Purchase Tickets in Advance
Purchase your tickets online in advance to save time and money. You can buy tickets online directly from Universal Orlando or from a trusted agency. If you choose to purchase from a third-party seller, be wary of possible scams. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Early Park Admission is Available for Universal Hotel Guests
If you’re staying at a Universal Orlando on-site hotel, you can take advantage of early park admission to get a head start on the day and enjoy more attractions in the parks. To find out when early park admission is available and learn more about it, click here.
You Can Skip the Lines
Universal Orlando offers Universal Express for purchase to bypass the regular lines at participating attractions. This service allows you to reduce your wait times and experience more attractions throughout the day. If you’re staying at a Universal Orlando Premier/deluxe-priced on-site hotel, Universal Express is available to you at no additional charge for the duration of your stay (not valid at Halloween Horror Nights). To view all Universal Express options and pricing, click here.
There’s an App
Universal Orlando has a free app on the App Store and Google Play Store. With the app, you can view maps to easily navigate the parks, view attraction wait times and showtimes, browse restaurant menus, and more. It’s a great resource to use in the parks.
There’s a Parking Fee
If you plan to park a vehicle at Universal Orlando’s theme parks, water park, or Universal CityWalk, a parking fee is required unless you’re visiting after 6 pm on a non-Halloween Horror Nights event night or have an annual pass that includes free parking. The parking fee varies based on the type of vehicle and the parking option you choose. For more information, click here. Universal Orlando’s on-site hotels also charge a parking fee that varies based on the hotel and the duration of your stay. To view parking information for Universal Orlando’s hotels, click here, then select a hotel and choose the “Information & Policies” tab.
Mobile Order When You Can
You can mobile order food and beverages at various dining locations using the Universal Orlando app. It’s a convenient, easy-to-use feature that can help you avoid the long lines of guests ordering food.
There’s a Child Swap Service
Universal offers a free child swap service to accommodate guests traveling with children. If a guest chooses not to ride an attraction or does not meet an attraction’s boarding requirements, all other members of the party can still experience the attraction with no hassle.

Some Attractions Don’t Allow Loose Articles
Some attractions at Universal Orlando, typically the more intense rides, do not allow loose articles such as bags and phones on board. Complimentary lockers are available at these attractions for the duration of your ride; however, the lockers do not fit oversized bags and items. These larger items can be placed in a larger locker, which must be rented for an additional fee.
