I have a response :
Thank you for your email. I can see that we have sent you the Universal 3 park explorer ticket. We have confirmation from Universal that the 3 park explorer ticket will be valid to use in Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure from the 19th May and valid for Volcano Bay from the 1st June. The reason Kelly advised you yesterday that you would be sent a 2 park explorer ticket if you were to book now is because the Universal 2 park explorer tickets can be exchanged free of charge when Volcano Bay opens to include the third park and this is how we issue tickets for people travelling in may now. I can confirm that your 3 park explorer tickets are valid to be used before Volcano Bay opens and I sincerely apologise for any confusion caused in regards to your tickets. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact me, Kind regards, Jess, Reservations Agent, |

Hmm, I tried to look up this advert online but couldn't find a recent one (admittedly, I didn't spend a long time looking for it).
Universal's website doesn't mention a date - it just says "Early Summer 2017". The closest thing I can find is this article below: orlandosentinel/trave...621-story.html That says, "Although June 1 is not the park's official opening date, Universal leaders say families considering next year's summer vacations can plan for it to open by then". Which, if anything, sounds like VB's opening date will be sometime in May, not June 1st. Do you know of anywhere online where I can see the advert?

I listen to a lot of Orlando podcasts and one of them (not sure which) had someone saying they had heard it was running behind schedule and that June 1st is unlikely! I've only heard it on the one podcast so possibly no truth in it. My concern is buying a 3 park ticket and then finding the park isn't open and I cant use it. I would have paid more for a ticket I cant use. We're not there until early July but still concerned about spending extra on something I wont be able to utilise.

All the ticket companies I have searched charge the same for the 3 Park Explorer as they do for the 2 Park Explorer, so you wouldn't be paying extra. Maybe someone else knows of a company that charges lower for the 2 Park, but I haven't seen one.

It does say on the universal advert that it opens 1st of June ( at the bottom in small writing ) , watched it yesterday.
I'm still waiting to see how much a day ticket is as our tickets apparently don't have vb included. I'm waiting to pay for them after June to see if this really is the case .

Ok, I'll try and keep an eye out for the general Universal Resort advert (the Volcano Bay advert just says "Early Summer" at the end). Thanks.
It is strange because, as Universal have stated in their emails, they haven't actually officially announced the opening date yet.

I hope it opens sometime around June. We will be activating our park tickets on the 10th June so as long as it opens by the 24th we might get to go.
I was really looking forward to it so it will be a shame if I miss it. |
