Attendees will start the evening with a private reception and dinner party at the Groove lounge in City Walk. The event will move to Universal Studios Island of Adventure where we will end the evening with private access to Marvel Super Hero Island. There will be many opportunities for fun and entertainment, even for those who are not thrill seekers!
