Unfortunately, that’s a big mistake. If you fall into the trap of combining more than one set of theme parks into one trip, you’ll end up paying a lot more money. Here are some examples that show how much you can save by sticking to either the Disney or Universal parks exclusively:
Orlando Vacation Example 1
Orlando Vacation Example 2
Let’s say same family of four visits Orlando and decides to just visit Walt Disney World for the same five days. Staying at the same hotel, the cost is $1,340, or $446 per person. If they opt to stick with Universal Orlando Resort and stay at the same hotel, their savings are even more dramatic. They could get a five night stay plus 4 day tickets to Universal Studios base ticket for only $854 plus tax. That’s just $284 per person for five fun-filled days.
Why is there such a big savings when you focus on one major set of attractions? Booking a vacation isn’t much different than shopping for groceries. A local store might sell apples for 89 cents each. A warehouse club like Costco or Sam’s Club offers five apples at 69 cents each. The more you buy, the more you save. That same money-saving rule applies to Orlando attractions, with better deals for longer visits.
You can even apply your savings to upgrade your hotel, maybe splurge on a vacation home, or go out to a really nice meal while you are here in Orlando

Disney Springs
Disney Springs is the shopping and entertainment district at Walt Disney World formerly known as Downtown Disney. If you’ve ever visited in the past, you’ll hardly recognize the area that once contained the Marketplace, Pleasure Island, and the West Side.
Blizzard Beach: A Snowy Oasis in the Sun
Dive into a frosty wonderland at Blizzard Beach, where winter meets water in the heart of sunny Florida. This unique park, born from a whimsical Disney tale of a snowstorm-turned-water-park, features attractions like the sky-high Summit Plummet slide and the family-friendly Tike's Peak.
Typhoon Lagoon: Ride the Tropical Waves
Typhoon Lagoon offers a splash of tropical paradise with its massive wave pool and the shipwrecked charm of Miss Tilly. Created from Disney's story of a typhoon's aftermath, this park boasts thrilling water rides like the gravity-defying Crush 'n' Gusher and the serene Castaway Creek.
