1.Universal Orlando Resort Theme Park Tickets

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 1,387 reviews · from $146Our pick

Choose a one or two day ticket for Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, with optional park-to-park access and Volcano Bay. You can move between the main parks on the same day, ride the Hogwarts Express with the right ticket, and add a water-park day for a fuller Orlando break.

“We both had an amazing two days at Universal studios and islands of Adventure. I'd recommend the park to park ticket as it's easy and quick to go between the two parks via the Hogwarts train which is a fun ride in itself. We were blessed for the hogwith the weather despite being hurricane season. The max time I spent in a line was around 45 mins for the hogwarts train and average for rides was about 8 minutes. Most of the rides have been updated since I was a kid so Jaws, twister, King Kong, and earthquake have been replaced. The best rides now are Kong and the Harry…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 226 reviews · from $27Best value

“Out of the choices, the only one I really enjoyed was Universal. Isle of Adventure and City Walk were total disappointments. City Walk use to be a great place for clubbing now just a bunch of restaurants and stores. And after paying so much for the ticket having to pay an additional 20 each day for parking was outrageous.”

7.Universal Studios 2-Park 1-Day VIP Experience Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 7 reviews · 7 hours · from $287

Spend seven hours with a small English-speaking guide group at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. You get priority access on the day’s route, behind-the-scenes opportunities, breakfast, lunch, valet parking, and an Express Pass, but you must buy a Park-to-Park ticket separately.

“Excellent experience. Jacoby was our guide and he was so lovely and knowledgeable. A gorgeous breakfast and lunch were included. VIP meant we were brought straight to the top of the line for all the main rides. We also got behind the scenes access to some of the rides and workshops. Definitely saved us a lot of time not having to navigate the park ourselves or stand in line in standard queues. Afterwards we could use our VIP pass for the express lines on the rides which continued to save us time.”

8.Disneyworld and Universal Studios Personal Planner

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 4 reviews

Meet certified planner Roberto for help arranging your Orlando holiday, from Disney and Universal tickets to hotels, dining, Genie+ and transport advice. The $40 service covers your whole group, but tickets, rooms and in-park guiding cost extra. Assistance continues from planning through your vacation.

“Not very useful. I managed to buy the park tickets at a cheaper price directly from Disney and Universal. Roberto pushed me to cancel my hotel bookings to get a more expensive Disney resort hotel. Not useful if what you are looking for is to save money. It was a waste of money and time for me.”
