Planning a complete Universal Orlando Resort vacation looks much different now that Epic Universe is part of the picture.
For years, visitors could build a trip around Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. Now, guests have a third major theme park competing for their vacation time, and that can mean adding another day — and another expense — to the trip.
Universal has a ticket option that could make that decision a little easier.
The resort is offering special 3-day, 3-park tickets that include Epic Universe alongside Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. Prices start at $99 per day for the standard offer, while Florida residents can find tickets starting at only $85 per day.
Three Days for Universal’s Three Theme Parks
The standard special 3-day ticket starts at $99 per day plus tax, although pricing varies depending on the dates selected.
Guests receive three days of admission and can visit one theme park each day. The three included parks are Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Epic Universe.
At the lowest advertised rate, guests would pay $297 before tax for the three days.
It’s a straightforward setup that could work particularly well for visitors who don’t want to rush through the resort. Guests can spend an entire day inside each park rather than trying to squeeze several destinations into the same day.
Universal also offers a more flexible version.
The special 3-day ticket with 2-Park Park-to-Park access starts at $119 per day plus tax. It allows guests to move between Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure while still including a separate visit to Epic Universe.
That could be useful for visitors who want to divide their time differently between Universal’s two longtime theme parks.
Florida Residents Get an Even Lower Price
The bigger deal belongs to Florida residents.
Eligible residents can purchase the special 3-day Florida resident ticket starting at $85 per day, bringing the total starting price to $255 before tax.
That means a qualifying guest could spend three days visiting Universal Orlando’s three theme parks for less than $300 in base admission.
There are some conditions attached.
The promotional Florida resident ticket can only be purchased online and isn’t available for purchase at the front gate. It must also be used by December 23, 2026.
Florida residents who want Park-to-Park access have another option.
That version starts at $95 per day, or $285 total, and allows guests to move between Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure while also including their Epic Universe visit.
Epic Universe Changes the Value of the Offer
Epic Universe is what really makes this ticket package interesting.
Since opening in May 2025, the park has transformed Universal Orlando into a destination where three full theme park days can make plenty of sense.
That creates a new challenge for guests trying to control vacation costs. Visiting everything can mean spending more money simply because there’s another major park to experience.
A three-day ticket built around all three parks gives visitors a much simpler way to approach the resort.
The $85-per-day Florida resident offer is especially notable. While the lowest price won’t apply to everyone, a $255 starting total gives eligible residents an opportunity to build a complete three-park Universal vacation without paying for each experience separately.
The biggest thing to remember is the deadline.
Florida residents interested in the discounted promotion will need to purchase it online and use it by December 23.
For anyone already thinking about visiting Universal Orlando before the end of 2026, the deal could make three days at Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Epic Universe much easier to fit into the budget.
