With its behind-the-scenes
studio tour and movie-themed rides, Universal Studios Florida
is a "must-see" attraction for families visiting
Orlando and staying at our property.
The park opened in 1990, and
was re-vamped during 2000/2001 as Islands of Adventure was
completed and opened. It's now taken its rightful place as
one of the top3 attractions in the area - and should stay
that way!
 The
Studios are not just a theme park. They are real, working
studios, producing commercials, television shows and movies,
as well as doing pre and post-production work on other shows.
Make sure you take the time
out of your day to see some of the word by visiting the Production
Central area of Universal Studios.
To take a tour and find out more about each of the attractions,
shows and rides at Universal Studios, simply click on the
menu on the left. It's broken down into the 6 main areas
of the Studios, and you can click on any of the features
listed in the sub-menus to see more details.
Universal Studios - Ride the Movies is open 365 days of the
year, typically from 9:00am. Closing times vary depending
on the season - but are typically from 6:00pm. Of course,
Universal CityWalk stays open till late - so you can always
stay after the day at the park and enjoy a meal, a movie,
some live music or a drink.
Whatever else you do - make sure that you get a Universal
Express Pass when you come to either of the Universal
Parks.
We suggest that you arrive as early as possible, use the
valet parking, rush to the gate, and then run around (anti-clockwise)
to Back to the Future first! That way, you'll beat all the
waiting in line at this fabulous ride, and you can spend
the rest of the day exploring (it worked for us). Other favorites
are the Men in Black ride and Terminator 2 3D - who are we
kidding - ALL the rides here are stupendous!
Universal Studios is well laid out as far as access goes,
especially for those guests that need to use Wheelchairs.
Generally the aisles and pathways are plenty wide enough
to accommodate any of the electric mobility vehicles that
can be rented within the park.
One final tip...we recommend that you take the extra expense
for the valet parking. It's a lot closer to the entrance,
and will save your (doubtless!) aching feet at the end of
the day!
Guests should take Hwy 192 to the I-4 interchange
and take the I-4 Eastbound toward Orlando. Exit at junction
30A (Universal Blvd) and take a left and follow signs to
Universal.
Ample parking is available for all vehicles. Parking is chargeable
at $7.00 per car. If you want to avoid the walk (long) from
the car-parks, we recommend that you use the valet parking
facility at $14.00 per vehicle.
