Family travel news: Universal Orlando

Universal Orlando is a major draw for families, with two theme parks --Islands of Adventure, and Universal Studios Florida-- plus entertainment zone CityWalk and three top resorts.

The theme parks are known for thrill rides, but offer plenty for little kids too: such as Seuss Landing in Islands of Adventure.

Delightful as Seuss Landing is, in the past visitors may have wondered: what's with that cute track overhead? Looks like it should be a ride... but it isn't.

Well, finally it is: see photos of the High In The Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride, with opening date June 22 2006.

Universal Orlando has some great deals this summer: Kids Play Free when parents buy the popular 2-day 2-park pass; Kids Stay, Play and Eat free with vacation packages; and more.
