Universal ticket offer: Florida resident 2-day passes good for 4 days

Universal Orlando is offering two days of free theme parking to Florida residents who buy a two-day pass, creating four days of attraction attendance for one price.

That price varies with the date and is based on the first day of use.

A two-park, two-day pass with park-to-park powers between Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios costs between $264.99 and $305.99 in the coming months, according to Universal’s website. (Pricing on these tickets is fluid, sometimes differing by $1 between days.) Buyers who opt to stay in one park for an entire day pay between $186.99 and $254.99.

A two-park, two day pass that includes Volcano Bay water park and the ability to move between the three attractions ranges between $267.99 and $350.99. A pass without park-hopping goes for between $218.99 and $302.99.

Prices for every day are posted on Universal’s website. This deal runs through Dec. 15. The visits to Universal do not have to occur on consecutive days.

Other bits in the fine print: There are a handful of block-out dates with some passes. Users must present proof of Florida residency at the time of ticket pick-up. Unused days will be forfeited. The deal must be purchased online; it’s not available at the front gate of the theme parks.

DreamWorks Land, featuring characters from “Shrek,” “Trolls” and “Kung Fu Panda,” is scheduled to open at Universal Studios sometime this summer. Halloween Horror Nights begins Aug. 30, although that is an after-hours event that requires a separately purchased ticket.
