Universal Resorts through Expedia

[Reereef]

Hi all

I’d like to book a Universal Resort (LPB) to take advantage of extra hours and express pass.

Do I need to book through universal to get these perks? Or will I still get them booking through somewhere like Expedia?

Also, I haven’t got our Universal tickets yet and didn’t intend to get them until just before we go. Will that matter?

Many thanks!

You can book with who ever you wish... generally who ever is cheapest
PB HR RP, all 3 give you folp.
As for the tickets, you can pay at the gate on the day, but would probably be cheaper buying beforehand!

Thank you! That’s great!

Yup, you can book with whoever for the Universal hotels. Ebookers and Expedia usually offer really good cashback rates. I’ve booked with Ebookers this time and spent my bonus points for more money off. If you shop at Tesco, you can also trade Clubcard points for Hotels.com vouchers (£5 buys you £15 of vouchers!).

You get the early entry/FOTL perk no matter where you buy your hotel room from.

For your tickets, I would recommend Orlando Attractions. They are always the cheapest for us. We’ve booked Disney tickets/room and DDP through them this time and will be booking our Universal tickets soon!

We booked for 2017 with Expedia. Used their price match several times before we arrived and saved hundreds.
