Universal Orlando Vacations Planned For You
From Hogwarts to Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit—Universal trips planned start to finish, without you having to decode every blog and Facebook group.
Universal looks “simpler” than Disney, but it still has plenty of moving parts: tickets, hotels, Express Pass, transportation, early entry, and more. I handle the planning and booking so you can focus on the fun—not figuring out what you missed.
Epic Universe Planning (2025–2026)
Universal’s Epic Universe is going to change the game in Orlando—but it also adds a ton of confusion for first-time visitors. Which park do you prioritize? Do you stay at an Epic Universe hotel or one of the original Universal resorts? How many days do you actually need?
I help you sort through all of that:
Which gate(s) to focus on – Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, or a mix
Which hotel makes sense – including Express Pass resorts, Epic Universe-area hotels, and budget-friendly options
When to go in 2025–2026 – balancing opening buzz, crowd levels, school schedules, and your tolerance for “new and busy”
Types of Universal Trips I Plan
Most of my Universal planning focuses on:
Universal Orlando Resort
Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay—plus the on-site hotels and partner properties.Universal-only Trips
When you just want thrills, coasters, Harry Potter, and a more compact trip without stacking Disney on top.Universal Add-On to a Disney Trip
If you’re already doing Disney, I help bolt on a day or few at Universal without turning your schedule into chaos.
If you’re not sure whether you should do just Universal or Universal + Disney, that’s part of what I help you sort out.

What I Handle For Your Universal Vacation *
Here’s what’s on my side of the job when you book a Universal trip through me:
Hotel & Room Recommendations
I match you to the right Universal or partner hotel based on budget, party size, and whether you want included Express Pass, walking distance, or just a place to crash.Tickets & Park Days
I help you decide how many days, whether you need park-to-park tickets (spoiler: you do if you want the Hogwarts Express), and how to split your time between the parks and Volcano Bay.Express Pass & Add-Ons
I explain when Express Pass is worth it, when it’s not, and which hotels include it so you’re not overspending or missing out.Basic Park Strategy
I map out a sensible order for parks and priority attractions so you’re not wandering around just hoping for the best.Transportation Planning
I walk you through how you’re getting from the airport to the hotel, and between Universal and Disney if you’re combining both.Key Dates & Reminders
I track important deadlines—final payments, any special booking windows, and other details—so you’re not juggling everything alone.Pre-Trip Adjustments & Questions
Need to adjust room type, add a day, or change something? I help manage the changes and explain your options clearly.
Adding Universal to a Disney Trip
Step 1: You Tell Me the Basics
You tell me who’s going, your dates or date range, budget, and whether it’s Universal-only or Universal + Disney.
Step 2: I Build Your Universal Options
I put together hotel and ticket options that match what you told me, with clear pricing and notes on Express Pass, distance to parks, and overall feel.
Step 3: We Choose and Book
You pick what feels right, and I handle the booking and confirmations so you know exactly what you have.
Step 4: I Map Out a Reasonable Plan
I help lay out your park days, basic strategy, and key things to know for your group—without overwhelming you with a 20-page manual.
Step 5: You Travel With Backup
If something comes up before or during your Universal stay, you reach out to me. I help you understand your options and next steps instead of you trying to figure it out alone.
My planning services for Universal are paid by the suppliers when you book through me. There is no extra cost added to your package for using me as your advisor.
Who My Universal Planning Services Are Best For
My Universal planning services are ideal if:
You want thrill rides, Harry Potter, and big coasters without micro-managing every detail
You’re adding Universal onto an already full Disney trip and need it to fit without burning everyone out
You want clear answers on Express Pass, hotels, and ticket types
You’d rather have one person coordinate the moving parts than juggle it yourself
If you want a straightforward, realistic plan and someone managing the logistics, this is for you.
Is Universal (and Epic Universe) Right for You?
Universal is perfect for you if:
You love thrill rides, immersive lands, and a slightly edgier vibe than Disney.
You’ve got older kids, teens, or adults who are all-in on Harry Potter, coasters, and big headliner attractions.
I might steer you elsewhere if:
You have very young kids who won’t meet many height requirements and will spend most of the day watching everyone else ride.
You want a super slow-paced, low-stimulation trip where rides and shows aren’t the main event.
I’ll be honest about whether Epic Universe and Universal make sense for your crew right now—or whether your money is better spent on a different style of trip and saved for a future Universal visit.
If Universal is on your radar—by itself or combined with Disney—start with a quick quote request. I’ll show you the hotel and ticket options that actually fit your situation and help you avoid wasting time and money on the wrong setup.
