Travel Tips (from Universal Orlando) – Here are a few suggestions to help you get the most out of your Universal Orlando visit:<\/p>\n

– Purchase a multi-day ticket \u2013 We\u2019ve got two amazing theme parks full of thrills and excitement. You\u2019ll want to spend at least a full day at Universal Studios\u00ae, where you can experience the wild and hilarious The Simpsons Ride\u00ae, take your music for a rideSM on Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit\u00ae, and zap aliens on Men in Black\u2122 Alien Attack\u2122. Over at Universal\u2019s Islands of Adventure spend a day, swing high above the streets on the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man\u00ae, plunge down an 85 ft. drop as your escape the jaws of a T-Rex on Jurassic Park River Adventure\u00ae and fly along side Harry Potter\u2122 on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey\u2122.<\/p>\n

– Add park-to-park access \u2013 If you only have one day purchase a ticket with park-to-park access to experience the best of both Universal Studios\u00ae and Universal\u2019s Islands of Adventure\u00ae.<\/p>\n

– The Wizarding World of Harry Potter\u2122 \u2013 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.<\/p>\n

– Dress for the Weather \u2013 It may be Florida, but it can still get chilly in January and February. Check Orlando\u2019s weather forecast online before you make your trip. Even if it\u2019s warm during the day, nighttime temperatures can drop significantly.<\/p>\n
