USS Treated Me Like a Queen (Megatron Didn’t) 😅

Did you know that if you tell Universal Studios it’s your birthday… you basically become royalty?

Last month, my husband secretly planned a birthday staycation and a surprise trip to USS and I had zero idea what was coming.

Turns out, if the characters know it’s your birthday, the Minions sing to you and everyone hugs you like you’re the main character (because, obviously, you are hehe). 💛

Who knew being a year older came with theme park superpowers? 🦸‍♀️🎂

Well… except Megatron.

He took one look at me and said:

“I don’t care that it’s your birthday.”

The villain arc was strong…. and hilarious. Lol!

Keep scrolling to see the very magical, slightly chaotic, and totally unforgettable day. ✨

I’m about to say something that might be a little controversial…

I actually did enjoy my birthday at USS a lot. I really didn’t expect to.

Back in March, we went to Disneyland to celebrate Bobby’s birthday, and I have to admit, there was a part of me that felt quietly jealous watching him get all the special treatment - all the characters wishing him happy birthday, all the little moments of magic just for him.

I thought going to USS for my own birthday would feel like a smaller version of that, something less special somehow. But I was so wrong.

Not only did the cast members wish me happy birthday, they went out of their way to sing and dance for me too. It was unexpectedly heartwarming. Psst! A full-length vlog coming soon!

And here’s the part I never thought I’d say - I think this might have been even better than Disneyland. Maybe because I went in with no expectations, or maybe because it just felt so genuine.

I would honestly love to come back here to celebrate my birthday every year.

Big shoutout to my husband for being the best surprise planner ever 💐

And of course, Jovet and Angie for dressing me like a birthday princess on vacation mode.

This vest I’m wearing? Jovet. And yes - I felt cute all day. ☀️

Your friend,
