Hello everybody!

I hope that you all are having a fantastic Holiday Season and know that there is a lot that offers to do for the Holidays! As a Team Member, I have loved getting to work with my incredible VIP (and Park Services) Team and I was even been able to have my family get to experience the wonderful festive entertainment/dining!

First off, working with him almost every night, I can 100% say that the Santa that we have for our VIP tours is the real Santa Clause...he is absolutely incredible wih his interactions and makes every Guest truly feel the Holiday Spirit! Thus, I had to make him out of balloons for him and his incredible Entertainment Team! My team also got together to do a Cookie Crawl aka bring your favorite cookies (mine are German Lebkuchen and Snickerdoodle)!

Since I am working on actual Christmas Day (my family will be having a Christmas breakfast) we decided to go to NBC Grill and Brew at ! The food was fantastic (the giant pretzel was the fan favorite of the night) and we got to see Lily hilariously eating flatbread Pizza!

In addition, we were able to visit The "Green and Red Coconut Club" and see Earl the Squirrel's Tree Farm! The Theming at the club was truly on point with there even being a fake ski lift, a multitude of Trees and a live band!

So I can definitely say that I truly have had a fantastic time working and playing at Universal...and my family and I wish all of you a Happy Holiday Season!

Hello everybody!

I hope that all of you are doing well, I had an event I did recently with the Birchmore as a balloon making elf for the City of Winter Garden. I did the event with the help of my friend Nikiya and we were able to make many people smile while they waited to meet Santa!

Together we were able to make many amazing families smile for the holidays! We hope that you all have a wonderful day, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

"Good News" everybody!

Yesterday was an eventful for me, a day of both immense joy and melancholy...yesterday was my last official mini set of days back to Citywalk at Universal Studios to see my amazing Park Services Team and also the premiere of WICKED The Musical movie before I went back to complete my a temporary assignment for Universal Orlando Resort VIP! So as a result and a way to say thank you to my incredible team, I wanted to make a balloon of Elphaba and Glinda from the new movie (which I will be seeing the movie tomorrow with my wifey)!

Each "Gravity Defying" witch took two hours each to make and used around 90 balloons altogether. They were exceedingly fun and they both have a home with Citywalk and with Cinemark as well, both places that I have fond memories of! In addition, my wifey and I saw the new experience in Universal and it was truly...Wicked (make sure to definitely try the Ozvacado Toast)!

So to everyone here, as The Great and Powerful Oz says, I hope you all have a "Wonderful" day!

Hello everybody!

I wanted to take this time and post the last three awesome balloons that I had made for my time at Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Orlando as a part of VIP (RIP for the season). I loved being a part of the incredible event and getting to make people smile everyday of the event. I also wish to apologize for it taking some time to get these balloons out to post, but I am hoping thaylt you all like them! Thus without further adieu, these are the last three balloons from Halloween Horror Nights that I made!

1. Incidious: The Red Faced Demon balloon was exceedingly fun to make and I actually was able to present it to the cast as well. This balloon represents my father-in-law's favorite house, indeed the most terrifying house of the year, Incidious!

2. A Quite Place: This balloon represents the Death Angles from one of my favorite houses of HHN, A Quite Place! I loved getting to see the performers use the ASL throughout the experience and the Death Angle Puppets weee absolutely incredible!

3. Nightmare Fuel: Nocturnal Circus-The Fortune Teller Aerialist. This show was absolutely insane, with its story, magnificent pyrotecnic performance art, amazing music and phenominal entertainers, the show completely wowed me and my wifey! The highlight of the show was seeing the Fortune Teller character doing mind blowing stunts, hanging from her hair! Thus, she had to be made as a balloon as well!

(This is a video of her in action)

I hope that you all had as wonderful of a time at HHN as I had and I look forward to seeing all of you at Citywalk for a few weeks...and then for the Hoilday Season in just a few weeks!

