.)With a quick trip on Instacart I fully stocked the kitchen and we cooked breakfast every morning, which is code for “I made coffee and watched everyone else cook.” There’s even a grill out back if you’re feeling brave. I planned to BBQ, but after Universal, my legs staged a protest.Washer/Dryer:A hero. After a churro mishap and an unfortunate butterbeer explosion, it saved our clothes—and our dignity.Parking:Easy and available. I parked on the first try, which officially makes this a magical property.Verdict: 10/10 Will BeBack!!
