Questions
Frequently asked questions
Does it cost more to book Universal through you?
No. You pay the same price as booking directly. We’re compensated by Universal, not you, and there’s never a planning fee.
Is Express Pass worth it?
It depends on your dates, your hotel and how much you want to ride. We’ll give you an honest answer for your trip.
How many days do we need for Epic Universe?
Most people plan at least one full day for Epic Universe alone. We’ll help you fit it in with the other parks.
