Hot on the heels of the price increase at Disney World, Universal Orlando has now also raised the cost of its tickets. Effective immediately, a day at Universal will now cost $102 before tax, up from $96. Children's tickets have been raised to $97 (previously $90). Single-day park to park admission will now cost $147 (previously $136). The park-to-park ticket is required to ride the Hogwarts Express train that links the Harry Potter lands at Universal's two theme parks. However, unlike Disney, which also increased the price of its AP's by nearly 10 percent, Universal's annual passes remain the same.
Well you get the fast pass option if you stay at their hotels (Portofino, Hard Rock and Royal Pacific).
