Let’s start this guide with the most common question we receive which is: are there payment plans for Universal Studios Orlando? To confirm, families who book a Universal Orlando vacation package, which includes a hotel and theme park tickets, can take advantage of a payment plan as long as their travel dates are more than 45 days away. Guests who meet the 45-day requirement can book their Universal Orlando vacation package for as little as $50 per person down. The other benefit to taking advantage of an official Universal Orlando vacation package through an official Universal travel agency like The Park Prodigy is guests can make as many or as few payments as they would like, with the most important thing being that your vacation package is paid in full at the 45-day mark. Another benefit of booking through a Universal travel agency is that guests can also take advantage of this payment plan even if they plan to stay at one of the Universal Orlando-friendly neighbor hotels as long as they include tickets in their package. It’s important to note that there are no payment plans for guests who are only looking to take advantage of Universal Orlando theme park tickets.
As discussed above, guests looking to take advantage of the Universal Orlando vacation package payment plan can book their trip for as little as $50 per person down as long as their travel dates are greater than 45 days away. The only difference here would be if you also wanted to include the official Universal Orlando travel insurance in your package, in which case you would simply pay the $50 per person down plus the cost of the travel insurance as your deposit.
Another popular question we receive is, can I still set up a payment plan even if I book through a travel agent? Yes, in fact, booking through an official Universal travel agency like The Park Prodigy is one of the main benefits compared to some of the large online wholesalers out there. The benefit of booking your Universal Orlando vacation through a travel agent like The Park Prodigy or any Universal travel agent is that you would have access to the exact same payment plan and financing options that Universal Orlando provides directly to guests. However, you would also receive all of the added benefits of booking through our small business such as our pre-trip concierge service.
To confirm, all discount Universal Orlando vacation packages booked through The Park Prodigy would automatically only be charged the $50 per person deposit as long as they are booked more than 45-days away. Guests can simply just let their Park Prodigy travel planner know that they would like to pay your Universal Orlando vacation off over time and we will help you schedule your payments. As discussed, you can make weekly payments or simply one payment at a later date as long as your full balance is paid off by the 45-day mark before your trip.
Another very popular question we receive on this topic is, can I ask for an extension on my Universal Orlando package payment plan? Officially, guests do have to make sure that their Universal Orlando vacation package is paid in full by the 45-day mark. However, one of the other benefits of working with a company like The Park Prodigy is we will give you reminders as we get closer to your trip, and although it’s not guaranteed, we can always request to get an extra day or two to make sure payment is made. And, in the rare case that you would need some additional time, we can always work with you to possibly move your trip to a different date in the future, which would give you extra time to pay off your vacation.
Unfortunately, there are no payment plans for families looking to take advantage of just Universal Orlando tickets at this time. This means that if you are just looking to purchase Universal Orlando tickets without a hotel, then you must purchase them with the full amount due at the time of the transaction. It’s also important to understand that, unlike an official Universal Orlando vacation package ticket, ticket-only purchases are also non-refundable. So for this reason, we always recommend that guests who know that they might need a hotel for their trip price out a Universal Orlando vacation package because it might be more money; however, it will also give you the ability to pay your trip off over time and you would flexibility when it comes to your trip cancelation. However, on the flip side, if you do already have your hotel, there are other benefits that guests can take advantage of by booking through a travel agency like The Park Prodigy, such as early park admission, which is included in all of our multi-day Universal Orlando tickets!
As discussed, there is no minimum monthly payment after you book your Universal Orlando vacation package. Guests can choose to pay weekly, monthly, or simply pay their full package off one last time at the 45-day mark.
Universal Orlando offers payment plans for guests booking hotel and ticket vacation packages more than 45 days in advance. This does include any special promotional packages Universal might be running, including the save up to 30% promotion , which it has run in years past, and can be a great way for families to save and budget for their upcoming trip.
Our Universal Orlando Crowd Calendar is the best tool to help you get the most out of your time in the parks. We break down the park crowds, park hours of operation, ticket prices by day, and average temperature.
