Thank you Katie Eadie for these awesome vacation tips!
Are you planning a trip to Universal Studios soon and looking for information on the best way to start
planning? Look no further! I have the post for you!
1. First things first, use a travel agent! Here at Marvelous Mouse Travels, we are highly trained in
all things Universal! We know the best resorts to stay in, we have access to the same deals that
Universal has on their website, we send free tips and information for the parks, and best of all,
it’s FREE to book with us! Another awesome perk of booking with Marvelous Mouse Travels is
that no matter if you’re staying on property in one of Universal’s resorts or off property in a
hotel or rental home, you still get early entry into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and
Volcano Bay! How amazing is that??
2. Stay at one of Universal’s Studios on-property Resorts. There are 8 resorts to choose from and a
resort for everyone’s budget! If you choose to stay in one of the three Premier Resorts on
property, you receive complimentary Express Passes for your length of stay! That’s an awesome
perk! On property resorts also have transportation to and from the parks! There’s no need to
drive your car over to the parks because Universal Resorts have you covered! You can hop on a
bus or boat (depending on your resort) and be there in no time at all! If you stay at Cabana Bay
Resort, resort guests have a private entrance to Volcano Bay!
3. Make sure to purchase Park to Park Tickets. I always emphasize this because there’s so much to
do in both parks and you want to make sure to experience it all! If you are a Harry Potter fanatic
like me, you definitely don’t want to miss out on the Hogwarts Express! Hogwarts Express runs
between Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios, so the only way you are able to ride it is if
you have the Park to Park Ticket option! It also is a good option because if one of the parks
closes early, you will be able to hop over to another park to finish out the evening!
4. Splurge on the Unlimited Express Pass. If you want to make the most of your visit and your time,
the Express Pass is for you! The Express Pass gives you the opportunity to skip the line and have
a much shorter wait time! If you have the Unlimited Express Pass, then you can do it multiple
times! Also, remember that if you stay in one of Universal’s premier resorts, you get the
complimentary Unlimited Express Pass!
5. Consider the Dining Plan! Universal Studios has several options for dining plans while on
vacation, and there are so many snacks and restaurants choose from! Pre-purchasing the dining
plan allows you to leave the stress of worrying about your food behind! There is an option for
everyone and every budget, so make sure to ask your travel agent about your options for dining.
6. Plan a day at Volcano Bay. Volcano Bay is a wonderful edition to Universal Studios and a great
option on a hot day! There are tons of water slides, a lazy river, a giant wave pool, smaller areas
to play for the little ones, and more! And if you book an on property resort or with a travel
agent, you can get in an hour earlier than other guests!
7. Don’t stress! Vacations are supposed to be fun and relaxing, and planning a Universal Studios
Vacation should be just that! With the help of a Marvelous Mouse Travel Agent, planning should
be a breeze!
