Read on for great ideas and then browse our wide selection of Orlando vacation rentals today!
Buy Your Admission Tickets In Advance
Just like buying your tickets at the door for a popular concert, waiting to buy your Universal Studios admission tickets until you’re literally at the gate in Orlando is a bad idea. Well, not a bad idea per se, but it’s definitely going to cost you. The best way to get great discounts on admission tickets is to purchase them directly from the park online. On average, families who purchase admissions tickets through Universal Orlando online receive a $20 discount on multi-day passes. If you have multiple people in your party, this can add up to big savings quick!
Book An Orlando Vacation Rental Instead Of A Hotel
When booking your tickets, you’ll see multiple advertisements SCREAMING for you to bundle your hotel and tickets together, but DON’T! Instead of being trapped on the resort, paying high prices for food and drink, you could book an Orlando vacation rental for less money and more space. Yes, you read that right. Our private Orlando vacation rental homes feature full kitchens where you can cook cost-effective meals, living areas complete with flat screen TVs and couches, and access to beautiful pools where kids can work out all that energy from being over-stimulated at Universal Studios all day!
Bring A Backpack & Rent A Locker
A backpack makes it easy to bring extra layers in case the weather changes, sunscreen, water bottles, phone chargers, and other things you might have to buy if the need arises while you’re in the park. Backpacks and lockers are also a great place to stash some snacks that can help prevent you from buying fast food at a premium while inside the resort.
Print The Universal Savings Coupon Booklet
This is one step you simply cannot forget! The Orlando Visitor’s Center is a great place to find valuable coupons good for Disney, Universal, and other attractions in the area. The Universal Savings Booklet in particular can be redeemed at either park (Universal Studios Store or Islands Trading Post) for valuable discounts off park dining and shops. If you’re a resident of another town or city in Florida, you should know that your local status qualifies you for savings of $45 per day on park to park tickets and $35 a day on single park tickets! These discounts are subject to blackout dates, however, so just be sure to double check before you book.
We hope this post has helped you to see that you don’t have to be independently wealthy to enjoy a vacation at Universal Studios!
