Florida Residents: Here’s Your Guide to All Your Universal Orlando Benefits

Living in Florida has some great perks. Beautiful beaches, gorgeous weather year round, and Universal Orlando Resort is right in your backyard.

Can it get any better? Yes! Florida residents get exclusive benefits to our destination like special ticket offers and discounts. But sometimes planning your upcoming adventure can feel a little overwhelming with all the different options.

Here’s my easy-to-read guide that breaks down the perks.

Choose the Right Ticket or Offer for You

Florida residents can always save when you buy multi-day tickets online throughout the year! That’s right, we have specially-priced Florida resident tickets and offers available all year.

Click here to see our current ticket, package and Annual Pass offerings and sign-up for emails to stay up to date on our deals. Note: You do need to purchase your tickets online in order to get the discount!

Tip: Head straight to the ticket turnstiles when you arrive to the parks. You no longer need to verify your residency before you get to the front gate.

Tip: Avoid the crowds and come visit us during the week! As a Floridian, I’m sure you’re familiar with when the tourist seasons are and how busy the weekends get.

Become a Die Hard Fan with an Annual or Seasonal Pass

If you’re like me, you’re going to want to keep coming back again and again. You can make that happen with an Annual or Seasonal Pass. Being a Passholder allows you to be among the first to check out all of our new offerings, exclusive events, discounts and more. The best part? Florida residents get special pricing on Passes.

First, you choose from either a 2-Park or 3-Park Annual Pass. My vote is 3-Park since you know you’re going to want to cool off year round at Universal Volcano Bay.

Next, pick the pass level that works for you from Seasonal, Power, Preferred or Premier. You’ll get a shiny new pass and access to endless amounts of thrills and excitement. Our Passholders get year round benefits, discounts, special events and more. What more could you ask for? Click here for details.

Make It a Staycation with Hotel Savings

Sometimes you need to take a break from everyday life and enjoy a staycation.

Florida residents can save with special rates at any of our eight resort hotels during select times of the year. There are plenty of options to choose from to suit your needs and budget. Plus, staying at the hotels gives you access to all sorts of special theme park benefits like Early Park Admission, free transportation to the theme parks, and even Unlimited Universal Express if you stay at a Premier hotel.
