Universal Studios is the first of the two Universal theme parks in Orlando. Immerse yourself in a real-life film and TV production facility. You can meet your favorite characters and ride thrilling attractions with cutting edge technology that is not found anywhere else. Transformers, Simpsons, Despicable me and Men In Black are just some of the popular move themed attractions in this park. Diagon Alley is the second half of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. If you purchase a park hopper pass, you will be able to ride aboard the Hogwarts Express between Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley.

Universal’s Islands of Adventure is the second theme park in Universal Orlando. This theme park includes the popular Hogsmeade from the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Not a detail has been overlooked from the popular J.K. Rowling book series and you will feel that you have just opened a book and stepped inside of the pages. If you book a Universal Vacation Package, you will be allowed inside this theme park an hour before the general public. Although Hogsmeade is a popular part of the park other areas are not to be overlooked. You can meet a dinosaur in person and shake hands with a superhero. This park has some of the most epic coasters while still offering fun for little ones at Suess Landing.

The two parks are connected by Universal CityWalk. This area comes to life at night with dining and shopping that you won’t find anywhere else. There are usually special coupons for CityWalk given to people that stay in the Universal hotels.

Universal’s Volcano Bay Water Park offers thrilling attractions at a convenient location.  If you are a guest at Cabana Bay Beach Resort, you will have your own private entrance into this park.  The TapuTapu bracelet is your ticket to fun when you download the Universal Parks app.  Link your TapuTapu to the app so that you can use it to pay for food & merchandise throughout the park.  Skip the lines...  Simply tap your bracelet on the symbol by the attraction and you will be checked in to the virtual line and given a return time, the TapuTapu will tell you when it's time to ride.  Just don't forget to return your bracelet when you exit the park.  Plan a visit to this water park and you will have a splashtacular time.

Universal Resorts:  Guests of Universal Resorts get special perks like early park entry, complimentary transportation to the theme parks, free package delivery to resort, priority seating at select CityWalk Restaurants and for guests in Premier hotels you will get free Unlimited Epxress Pass.
