Quick Money Saving Tips for Universal Orlando in 2024
Quick Money Saving Tips While Visiting Universal Orlando Resort
-Food at the parks is tasty but expensive, so packing some in-between snacks will help ease the strain on your wallet.-Bring reusable water bottles to refill at drinking fountains or filtered water stations. Water bottles in the park can run you up to $4!-All quick-service restaurants will give you free ice water in a cup.-Share meals with your friends/spouse/kids!-Kids meals are also available for less.-For a quick anytime snack, stop at Starbucks in CityWalk and order breakfast sandwiches. They’re portable, filling, and they are comparatively cheap. 10-20% discount for APs (depending on the pass)-Avoid shops! As fun as it is to peruse the souvenirs all over the parks, be prepared for the “I want everything!” battle. OR set a budget for souvenirs – let kiddos pick ONE item under a certain dollar amount-Purchase Harry Potter tees & accessories dresses ahead of time at Target or online via Amazon, etc.-Multi-day, park to park tickets (one park per day) will save you $ if unable to purchase an annual pass.-Military discounts on tickets are also available on food, merchandise and tickets.AARP members get discounts on food, merchandise and tickets.-Remember, kids under 3 are ALWAYS free.-Staying at a Good Neighbor Hotel is much cheaper than staying at one of the Universal onsite hotels.-My favorite Neighbor Hotels are Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Howard Johnson Hotel & the Super 8. Super convenient & each hotel is very nice.-Aside from these 3 hotels, other closely offsite Hotels have their perks, so be sure to check whether they’re offering any specials.- Look into staying in an AirBNB as well! You're just sleeping there, so it doesn't have to be fancy.
