Universal Orlando
At Magic Lamp Vacations®, we’re not your typical Universal Orlando travel agents.
We don’t just book your trip—we build a custom vacation strategy designed around your family’s pace, preferences, and priorities.
With the opening of Epic Universe, Universal Orlando is bigger, bolder, and more complex than ever—and we’re here to guide you through it all. We advise, advocate, and coach you every step of the way, helping you maximize the fun and minimize the stress.
Because your family deserves the best possible vacation—and you deserve to enjoy the planning process just as much as the parks.
Our Travel-Planning Genies℠ Love to Answer...
Is Universal’s Express Pass worth the investment—and how do you know when to use it?
What’s the most efficient (and magical) way to experience The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™?
How should your family prepare for Epic Universe—and what should they expect from this brand-new theme park?
Our Universal Orlando experts help you cut through the noise, avoid common pitfalls, and design a vacation that feels custom-built for your family—because it is.
Universal operates in very much the same way as Walt Disney World...
and in some ways, it’s simpler. Instead of booking return times, you can skip the regular lines using Universal’s Express Pass—no reservations needed.
But here’s the part most guests miss: A standard Express Pass lets you skip the line once per ride on attractions like Jurassic World, VelociCoaster, The Incredible Hulk Coaster®, and Transformers™. If you want to ride your favorites again (and again), the Unlimited Express Pass is the way to go.
We’ll help you decide which option fits your family best—and we’ll even show you which three Premier Hotels include Unlimited Express Pass for free. It’s one of the easiest ways to upgrade your experience and save money—without lifting a finger.
However, there are some rides that AREN’T included in an Express Pass...
As of now, attractions like Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure™ and Mine-Cart Madness in the new Donkey Kong Country area are not included—so if your heart is set on something specific, let us know upfront. We’ll make sure you have a plan that avoids any last-minute heartbreak at the gate.
And when it comes to Epic Universe? It marches to the beat of its own (very epic) drum. Resort hotels do not include Express Pass access for Epic Universe, even at Premier-level properties—so having a solid strategy matters more than ever. That’s where we come in.
We LOVE Universal and are here to answer all your questions—from “Is getting an interactive wand worth it?” (Yes!!!) to “Should I go to Universal if I get motion sickness?” (Maybe not!!! But we’ll help you build a plan that works either way.)
And we can help you combine vacations...
because nobody knows how to blend Universal Orlando with Walt Disney World® or SeaWorld® like we do. Whether it’s a split stay or a multi-park strategy, we’ll help you get the most magic out of every moment (and we’ll handle all the transportation details too).
Here’s the bottom line: We’ve been to Universal Orlando over and over—and we know all the tips and tricks. Including the ones most people don’t even know exist. Stick with us, and you’ll feel like you’ve got your own Marauder’s Map.
