Vacation Packages Rooms & Tickets The Mouse For Less Tips

Universal Vacation Packages

At Universal Orlando Resort there are a few vacation packages you can choose from. Vacation packages do not include airfare. Package pricing is per person, per night + tax. For current package discount offers, click here.

When you purchase a Universal Orlando package, you always get the best price and benefits. You can bundle your room and tickets to create a package and save up to $200, or get extra perks through their other packages. This is the best value when you already have a travel date in mind and are ready to book your hotel.

Rooms & Tickets

For those who do not wish to bundle everything into a package deal, you can also purchase your park tickets and hotel room separately. This is great when you don’t have a travel date in mind but see an annual pass/ticket deal for Universal Orlando that is too good to pass up.  For a full list of ticket options visit our Universal Ticket Options page. Visit the Universal Resorts page to see all the on-site hotel and resort options.

Universal Orlando Value Hotels

Two Universal Orlando resorts fall in this category.  These are Universal’s Endless Summer Resorts – Surfside Inn and Suites and Dockside Inn and Suites.  The perks of staying at Universal Orlando’s Value hotels include the following:  Early park admission to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter up to one hour before the park opens.  Complimentary transportation to the theme parks and Universal CityWalk.  Resort-wide charging privileges with room key.  Complimentary delivery of merchandise purchased throughout the resort to your hotel.  As well as complimentary club-to-club access to select Universal CityWalk venues for the length of your stay.

Universal Orlando Preferred Hotel

One Universal Orlando resort falls in this category – Sapphire Falls Resort.  Universal Orlando Preferred Hotel offers some benefits above the value and prime value resorts.  At this level, you receive all the benefits of the value resorts plus 24-hour room service, valet parking, and pets are allowed with restrictions.
