Universal Orlando deal: Get 2 free days through February
Universal Orlando Resort is offering a special ticket deal throughout winter: Get two free days with the purchase of a two-park, three-day ticket, valid for visits from October 2023 through February 2024.
Ticket prices and availability vary by day. Certain blackout dates — including for Seasonal, Power and Preferred passholders — may apply. Note that this special promo does not permit entry over Christmas and New Year's (between Dec. 23 and 31).
In total, consumers can use this deal to visit Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure for five days for the price of three days. Guests can also upgrade their tickets to include access to Volcano Bay water park for an additional $35. All rides and attractions across the two or three parks (depending on ticket type) are included in this deal, including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Jurrasic World VelociCoaster.
The promotional offer starts at $335.99 for adult tickets (ages 10 and up) and $325.99 for child tickets (ages 3 to 9) and is valid for use at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure. For those who want to add access to Volcano Bay, tickets start at $370.99 and $360.99 for adults and children, respectively.
Beyond date restrictions, this pass can only be used for five calendar days during a period of eight consecutive calendar days. Unused days will be forfeited, and passes expire based on the expiration date printed on the ticket.
To verify the pricing for your desired dates, select your ticket type to see the most up-to-date availability and pricing. Ticket prices are based on the first date of your visit, with those dates before the Christmas period currently available to book at approximately $400.
Additionally, Universal is offering special holiday packages, including its Holiday Tour, which runs on select dates from Nov. 19 to Dec. 30. Guests on the Holiday Tour get an exclusive meet-and-greet with the Grinch, reserved seating for the "Grinchmas Who-liday Spectacular," a private meet-and-greet with Santa, an after-hours showing to the Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle and more.
Tickets start at $79.99 and require a one-day, two-park ticket (or park-to-park ticket). Note that annual and seasonal passholders can get $10 off per ticket by calling 1-866-346-9350 or by visiting the UOAP Lounge in Universal Islands of Adventure.
