Does anyone have travel tips for Universal in Orlando, FL?

We are planning on going to Universal Sept 6-12. park passes are included with the hotel stay- so you can visit any of the 2 parks for 7 consecutive days - free (no need to buy the 2 days/ 5 free)! Total price with roundtrip air from Midway, 6 nights at the Universal Royal Pacific Resort (standard room), Alamo (midsize) car rental, and 7 day park passes at Universal for two passengers (1 adult, 1 child) $1712.07
Same package above for 2 adults, 1 child $1885.27
I have never taken a trip like this before. Does this sound like a good deal? We were also thinking about hitting Disney for a day. What park would be ideal for myself and a 9yr old? How much spending money is a resonable (realistic) amount? What kinds of things shouldn't we miss?

The price is about right for where you are staying and the tickets and car, but you need to ask yourself the following questions..........

1 - Do you really need a rental car if you are going to stay at the Universal Studios property most of the time and in the parks all day.

2 - Why not stay in Disney property for a couple of days with the same options (hotel & tickets & free transportation on property)and a few days at Universal?

3 - Why are you getting a 7 day pass to Universal (you really only need 2 to 3 days TOPS to see EVERYTHING there).

4 - I sugest staying in Disney property (better deal on airfare, rental car, hotel, tickets & transportation on property), and visiting Universal Studios, Islands of Adventures and City Walk.

By the way the BEST Disney park for a 9 year old is the Magic Kingdom, them MGM Studios, then EPCOT and last Amimal Kingdom.

Because you are limited with your time I suggest the following itinerary:

Day 1 - Arrival to Hotel and then go to Downtown Disney or City Walk for shopping.

Day 2 - Magic Kingdom.

Day 3 - MGM Studios or Universal Studios.

Day 4 - EPCOT CENTER (dont forget to see Illuminations Laser Show and Fireworks at 9 pm).

Day 5 - Islands of Adventures.

Day 6 - Water Park (Wet & Wild or Typhoon Lagoon).

Day 7 - Shoping in the morning, then fly home in the afternoon.

Check out www.waltdisneyworld.com for hotel / tickets at disney.
Check out www.universalorlando.com for hotel / tickets at Universal.

As far as spending money is concerned for food, souvenirs and incidentals for one week - minimum $75 per person / per day.