With all of the awesome things coming to Universal Orlando Resort , I hope that you all have an Epic Day!

Hello everybody!

When my wifey and I went to Halloween Horror Nights her favorite house eneded up being The Museum: Deadly Exhibits and as a result, I knew that I needed to make a balloon representing this amazing house! The actual detail in the house, the costumes and the sets were fantastic, but the part that left the biggest impact on us was seeing the beautiful glowing masks and the mask scare actor!

Thus I made a balloon of the glowing mask in The Museum: Deadly Exhibits and I even used mini lights to make it glow. In addition I was also able to meet one of the actors who protrays the Glowing Mask and get a picture with the incredible backdrop for the Haunted House!

So I hope that all of you have a wonderful night and I have two (potentially 3) more balloons coming up before the end of HHN to recognize the incredible scare actors for this magnificent event!

See you all "Where Horror Lives"!

Hello everybody!

I have had a few exceptionally exciting weeks involing HHN and espeically my second favorite house, Slaughter Sinema 2! Slaughter Sinema 2 is a love letter to all B-Movies and since some of my favorite films are B-Movies, I love it even more. I was able to make a balloon of the Punk Rock Skeleton from the house for the incredible cast and they absolutely loved it! They even had me get a picture in front of the awesome entrance (with Heavy Metal Hell 3D playing in the background)!

Along with this, I was also able to take my Father-in-Law to and we had an incredible time! We got to do all ten houses (his favorite was Incidious), see all of the scarezones And he absolutely loved it since this was his very first Halloween Horror Nights!

Along with this I have received numerous wonderful gifts from the gueats including a multiple bracelets Related to Halloween Horror Nights And even a lego with shark teeth put inside of it (its my favorite so far)!
I even got to try and exceedingly yummy Food item from the Carey Drive-In food booth (the Vegan Walking Taco is wonderful)!

I hope that you all have a wonderful night and if any of you visit Universal during the Spooky Season, then Happy Halloween Horror Nights to all of you!

Hello everybody!

I am having a wonderful time at Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Orlando and have gotten the oppertunity to make many Guests of RIP smile! I had an especially unique chance to do so recently by making a balloon that represented my favorite character from the Haunted House, Goblin's Feast (Slaughter Sinema 2 is my close second). I made my favorite character from the House, The Host Goblin and I got to bring it to the House attendants/cast and they absolutely loved it!

If you have attended the event and seen Goblin's Feast, you would see why I love it so much! The sets are gorgeous complete with a large scale goblin statue and water wheel, the setting (despite the fact that we are indeed the most important part of the Feast) is whimsical and cast does an incredible job of portraying the various types of goblins (once again the Host Goblin is so entertaining). In addition, there are also some wonderful food options related to House, including the Harrisa BBQ Turkey Wing (the wing was spicy, sweet and had the bone sticking out, it looked so cool) and the Goblin Pie (definitely a good on the go item at the event)!

Another thing that I love about the House is that there is a special pharse you can say to people who have seen the House...Thus, to wish all of you a fantastic Spooky Season and yo say thank you to the people who have gifted me bracelets during their tours...

"A Good Goblin's Feast to you!"

Hello everybody!

Something exceedingly awesome just happened two days ago...I got the Bravo Award from my Team in Park Services!! The Bravo Award is given to the Team Members who go above and beyond to help their team and the guests, it is one of the biggest awards that a Team Member can be honored with because you must be voted on by people not only within your department, but outside of your department...and I cannot believe I was actually nominated!

Upon as part of recieving the award, I was given multiple prizes including my own parking space with my name on it for a month! This will make my commute to work easier during my HHN season! Along with this, even with me already being at HHN, my Supervisors came to visit me and I got a picture not only with them (Justin, Amanda and Tomas) but with some of the people that have been most helpful to me in my new position (Spike and Evelyn)!

