How to Visit Universal Studios Orlando on a Budget

With two theme parks, tons of shows, and lots of tasty restaurants, there’s a ton to do at Universal Studios Orlando – but it’ll cost you. With some careful planning and a little foresight, you can do your trip for less than you may think. Here are a few ways you can save some serious money on your trip to Universal.

Coke Freestyle

If you want to have soda while on vacation and save some money, try Coke Freestyle refillable cups. You can get refills every ten minutes. Also, if you are going to be at Universal for several days, you can reactivate the cup each day. Freestyle stands are located throughout the park.

Buy a Package and Save Big

There are a number of package deals that can result in huge cost savings for you. These can include both discounted theme park tickets and discounted Orlando hotels or vacation home rentals. Not only will your cost be lower, but you’ll have the convenience of booking everything in one spot.

Carefully Consider Express Passes

The Express Pass allows you to skip the lines at most rides. If you know you can’t do everything you want to do without it in one or two days, then it may be cheaper to add it and get it all done in a day or two, versus adding a third day to your trip.



On the other hand, if you’re going during a slower season, it may not make sense to take on the extra expense unnecessarily. You’ll pay extra for every person in your party, and the prices can really add up.

These are a few simple ways you can save money on food, lodging, accommodations, and your tickets. If you budget carefully, a vacation to Universal Orlando can fit into almost any budget! Click here to read more articles on visiting Orlando on a budget.
