Disney and universal Florida. How to do both..

Im heading to Florida in June. Im looking to make reservations at ft wilderness. Im doing like a 2 park pass there and am trying to get universal for two days also.

I dont see anyone that offers a package deal online.

Do I need to buy tickets separate for universal studios?

Anyone know if they do package deals on line with universal and Disney?

Thanks in advance..
  • We’ve stayed at Fort Wilderness and gone to Universal several times. For us Universal is a two day visit – one day for each park – Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure (we haven't been to the water parks). We’ve always gone during a non-busy time of year so we never bought the additional ride reservation system. If you're going during a crowed time or only plan to spend one day you may want to consider the extra cost (the Harry Potter lines will be loooooong). As others have said they are separate parks so they have different ticket packages. Read all the ticket options carefully (single day, multi-day, multi park, etc.).
    Traffic and parking can also be a hassle (and cost) so we’ve used Mears Transportation to go between Disney and Universal Studios (http://www.mearstransportation.com/services/shared-ride-shuttle/).
    We're going back to Fort Wilderness for the Christmas lights this year but do not plan to visit Universal this time.
  • We stayed at Ft. Wilderness some time ago....motorhome and our toad. Took one day and drove the toad to Universal.

    Separate companies, separate $$$.


    Have a great time !
  • Universal is not part of Disney so you won't get that as a combo. IMHO Universal is a one day park.
  • Two different resorts so gonna need two different passes.
    Unless you can get a good travel agent to get it as a deal.

    We looked into it as we are in the fort come July for two and half weeks but couldn't get any good deals so we are just doing Disney this time.
