    If you're a family planning to stay at a universal hotel, only one person in the family needs to have an annual pass in order to get the annual pass discount on the hotel room. The same annual pass can be used for all in-park purchases on food and merch to save even more money. Do the math and you'll be surprised at how quickly you'll make up the purchase cost of the annual pass. It doesn't work for Epic Universe tickets though - only one ticket per annual pass per day is allowed.

    Tip: prioritize rides that may breakdown later, e.g., Hagrid's Motorbike coaster.

    Minor note: Helios grand will also be missing another perk on opening day May 22. Early Entry! Because the hotel is opening on the same day and check in isn’t until the afternoon, guests won’t have early park entry that day! However Stella nova and Terra Luna will still have early park entry!

    My tip: An interactive wand purchased at Universal Studios Orlando will work at Universal Studios Hollywood and vice versa! The maps will be different, but the wands will still work! (Also, I'm so happy that Universal Studios Hollywood is open again after a scary couple of days.)

    International travellers: always use a VPN to buy tickets as if you were in the USA. Universal charges a higher price when you buy internationally.
    Right now, a "2 day + 2 free days" ticket costs $270 in the USA site and $320 in the Brazilian site, for example

    I still haven’t forgiven Universal for their parking lol. Years ago, we were in Orlando, and we were trying to get to the Hard Rock hotel. We made a wrong turn and wound up in the line for Universal parking and we couldn’t turn around. They wouldn’t let us turn around at the gate. We were forced to pay the $30 or whatever it was at the time just to go to the HRH. We had no intention of visiting the park that day. I still want my money back 😂

      I never thought I'd be able to afford it either honestly but the 2 days + 2 days free promo was really helpful. my boyfriend and I are going in March for $2000 and thats flights, hotel, and tickets plus one day of express passes. without the 2 days free it would have been waaay more expensive.

    We gearing up to go in August 2025 but are nervous about the crowd levels. We used to go in Sept before our daughter was born but now she’s older we think a Universal trip is in order. As much as we’d like to do Epic, we think this could be too busy especially if they don’t offer express pass??? Should we stick to the IOA and US?

Another 3 months and then I can move on to the final phase. I've got everything planned out for my park days, including the 2 days I'll be visiting Universal

    I am wondering if there are path shortcuts to Hagrids at EPA (like by Green Eggs & Ham) and if it’s possible (&a good idea) to - while in the EPA line for Hagrids to mobile order breakfast to get the included Butterbeer and have it soon after you finish up Hagrids? With that, on mobile order can you set the order for a specific time?

      Just know that that ticket does NOT include the new park, Epic Universe. You must purchase a one-day admission to Epic on top of the multi day pass. Epic tickets will not be sold separately for the foreseeable future.

    Hey guys, question for the community! We're planning on travelling to Orlando from Australia in September to do Universal and Disney World. Having a look at tickets from here, while the option is available for the bundle tickets with the other parks, it's only currently showing May and June 2025 and won't show any future dates. Is this a known issue or is this just something happening for international guests? Do we have a rough idea as to when September tickets will be available for purchase?

      @karenzarkades1447 3 дня назад

      That's not necessarily true. People who can get cheap flights to FL from home (decreasing the initial costs) get good discounts with even the seasonal (lowest tier) pass. 10% off food in your hotel, 10% off your hotel Starbucks, a percentage off hotel Universal gift shops. Plus special pricing on hotel rooms, which are released frequently and are posted on the annual passholder website. I'm talking $50+ per day discount on your room. The pass pays for itself in a couple trips. In addition, pass holders often get room upgrades, particularly if they tend to go to the same Universal hotel. They also get special deals and discounts every year during Universal passholder appreciation weeks.
