Universal Orlando Resort Introduces Multiday Hotel and Park Vacation Packages

Following the opening of Universal Epic Universe last May, Universal Orlando Resort has been positioning itself as a weeklong vacation destination. Travel advisors report that guests are increasingly booking longer stays in response.

The resort has introduced a new vacation package that includes six- or seven-day park-to-park tickets. The tickets provide access to all four parks: Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Universal Volcano Bay.

For a limited time, guests can purchase a six- or seven-day ticket for the price of a five-day ticket. The package can also be combined with a $300 hotel dining credit when booking at least five nights at select Universal hotels, including Cabana Bay Beach Resort and Aventura Hotel.

Travelers who bundle park tickets and hotel stays can save between $75 and $200, depending on the length of stay. The booking window runs through May 6 for travel between April 12 and Sept. 3.
