Your Universal Orlando fun doesn’t need to end when you leave the parks - stay onsite and ‘Stay in the Awesome!’
A Universal vacation is packed full of fun from the moment you arrive, so why not keep it going when you leave the park? When you stay onsite at Universal Orlando Resort, each day comes with more fun and even exclusive theme park benefits in some hotels. Getting to the park is easier onsite, and making purchases is easier when you stay onsite. Holidays can be so stressful, why not make it as stress-free and seamless once you get there!
Benefits of staying onsite
When you stay onsite at Universal Orlando Resort, you don’t just get a bed to sleep in, you get the rockstar treatment!
FREE Universal Express Unlimited Ride Access
When you stay at a Premier hotel onsite, you can really call yourself a VIP when you skip the regular lines at both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure! (Valid theme park admission required; select attractions.)
Early Park Admission
As a Resort guest, you can start your day earlier and beat the crowds, making it even easier to ride all the rides you want! (Valid theme park admission required; select attractions.)
Free & Easy Transport to the Parks
When you stay onsite you’re so close to the action that it’s just a hop, skip, and a jump to the parks. Make the trip even easier with free shuttles and even water taxis!
All You Need is Your Room Key
Because you’re staying at a Universal property, you don’t even need to carry around cash or your own cards! Just use your room key to charge purchases at stores and dining locations to your room!
Get Everything Delivered to your Room
When you’re in the parks, there are shopping opportunities all around – who doesn’t love a souvenir? What I don’t love is carrying around my bags afterward and having to find space for them in free lockers when I go on rides. No need to worry about that when you stay onsite – they’ll deliver your purchases straight to the hotel!
