Comparing the Options

Cost Considerations:

The Florida Unlimited Days Ticket is an excellent deal at $199, especially if you plan multiple visits before December 18, 2024. Considering a two-day park-to-park ticket costs around $174+, the Unlimited Days Ticket quickly pays for itself.
For frequent visitors, the Preferred Annual Pass at $460 or the Premier Annual Pass at $765 offers more comprehensive benefits and flexibility, including parking savings, discounts, and special event access.

The Verdict

The Florida Unlimited Days Ticket is perfect for Florida residents planning a few visits to Universal Orlando before December 18, 2024. It offers great value and unlimited access for the remainder of the year. However, for those intending to visit frequently, the Preferred or Premier Annual Passes would likely be a better option as they provide more perks resulting in an overall savings. If maximizing your Universal Orlando experience is your goal, the annual passes are likely the better choice.
