Plan Your Days at Universal Orlando Resort

Not-to-Miss Universal Studios Florida - Mummy

Here are a few examples of what your vacation might look like based on the Universal Orlando Resort ticket you choose. Remember to look at your ticket usage window, as your days don't have to be used consecutively!

Universal 2-Park 4-Day (Base) PLUS 1-Day Universal Epic Universe Ticket would give 5 days of park access, without the hopping capability — 1 day of which can be dedicated to Universal Epic Universe only. This ticket has an 8-day usage window. That means your visit might look something like:

  • Day 1: Universal Islands of Adventure on arrival day, including a stop for grilled cheese and tomato soup at Mythos
  • Day 2: Universal Epic Universe
  • Day 3: Sleep in and enjoy your hotel — brunch and a pool day!
  • Day 4: Universal Studios Florida
  • Day 5: Universal Islands of Adventure
  • Day 6: Rest day — do some shopping or watch a movie at CityWalk
  • Day 7: Universal Studios Florida

Hi Lee!

Since you are staying at Hard Rock Hotel from Aug. 17 to 20, 2025, we would suggest at the very least a 2-Day PLUS 1-Day Epic ticket (or if you want more time in the parks, a 3-Day PLUS 1-Day Epic ticket) to cover those days before you hop over to Disney. At this time, the Epic Universe multi-day tickets include only 1 day at Epic Universe, no matter which multi-day ticket you choose. You also have a choice between visiting one theme park per day (base), or park-to-park (which would only include park-to-park access at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, as well as Volcano Bay if you add it as a third park — but park-to-park access does not include Epic Universe).

If you want Park-to-Park access, click here. Be sure to look at the 3-Park ticket option if you want to add Volcano Bay.

If you want Base access (one theme park per day), click here. Be sure to look at the 3-Park ticket option if you want to add Volcano Bay.

Hope this helps, but feel free to reach out again if you have more questions.

Hoppy planning!
