About Universal Orlando Resort

Universal Orlando Resort covers 1,291 acres in Orlando and has four parks: Universal Studios Florida (1990), Islands of Adventure (1999), the Volcano Bay water park (2017) and Epic Universe (2025), a few miles south of the rest. CityWalk is its dining, shopping and nightlife district, and the resort has 11 hotels whose guests ride free to the parks. Walking paths, water taxis and buses tie it together, and a park-to-park ticket lets you take the Hogwarts Express between Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley. One-park tickets start at $124.99 plus tax, or $139.99 for Epic Universe.
