Do you have any tips for visiting Universal Studios? I love the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal. Solarisys/ShutterstockA lot of people think that because Universal Studios is Disney's "competition," they can't ask park employees about it. When I worked at Coronado Springs Resort, I often asked guests about their days when I saw them return to the hotel with Universal Studios bags. As a big "Harry Potter" fan, I enjoy talking about those parks as much as Disney.

SOFIA, Bulgaria (AP) — Romania and Bulgaria partially joined Europe’s ID-check-free travel zone on Sunday, marking a new step in the two countries’ integration with the European Union. After years of negotiations to join the Schengen area, there is now free access for travelers arriving by air or sea from both countries. The Schengen Area was established in 1985. Before Bulgaria and Romania’s admission, it was comprised of 23 of the 27 EU member countries, along with Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. Truck drivers are frequently stuck in kilometers-long queues at the borders of both Romania and Bulgaria.

Buying bottles of water in the parks is a waste of money. I bring my own water bottle to the parks. hurricanehank/ShutterstockInstead of buying water at the parks, I like to bring a reusable bottle that I can easily refill at one of the many water fountains. If you don't have a bottle, any quick-service food location on the property will also be able to give you a free cup of ice water.
