Universal Orlando Fun
Two Parks, One Incredible Day
Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are home to some of the most thrilling movie-themed rides on the planet. Park-to-park tickets let you access both parks on the same day. The Harry Potter inspired Hogwarts Express connects the two parks with a ride from Hogsmeade Station to King's Cross Station. It is an experience in itself.
All of our Kissimmee vacation homes are a short drive from Universal. Here are the rides and attractions our guests and our team recommend the most.

From wizarding worlds to water rides, these are the attractions worth planning your day around.
Diagon Alley
The only place in the world where you feel like you've stepped inside the Harry Potter films. The detail is extraordinary.
The Simpsons Ride
A wild virtual ride through Krustyland. Fast, funny, and packed with references that fans of the show will love.
Revenge of the Mummy
A special effects roller coaster in the dark with beetles, mummies, fireballs, and genuine jump scares. One of Florida's best indoor coasters.
