This is a pretty spectacular deal for those looking to visit Universal Orlando multiple times in the upcoming months. There are no blackout dates for Floridians, including over the Thanksgiving holiday. This strategy of marketing to locals would align with Disney’s announcements during its most recent investor call that a larger portion of its guests were drive-in locals, compared to historic norms.

The base rate for a one-day, park-to-park ticket begins at $164 per adult and $159 per child, with an option to add Volcano Bay water park access for an additional $29 per ticket.
The offer is valid on tickets purchased through Sept. 30. If you want included Express Pass access to reduce your time in line, look to staying somewhere like the Loews Royal Pacific or Loews Portofino Bay.