I am excited to continue my journey with Universal and I know that this is a good sign for many wonderful opportunities to come!q

Have an Epic Day everyone!

Hello everybody!

While the training and learning of immense amounts of information has a been a daughting task, I can happily say that it has been very much worth it and I have had a fantastic time absorbing our info in unique ways! I am loving being an RIP Tour Guide for Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Orlando and I absolutely love my team! They have been their to help me learn as much knowledge as I could in the most fun ways imaginable. I have made many new friends and have gotten to see some of the most incredible behind the scenes aspects of this yearly event. While there is still much to learn, I know that my phenominal team of fellow Tour Guides will be able to help me in any way they can!

I want to thank a few of them for their efforts in helping me throughout my training, including Vincent, Jenn, Adam, Jordan and Dani (May The Black Phone from The Black Phone live on) for their their incredible training experiences! In addition, my new friends Natile, James, Chelbrena, Chris, Summer and E'Monique have been incredible with assisting me with studying and for just being people I could talk to!

I have done my first tour on Team Member Preview Night and I am looking forward to seeing all of your during this HHN season!

Have a wonderful evening and I'll see you all at the place "Where Horror Lives"!

Hello everybody!

I wanted to take some time to reflect on my time with Universal Orlando Resort at Citywalk...Yesterday was my last day working at Citywalk and tomorrow I will start my training as a VIP Tour Guide for Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Orlando . While there have been many ups and downs, I have absolutely loved being with my team, my friends at City Walk. They helped make everyday a truly fun experience with their collective positive attitudes and their willingness to handle any task they were given. They have helped me learn and adapt to many new and challenging situations, in addition, they have also given me many incredible memories.

From getting the chance to see Dreamworks Land early, to hanging out with my lead Moses (with my wifey, my babes and his lady), seeing everyone at a Christmas Party, to winning multiple Guest Service Awards and getting my 1 year pin...I truly have had a phenomial time with my Team and I will miss them. While this is a temporary assignment and I could come back to Park Services at City Walk at the end of the Holiday Season (I am hopeful that a full-time oppertunity will become available)...I will make sure to look for the numerous upcoming "Epic" opportunities this company has to offer.

Which reminds me...
I decided to fabricate a balloon of Slimer from Ghost Busters, not only because he is hilarious and there will be a new Ghost Busters: Frozen Empire house at Halloween Horror Nights, but I made it for the legacy that the Ghost Busters films have made...and the lasting legacy that Park Services has had on me. Universal Studio's founder, Carl Laemmle once said "...with your help, Univesal will always be a Leader."

And thus, I will do everything I can to apply the lessons I learned from Park Services to do my best, search for new ways to make people smile and continue to represent Universal's 100+ year legacy in any way I can!

I look forward to my training and seeing all of you on an RIP tour at Halloween Horror Nights, "Where Horror Lives!"

Hello everybody!

I have an amazing announcement to share with everyone...as of yesterday, I am officially a VIP Tour Guide for Universal Orlando Resort and Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Orlando !

I will be starting close to the end of August and I am so unbelieveably excited to start. For those who do not know, this is one of my Universal Dream Jobs as I absolutely LOVE learning about Theme Parks and helping people have the best day they can! While this is a temporary assignment (from August to December) I am hopeful that there will be many oppertunities in the future. As a huge fan of immersive storytelling...I am looking forward to learning as much as I can about the fascinating new Houses for HHN (A Quite Place, Eternal Bloodlines, Goblins Feast and Monstruos being my most anticipated)!

There were many hours of prep for my audition, many hours of research on the subject I used (we were asked to tell about my favorite movie and how it effected my life) and I can in all honesty say...with hard work, dreams can indeed come true!

So my friends, thank you all for believing in me and thank you to all the Team Members from Park Services who encouraged me and helped me prepare.

I look forward to seeing all of you at Universal Halloween Horror Nights, Where Horror Lives!

