Three parks. One plan that actually works.

With three theme parks, we recommend at least one full day per park, and a full day for Epic Universe, which is too big to treat as a half day. Many families add a fourth day to revisit favorites. You can enjoy one park in a day, but you won't be able to experience all of Universal Orlando in a single day. We'll recommend a plan based on your family's ages, interests, and pace.

Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel, and Loews Royal Pacific Resort include Universal Express Unlimited for each registered guest, valid at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure from check-in day through check-out day. Park tickets are still required.

It depends on your travel dates, how long you're staying, and your must-do rides. During busy seasons, Express can save hours of waiting. Sometimes staying at one of the three hotels that include Express Unlimited is a better value than buying Express separately. We'll compare both options for your dates.

No. The Express Unlimited benefit included with select Universal hotels is valid only at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. Express access for Epic Universe is sold separately. We'll help you decide whether it's worth adding for your dates.

It depends on the ticket. Some Universal Orlando tickets include Epic Universe and others don't, so it's important to know which parks your ticket covers before you go. We'll help you choose the ticket that includes every park your family wants to visit.

Epic Universe has five themed worlds: Celestial Park, the central hub; The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic; SUPER NINTENDO WORLD; How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk; and Dark Universe.

They're different experiences. Universal is known for thrill rides and immersive worlds like Harry Potter, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, and Jurassic World, and its parks are close together. Walt Disney World is larger, with four theme parks and a wide range of experiences for young children. Many families choose both in one trip, and we'll help you decide how many days to spend at each, where to stay, and how to plan the transition.

Yes. Younger families love DreamWorks Land and Minion Land at Universal Studios Florida, Seuss Landing at Islands of Adventure, and How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk at Epic Universe. Many attractions have minimum height requirements, and some have test seats at the entrance, so we'll help you plan around the rides that fit your children's heights.

Yes. The Hogwarts Express travels between Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida and Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure, so you'll need a park-to-park ticket to ride.

Guests staying at Universal Orlando Resort hotels can enter select theme parks up to one hour before the general public. It's one of the best ways to enjoy popular rides with shorter waits.

Crowds at Universal Orlando follow school schedules and holidays, so weeks when most children are in school tend to be less busy. Your best dates depend on your family's schedule, the events you'd like to see, and the weather you prefer. We'll help you choose dates that balance crowds, cost, and timing.

Yes. Universal Orlando hosts seasonal celebrations throughout the year, including Mardi Gras early in the year and Halloween Horror Nights on select fall nights (a separate ticket is required for Halloween Horror Nights). Ask us which events are happening during your travel dates.
