Universal Orlando 101: What First-Timers Need to Know

Universal Orlando is an amazing destination for families—but it’s very different from Disney. Whether you’re heading there for the first time or adding a few days after a Disney trip, here’s what you need to know:

• It’s Three Parks (and a Water Park): Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Epic Universe are your three amazing theme parks. Did you know that the Hogwarts Express connects Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure? And don’t forget Volcano Bay, the amazing water park!

• Express Pass is a Game Changer: Skip the lines and get more done in less time—it’s worth it, especially in busy seasons.

• Early Park Admission Perks: Guests at Universal hotels get into the parks early. This is huge for popular rides like Hagrid’s or VelociCoaster.

• Height Requirements Are Real: Check ahead of time to make sure your kids can ride the attractions you’re excited for.

• It’s More Compact: Less walking than Disney—but still bring comfy shoes!

• 
  

We help families choose the right hotel, understand ticket options, and plan out the best way to hit all the highlights.
