Universal Orlando is introducing a Florida-resident ticket offer that allows repeated entry to Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios theme parks through Dec. 18. Its price is $199.
Buyers can move between the two parks freely with this ticket, which is dubbed the Florida Unlimited Days Ticket.
These tickets will include the parks’ holidays celebrations (Grinchmas, parade and more), which begin Nov. 22.
Universal Studios park recently has added the Mega Movie Parade and “CineSational: A Symphonic Spectacular” nighttime show with drones, prancing fountains, projections and pyrotechnics. It also opened DreamWorks Land, a retheming and enhancement of its former KidZone area using characters from “Shrek,” “Kung Fu Panda” and other animated films. A new projection show called “Hogwarts Forever” is playing now at IOA.

The ticket does not include after-hours events such as Halloween Horror Nights, parking or merchandise discounts. There is not an option that includes Universal’s Volcano Bay water park.
The new Florida-resident ticket is available online now, but it is not sold at the entrance to the parks. Visitors must present proof of Florida residency at time of purchase, ticket pick-up and redemption, according to Universal’s website.
Ticket prices for one day at the two parks normally start at $146. Universal’s two-park annual passes currently sell for $299 to $765 for Florida residents, depending on block-out dates and level of benefits.
