Insider Tips To Know Before You Go To Universal’s Volcano Bay

We visited Volcano Bay as part of the Family Forward Conference, all opinions are my own.  Volcano Bay is Universal Orlando's newest park, making it the third as it joins Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. But this theme park is so different than the other two because it's a full water park with a fun and vibrant polynesian theme. Water is Life. Life is Joy.

In the past we've actually been turned away from hotels for exceeding their 4 person room limit and when we do stay in hotels we almost always have one of the kids on a blow up mattress on the floor.
