#UnlockTheSecrets: Maximize Your Time and Experience at Universal Studios Orlando!

3/3/2023

 
Planning your trip to Universal Studios Orlando is a breeze with the help of an experienced travel planner. One of the many benefits of using a travel planner for your vacation is that you will have knowledgeable assistance as you decide how to best use your time. When visiting a theme park, it is beneficial to know where you are going, what you need to see and how to get the most out of the investment you’ve made.
​A few of our travel planners have recently visited Universal Studios Orlando, and they have compiled a few thoughts on how you can save time, ride the best attractions and feel confident as you navigate Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. When you work with one of our planners, you will have the benefit of expert guidance and experienced help at every step! You will find great tips and planning advice from some of our agents below.

​Picking up your tickets 
“Picking up your tickets is easy! Every Universal Resort has its own Vacation Information Desk. This desk will have everything you need to make your vacation and can answer any question that you might have about the parks during your stay. As your party is checking into the resort, send one member over to this desk to request your tickets. They will need everyone’s name that is in the party and will print your hard copy ticket to use while in the park. You can receive your tickets at the kiosks located by each parks entrance, but by getting them at your resort, you will be able to go right to the entrance gates! 
 
One thing to make your time in the parks run smoothly is to wear a lanyard. Universal uses a scanner system to keep track of everything while in the park. The lanyard enables you to keep your park tickets, express pass and photo card with you at all times. You will need your tickets to rent a locker at most rides to prevent flying personal items and your express pass to scan into the express line. It is always nice to have a photo card to record your memories at the park as well.”

​Don’t miss a single thrill 
“There are two rides that have a longer wait time than any other ride in the park, these are Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure and The VelociCoaster. You can monitor the wait times on the Universal App to gage an appropriate time to head to the ride. The VelociCoaster is a good ride to try during early entry, but Hagrid’s will always be a longer wait. Both rides are amazing and worth the wait. Know that you will be waiting for each ride and plan accordingly, sometimes Single Rider on Hagrid’s will be a shorter wait, but your party will be separated. Resort guests have early park entry – take advantage of this as a way to avoid longer waits on some of the most popular rides.”
VIP Tours are a great way to see more! 
“If you are only spending a few days in the parks, consider a VIP tour as a way to maximize your time. You will have an expert guide, and you will get front-of-the-line access to many of the best attractions. While you are in the parks, consider purchasing a refillable mug to save time and money. Express Pass is a great way to shorten the time you may wait in lines. You can get Express Pass for free by staying at a premier resort, or you can add it to your tickets for an additional cost. Use a lanyard as a way to keep your ticket handy, saving you time at the park entrances and when renting lockers!”
