What is a good price for Universal? (and can you change with Virgin Holidays?)

I'm not sure whether we should book now or wait. We have been quoted Ł908 for two kids and two adults, and about Ł100 more.

I'm kind of assuming that Ł908 is probably not too bad (for three parks), and so we should just go for it.

Also, assuming that Ł300 odd is okay for one night at Loews Royal Pacific is okay?

Should say, this is for August 2018.

I rushed (too fast) into Virgin flights for 2018, and realised I should have waited, so now I'm just wanting to make sure I'm not rushing too fast again.

Thanks!

I can't help you with ticket costs I'm afraid because I can't remember how much ours were (plus only for 2 parks and 2 adults)

We paid Ł200 for Royal Pacific and I have seen others paying a similar price so you might want to hold out for a better price.

I've been looking at RPR for Aug 2018 and seen it for around Ł230 with sunshine

Loews Royal Pacific does not offer Express Pass so I would look for an alternative Universal Hotel such as Hard Rock.

Ł300 a night is way too much

Express passes are included in your stay at Royal Pacific Resort, that's why I upgraded from Cabana Bay

Taken from Universal website:

Picking Up Your Universal Express Unlimited™ Pass
When you stay at Loews Royal Pacific Resort, you'll receive a free* Universal Express Unlimited™ pass to skip the regular lines at participating rides and attractions at Universal Studios Florida™ and Universal's Islands of Adventure™. Use your room key at the Universal Express Unlimited™ kiosk in the hotel lobby to receive your Universal Express Unlimited™ Pass upon check-in (restrictions apply). Your pass is valid from the time it’s issued to you until Universal Orlando Resort™ theme parks close on the day of your check-out/departure. Separate theme park admission is required.

express passes are definitely included, we had them last July and doing the same again this year. May be you are thinking of Cabana Bay?

I'd say that's a fair price for tickets. I normally use orlandoattractions.com for decent priced tickets but for what you want there's are Ł936. Though they send you the tickets out so you have them ready to use straight away. I dont know if it's still the same but when we used to buy them through Virgin we'd have to go to will call to pick up the tickets. Sometimes the queue is mad for that so I'd probably pay the little extra to skip the wait!

At the moment on hotels.com (who we used for RPR this year) you can get a night in August for Ł250.
