Is Rampant Inflation Making Disney World Too Expensive? Here Are 8 Reasons Locals Prefer Universal Studios

1. Universal Orlando Resort Costs Substantially Less Than Disney

Even during Florida’s high tourism seasons, Universal Orlando Resort tickets can be as much as 50% cheaper than Walt Disney World tickets.

2. Park-hop, Shop, Eat and Catch a Concert Without Getting in the Car

With two theme parks side-by-side and Universal Orlando City Walk in between them, getting from one Universal Orlando Resort Park to another is just a few steps (or even a ride!) away.

3. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

This is a point all on its own. Universal Orlando Resort is most known for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

4. Universal Orlando Resort Has More Thrill Rides

Before Hollywood Studios, MGM was the only place you could go on a rollercoaster in Walt Disney World with thrilling loops and corkscrew curves.

5. More Teen-friendly and Adult-friendly Pop Culture

There will likely be a day and time that your kids will outgrow their interest in beloved Disney characters and movies. We all love the nostalgia of Disney movies, and visiting Disney World is a treat for most. But this is where Universal Studios comes in and is a hit with the teen and adult crowd.

6. Universal Resort Orlando’s Fantastic Seasonal Events

Mardi Gras, Halloween Horror Nights, and Grinchmas make up several months of exceptional experiences unique to Universal Orlando Resort.
