Know before you go

Tips, tricks, and must-knows to make the most of your day at the parks.

What to know before you go to Universal Orlando Resort

Ready for a day of thrills and magic? Here’s your quick guide!

  • Arrive early: Beat the crowds by arriving at park opening. If you’re staying at a Universal hotel, enjoy Early Park Admission to get a head start on your day.
  • Download the Universal Orlando App: It’s your go-to for ride wait times, showtimes, mobile food ordering, and more.
  • Bring essentials: Pack a refillable water bottle, sunscreen, and a poncho or extra socks for unexpected rain. Universal allows you to bring up to 2 liters of water and snacks into the park, which can save you time and money!
  • Use single rider lines: If you’re okay with splitting up, these lines can significantly reduce wait times.
  • Know the locker policy: Many rides require you to store loose items in lockers. They are free while riding, but are small!
  • Stay hydrated and energized: Florida’s heat can be intense. Take breaks, drink plenty of water, and enjoy the diverse dining options throughout the park.
  • Plan for the Wizarding World: If you’re visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, remember that the Hogwarts Express requires a Park-to-Park ticket to travel between Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.
  • End the day at CityWalk: After the parks close, Universal CityWalk offers great dining and entertainment options to cap off your day.
