Universal Studios Orlando Tickets 2023 & 2024 Guide

The Universal Orlando Resort operates three theme parks in Orlando; Universal Studios, the roller-coaster park Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay water park which replaces Wet n’ Wild. There is also the music and entertainment venue, Universal CityWalk®. Universal Studios Orlando tickets are available from one to five-day tickets for either one, two or three parks. If you wish to visit more than one park in a day then you need to choose the “park-to-park” option.

Like Walt Disney World, Universal operate seasonal pricing. If you are a Florida resident, you can often get discounts and special privileges with a Florida resident’s ticket or you can buy an annual pass.

To make it easier to budget your food bills, there is an “all day” meal deal as well as a character meal ticket option.

Universal also offer a number of “VIP” tours for those who want something a little special with a more personal touch and priority access to the main attractions and shows.

If you don’t like the idea of waiting to get onto some of the more popular rides then like Disney, Universal also has a “front-of-line” pass called Universal Express.

The “base ticket” gives you access to one park per day whilst the “park-to-park” option allows you to hop between the two parks on any given day, like Disney’s “hopper” add-on.
