Destination

Universal Orlando Resort has become a destination worthy of its own vacation.

Here, you can walk through the streets of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, enter the imaginative worlds of Universal Epic Universe, experience some of Orlando’s most exciting attractions, and return to a resort designed to keep you close to the action.

With multiple theme parks, a growing collection of resort hotels, Universal Express options, and a wide range of ticket choices, the right planning can make an enormous difference. Glass Slipper Concierge will help you choose the hotel, accommodations, tickets, and experiences that best fit your family, creating a Universal Orlando vacation that feels exciting, seamless, and thoughtfully designed.

A Complete Orlando Vacation 

Universal Orlando is no longer simply a side trip during a Walt Disney World vacation. With Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, Universal Volcano Bay, and Universal Epic Universe, families can easily spend several days immersed in completely different worlds.

You may want to explore Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, race through SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, experience the creatures and legends of Dark Universe, or spend an afternoon relaxing at Volcano Bay. Some families arrive determined to experience every major attraction, while others prefer a slower vacation centered around Harry Potter, favorite characters, dining, and time at the resort.

We’ll help you determine how many days you need and create the right balance between exciting park days and time to enjoy the rest of the destination.

Choosing the Right Universal Orlando Resort

Where you stay can shape the entire experience.

Loews Portofino Bay Hotel offers a more relaxed atmosphere inspired by the Italian Riviera, along with spacious accommodations and beautiful resort surroundings. Hard Rock Hotel places you exceptionally close to Universal Studios Florida and appeals to guests who enjoy a lively, energetic setting. Loews Royal Pacific Resort combines a tropical atmosphere with convenient access to the parks.

Guests staying at these resorts receive Universal Express Unlimited at participating attractions in Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure. For many families, that benefit can make the vacation feel significantly easier and may add considerable value to the stay.

Universal Helios Grand Hotel offers a different experience, with its dramatic setting beside Universal Epic Universe and convenient access to the park. It can be especially appealing when Epic Universe is a central priority.

Universal Orlando also offers family suites and larger accommodations that may be especially well suited to multigenerational families or guests who value additional space. We’ll help you compare location, room configuration, atmosphere, transportation, and included benefits to select the resort that best supports the way your family wants to experience Universal Orlando.

Universal Express and a More Seamless Park Experience

Universal Express can transform the pace of your vacation by reducing the amount of time spent waiting at participating attractions.

The options can also be confusing. Some resorts include Universal Express Unlimited for select parks, while other guests may choose to purchase Express separately. The best approach depends on your hotel, travel dates, park priorities, and the attractions your family most wants to experience.

Glass Slipper Concierge will help you understand what is included, whether additional Express access makes sense, and how to use your park time more effectively.

Universal Epic Universe

Universal Epic Universe has added an entirely new dimension to a Universal Orlando vacation.

Its immersive worlds include Celestial Park, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe. Each area has its own atmosphere, attractions, dining, and visual identity, making the park feel like several destinations within one.

A visit to Epic Universe requires thoughtful planning, particularly when deciding how many days to devote to Universal Orlando and which resort location will be most convenient. We’ll help you incorporate Epic Universe into the larger vacation without making the itinerary feel rushed or overwhelming.

Combining Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World

Many families want to experience both Universal Orlando Resort and Walt Disney World during the same vacation.

The two destinations can work beautifully together, but they use different resort benefits, transportation systems, ticket structures, and approaches to park planning. The right arrangement may involve staying at one resort throughout the trip or dividing the vacation between Disney and Universal hotels.

A split stay can provide easier access to each destination and allow you to take advantage of valuable onsite benefits. Remaining in one hotel may feel simpler. We’ll consider your family’s priorities, the length of your stay, preferred accommodations, and comfort with changing resorts before recommending the best plan.

Why Glass Slipper Concierge
