Universal Orlando now has a straightforward three-day ticket for visiting Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. The lowest advertised price is per day, but that rate is only for Florida residents. Everyone else can find the same one-day-per-park format starting at per day.
The new options make sense for visitors who want one full day in each dry theme park without paying for more days than they need. The details matter, though: Park-to-Park access is limited to the two original parks, and the Florida-resident promotions must be used by December 23, 2026.

The Four Special Three-Day Tickets
Universal’s live ticket store shows two base products and two Park-to-Park upgrades. Prices are before tax and can change, so treat these as the starting points verified on September 3.
| Ticket | Starting price | How the three days work |
|---|---|---|
| Standard base | total per day | One day each at Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure |
| Standard Park-to-Park | total per day | Two Park-to-Park days at the original parks, plus one Epic Universe day |
| Florida resident base | total per day | One day at each park; online-only promotional ticket |
| Florida resident Park-to-Park | total per day | Two Park-to-Park days at the original parks, plus one Epic Universe day |
The Price Is for Florida Residents
The headline rate comes from the Florida-resident base ticket: before tax for three days. Universal’s store displays that as roughly per day. The Florida-resident Park-to-Park version costs , or per day.
Both resident promotions are sold online rather than at the front gate and must be used by December 23, 2026. They exclude separately ticketed events and carry blockout dates and other restrictions. Confirm Florida-resident eligibility and the dates shown in the live store before paying.
Park-to-Park Does Not Include Epic Universe Hopping
The upgrade lets you move between Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure on two days. Epic Universe still gets a separate day. That distinction is easy to miss if you read “three-park” and assume you can hop among all three.
Park-to-Park is most useful for guests who want the Hogwarts Express or plan to divide the two original parks by attraction instead of spending one full day in each. Our Park-to-Park versus base-ticket guide explains when the upgrade earns its extra cost.
Is This the Best Universal Orlando Deal?
It can be a clean fit for a three-day trip, especially for an eligible Florida resident who wants one day per park. It is less compelling if you want Volcano Bay, more than three park days or repeat visits later in the year. Longer promotional tickets and annual passes can change the comparison.
