Leslie United States of America

There was so much to do at this resort, it was almost better to hang out here than to be at universal studios. lol. They have 2 pools, one with a giant slide. The other with a lazy river. There were 2 fire pits that they sold smores kits to use at. They had an indoor bowling alley, which was convenient, and a gift store that was huge! The gift store sold universal gear like harry potter robes and wands, backpacks, and a bunch of clothes and souvenirs.
