Universal Orlando waved a wizard's wand over its ticket prices and developed a tiered menu that looks a lot like Walt Disney World's Magic Your Way ticket program. Guests can now purchase one- or two-park passes (the latter allows park hopping) for one, two, three, four, or seven days. Like Disney's plan, the cost per day drops dramatically as the number of days increase. The good news: A seven-day ticket costs $169.99 or $24.28 per day. A seven-day Disney World pass is $234 or $33.43 per day. The bad news: Before it introduced the new plan, Universal Orlando offered a two-park, seven-day pass for only $99. That's a 70% increase. Ouch.
Of course, Universal is counting on the Potter frenzy about to erupt this spring to justify its new prices. Universal offers two theme parks to Disney's four. Would guests want to visit the Universal parks for seven days? Even with the new Harry Potter land (which, undoubtedly, will generate huge crowds and long lines), that's a lot of days to spend amid Universal's in-your-face attractions. And in case you're wondering, guests can't bank unused days for future visits. The multi-day passes expire 14 days after they are first used.
Interestingly, the price for the Orlando Flex ticket, which includes 14 days of unlimited admission to the two Universal Orlando parks plus SeaWorld Orlando, Aquatica, and Wet 'n Wild, remains unchanged at $259.95. That works out to $18.57 per day, and adds three parks plus seven additional days for only $90 more than Universal's new seven-day ticket.
Thanks for this. I was wondering whether to go or not. Looks ok. The 7 day pass is good value.
So, this isn’t about universal order it’s about something else entirely – right.