P.S. My favorite House last year was Dueling Dragons (With The Darkest Deal being my close second place House) and as a result I made a balloon of that House! Whatever ends up being my favorite House, I will also make a balloon for representing this year!

Hello everybody!

officially announced the final land of Epic Universe, The Ministry of Magic! This land will feature life sized buildings from 1920s Wizarding Paris (plus an amazing stage show) and a massive new ride where Umbridge will be the villian escaping her trial!

I am exceptionally excited about this land as my wifey and I have a long history with Harry Potter, I have made multiple balloon cosplays from the series and I even made balloons at our Harry Potter Wedding!

I cannot wait to explore this incredible land with my family next year!

Also...they released this info on Harry Potter's actual birthday!

Hello everybody!

I got to see park of the Olympic Opening Ceramonies and I wilp definitely say that was incredible in every way! Her singing, inspite of the rain and way that the Efflie Tower looked was just incredible! I am looking forward to seeing the Break Dancing Competition as well as many others! And there was even a special new flavor for Powerade that I really enjoyed and due to my excitement for seeing the , I made a balloon of the NBC Logo!

So I hope that you all have a wonderful day and try to find moments to share kindness with other awesome people that you know, or do not know!

Hello everybody!

I had a fantastic event at the Disney's Dolphin Resort, making balloons for a massive Super Hero themed event! While I was not able to get every picture (there was definitely a lot of people wanting balloons but me and were able to make everyone smile)! We even got a chance to pose with some of the awesome displays!

Doing Disney events are always exceedingly fun and we are looking forward to doing many more in the future!

Hello everybody!

I had a phenominal time making balloons for the families of the company Airbus! They were so kind, patient and had some of the best requests (Scorbunny, Thomas the Tank Engine Hat and Ariel were some favorites of mine) and on top of that they fed me exceedingly delicous Bao Buns (definitely check out )! I loved getting to talk with the Team and I felt honored to be a part of a day giving back to the families that work so hair there!

I hope that all of you have a wonderful day!

Hello everybody!

I reached a new milestone for Universal Orlando Resort this week...I officially earned my 1 year pin! Throughout the year I encountered many highs and lows, I got to know my amazing team, I got to assist numerous memorable visitors to the parks, be a part of both Halloween Horror Nights - Universal Orlando and Mardi Gras... and even learn of many epic oppertunities in the future. I was not the only one celebrating a service anniversary, and getting to meet so many fantastic Team Members truly brought a smile to my face (I should have the complete picture available soon). I especially loved the chance to hang out with my friend Sean who was also recieving his service pin.

I love my little Minion Pin, my golden 1 year symbol of awesomeness! I loved it so much that I made a golden balloon Minion, my way of saying thank you to my exceedingly helpful team. You could even say, my fellow Team Members set the Universal Gold Standard for keeping everything in Citywalk looking its best and they indeed, "One in a Minion"!

My fellow Team Members, Leads, Team Captains and Supervisors, thank you for all you do to make my job a universe of phenominal experiences.

Hello everybody!

A few days ago an fantastic new announcement was made by for Epic Universe...they fully revealed Dark Universe! This new expansive themed area will breathe new life into the classic Universal Monsters including Frankenstein's Monster, The Wolfman, Phantom of the Opera and of course...Dracula! I loved the new look of his redesign so much that I wanted to make him in balloon form. As you can tell, I am exceedingly excited about this new land (especially the new Monster's Unchained Ride and getting to see the original characters, including Dr. Victoria Frankenstein) and I am looking forward to hearing more amazing announcements from Universal!

Also I had a wonderful time at the Universal Resource Day they had for me and my fellow Team Members! I met a lot of new contacts from Career Networks and I was even given some help with applying for various new positions opening for Epic Universe next year. I also got to see Safety Man, our back of house Safety Mascot!

So I will definitely say, there is a lot to be excited about in the future and I cannot wait to see all that will be coming to our Universe!
