Orlando Universal Studios: One-Day Two-Park Nanny Guide

Orlando, home to the world's largest Universal Studios, features three parks: 1. Universal Studios Florida; 2. Universal’s Islands of Adventure; 3. Volcano Bay. The third is a water park and not typically included in general discussions. Parks 1 and 2 are adjacent, making this guide perfect for those who want to visit both parks in one day and don't mind early starts and walking. 📌 Preparation Needed: 1. One-day two-park ticket + Express Pass: Approximately $300 per person. Buy directly from the official app, as platforms like Ctrip or Fliggy tend to be more expensive. 2. Stay at any Universal Resort hotel (there are eight options with varying prices). Hotel guests can enter Islands of Adventure an hour early, saving at least an hour in line for Hagrid’s Motorbike. Premium hotels offer free Express Passes, which is a great deal. 3. A small flat bag. Free lockers in the park are only about 20cm high and 40cm wide; larger bags require extra fees. 📌 There are five rides across both parks where the Express Pass cannot be used: 1. Hagrid's Motorbike; 2. Revenge of the Mummy; 3. VelociCoaster; 4. Fievel’s Playland; 5. Pteranondon Flyers. Rides 4 and 5 are children's attractions and can generally be skipped. 📌 Key Strategy: - Follow the route in Map 2 to avoid backtracking. - Refer to the sequence in Map 3, skipping some rides if needed based on interest and energy levels. 📌 Additional Tips: - If staying at a Universal hotel, purchases in the park and Citywalk can be delivered to your hotel for free. - Each park has a Harry Potter area: Hogsmeade in Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley & Gringotts in Universal Studios. - The downside of this route is that it's less convenient for watching parades, which occur in Universal Studios, not Islands of Adventure. However, you can walk between parks in about ten minutes. - To catch the parade, confirm the time at the visitor center in advance to avoid missing it. Enjoy your visit and make unforgettable memories! #USA #InternationalTravel #OrlandoUniversalStudios #BeijingUniversalStudios #UniversalStudios #HarryPotter #DiagonAlley #Gringotts #Hogsmeade #Hogwarts #Florida #IslandsOfAdventure #AmusementPark #ThemePark #SpringOuting
