Universal, sorted out before you go
Universal has gotten big, and it isn't just Orlando anymore. Orlando has two original parks, a water park, and the new Epic Universe. Out in California there's Universal Hollywood. And right here in Texas, the brand-new Universal Kids Resort opens in Frisco in July 2026. I book all of them, plus the whole menu of ticket and Express Pass options that change what your day looks like. I'm certified through Universal, so I plan these trips around the rides and the Wizarding World, not the booking screens. You tell me who's coming and how you like to tour. I build the rest.
What I Plan Here
Universal Orlando is the big one — two parks, Volcano Bay, and Epic Universe. But I also book Universal Hollywood in California, and the new Universal Kids Resort opening in Frisco, Texas in July 2026, which is a perfect fit for younger families and an easy trip for us here in Texas. Tell me which one fits your crew and I'll build the whole thing.
Park-to-park or single park, how many days, and the big one: does your group need Express Pass. On a busy week it can save you hours of standing in line. On a quiet one it's money you didn't need to spend. I tell you straight which way it falls for your dates.
Universal's premier hotels include Express Pass for your whole stay and early entry to the Wizarding World, which is a real head start on the popular rides. The value tiers skip the pass but keep the location. I match the hotel to how hard you plan to ride.
The Wizarding World spans both original parks, so the Hogwarts Express only pays off with a park-to-park ticket. I plan your days around the headliners, the new Epic Universe lands, and Volcano Bay if you want a water day built in.
Beyond the gates I handle flights, transfers, and the details so you land with everything in hand. It's a no-obligation consultation to start, and you get on-site early access and perks you can't book yourself.
Why Not Just Book Online
You're probably wondering whether an advisor actually saves you anything. Fair question. So here's the honest comparison, every moment of the trip: you with a booking site, versus you with me in your corner. The cheap booking is the expensive one when the trip goes sideways.
One thing I'll always be straight about: there's a planning fee for my time, and it keeps my hours on travelers who are actually going instead of endless price-shopping. The commission is already baked into the resort or cruise price whether you use me or not, and the Signature upgrades and credits I get you often offset what you pay me. Book direct and the line just keeps my share. You get the same base price, none of the perks, and no one in your corner when something breaks.

One call. I already know the resort, the ship, the right month, the right room class. I send 1–2 vetted options.
