Universal 3-Park 3-Day (Park-to-Park) PLUS 1-Day Universal Epic Universe Ticket grants you 4 total days of park access, plus Volcano Bay access, with the park-to-park benefit — 1 day of which is dedicated to Epic Universe. This ticket has a 7-day usage window. That means your visit might look something like:
- Day 1: Start at Universal Studios Florida, then jump to Universal Islands of Adventure to ride Jurassic World VelociCoaster and Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure at night.
