Universal Orlando

Let's get down to it. You're excited and raring to go on what will undoubtedly be your family's best vacation ever! We at Universal Orlando® Resort can't wait to meet you all, and wish the best of times for you to come. To ensure the frowns stay upside down, here's a checklist we've put together for you.

Here are a few suggestions to help you get the most out of your Universal Orlando visit.

Purchase a multi-day ticket - We've got two amazing theme parks full of thrills and excitement. You'll want to spend at least a full day at Universal Studios®, where you can experience the wild and hilarious The Simpsons Ride®, take your music for a rideSM on Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit®, and zap aliens on Men in Black™ Alien Attack™. Over at Universal's Islands of Adventure spend a day, swing high above the streets on the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man®, plunge down an 85 ft. drop as your escape the jaws of a T-Rex on Jurassic Park River Adventure® and fly along side Harry Potter™ on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™.

Add park-to-park access - If you only have one day purchase a ticket with park-to-park access to experience the best of both Universal Studios® and Universal's Islands of Adventure®.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ - We recommend you visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter early in the day to avoid the largest crowds. On certain days the park may institute a Return Time Ticket system enabling you to pick up a free ticket in the park to gain entry to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter later in the day.

Dress for the Weather - It may be Florida, but it can still get chilly in January and February. Check Orlando's weather forecast online before you make your trip. Even if it's warm during the day, nighttime temperatures can drop significantly.
