Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Set dates for your vacation. Planning your vacation ahead of time will allow you to purchase cheaper travel options, as well as allow flexibility for any unforeseen circumstances that may arrive. If possible, plan your vacation during Fall and Winter months, when rates are likely to be cheaper. You may also want to plan your vacation around certain events that take place in the park, such as Halloween or Christmas events to get even more out of your visit.
Create a budget for your vacation. To do so, you will need to take into account the cost of hotel accommodations, food, transportation and souvenir purchases. To save money on your trip, stay at hotels located off of the theme park grounds, as rates will be cheaper. Many nearby hotels may offer free shuttle transportation, eliminating the need to pay for parking. You should also plan where you will eat during your vacation, since food in the theme park will be more expensive. You can save money by eating at fast food restaurants or packing your own sandwiches and drinks for your visit to the park.
Create an itinerary of rides and attractions you would like to visit. Universal Studios is quite large and maximizing the most out of your visit will require planning. Make a list of rides and attractions you definitely want to see while at Universal Studios. Plan to arrive early to visit the more popular attractions and visit the less popular attractions later in the day to ensure you see everything you want. You can also take other attractions outside of the park into consideration, as well. Universal Studios in Orlando is located near Seaworld and Disneyworld, for example. If you would like to visit other parks, be sure to include time in your itinerary.
