We cannot wait to help make your dreams come true! 

It largely depends on your preference for weather and crowds. If you’re keen on smaller crowds, try visiting outside school holidays, such as mid-January to early February or late August to mid-September. The cooler months (November to February) are generally less humid, but Florida’s weather can still be quite warm and occasionally unpredictable—so be prepared for sudden showers no matter the season.

Most visitors find that two to three days allows them time to experience the major attractions in both Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure, including time in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. If you’d also like to explore Universal’s Volcano Bay water theme park, adding an extra day is recommended. Plan a relaxed pace so you can savour every moment without rushing.

Yes, if you’d like to experience both Diagon Alley (in Universal Studios Florida) and Hogsmeade (in Islands of Adventure), you’ll need a park-to-park ticket. This also grants you access to the Hogwarts Express, which travels between the two themed areas—a magical and highly recommended journey!

The Universal Express Pass allows you to skip the regular queue at most attractions, significantly reducing your wait times. It can be brilliant if you’re visiting during peak season or on a tight schedule. Prices vary by date, so weigh up the cost against how busy the parks will be. For many, the time saved is well worth the extra expense.

Yes, certain attractions have height requirements to keep everyone safe. Most rides provide test seats or measuring stations near the queue entrance. Check the official Universal Orlando website or the Universal app for current restrictions and guidance. If you’re visiting with smaller children, consider planning ahead to ensure they can ride (or have alternative fun experiences).

If you’re staying at an on-site Universal hotel, complimentary shuttle buses or water taxis (if available at your hotel) run regularly to the parks. Some off-site hotels also offer shuttle services, though schedules can vary. Many visitors choose to drive themselves—Universal has ample parking structures, though parking fees apply. Rideshares and taxis are also readily available in the Orlando area.

Many rides offer free locker rentals during the time you queue and ride. Lockers are typically located near the attraction entrance. Some attractions require you to store loose items for safety reasons, and your belongings will be kept safe until you return.

The resort offers a variety of dining choices, from quick bites to table-service restaurants and unique themed eateries. If there’s a particular sit-down restaurant you’re set on trying, it’s wise to make a reservation in advance, especially during peak seasons or if you have a larger group. Otherwise, many delicious quick-service spots are available throughout the parks.

Florida can be hot and humid, with sudden rain showers at virtually any time. Bring sunscreen, stay hydrated, and wear comfortable clothing. Having a small foldable poncho or umbrella is handy in case of unexpected downpours. Many attractions have indoor or covered queues, so a bit of rain often doesn’t stop the fun!

Absolutely! Universal Orlando regularly hosts special events such as Mardi Gras (with live concerts and festive parades) and Halloween Horror Nights (a spooky, after-hours experience with haunted houses). Most seasonal events are highly popular, so consider checking the schedule when planning your visit. Arrive early if you’d like to snag a great viewing spot for the parades or night-time shows.
