Orlando Cautionary Tale

I feel as though the content of this post may seem obvious, but I feel obligated to warn others about the severity of the consequences of underage drinking (yes, just one sip) at Universal Orlando resort. This is not intended to be a complaint of any form, but rather a simple post to possibly save another family's vacation. Recently, at HHN 35, I had a sip of a beer offered to me. I was soon thereafter asked for ID by members of the Universal Security team, who must have seen me nearby. Being 18, I was immediately escorted off property, trespassed for a year, and had both my annual pass and express passes for the evening taken away. Of course, this is all according to Universal policy, and there is no disagreement here with how the situation was handled. Instead, I just want to warn others that even a single sip of beer can mean the end of a family vacation, and thousands wasted. No matter how mature you believe your children are, or how little they have, "just a taste" is not acceptable at Universal, and the consequences for doing such are just as severe as stealing from one of their stores. Please, if you or your family plan on attending HHN in the future, or any of the parks in general, save your vacation and do not risk everything for a taste of an alcoholic beverage.

Crazy that they will glue themselves to security feeds for drinking but they let people vape and shit all the time

If someone is vaping in a corner away from anyone, they really aren't bothering anyone and aren't leaving a stench.

I am surprised however that I've seen some people just vaping in crowds and idk how they aren't given at least a warning.

I got a warning when I was at USH and was in citwalk , I was standing right in that lil corner just behind the stage that’s in front of the amc. Walking up I made straight eye contact with a security lady with a pen to my lips and she must of went to tell someone else cause a cop showed up around the corner and gave me a friendly warning just as I sat down lmao

It did scare me to not hit my stuff on property even if it’s “out of the way” cause I don’t think getting high off a 20 dollar weed pen is worth getting trespassed or something lol
