Planning a trip to any destination requires a lot of patience and coordination. Planning a trip to a theme park on the other hand, takes a lot more patience, as every little detail has to be meticulously planned.

Now if you are planning trips to Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida there are a few things to think of before going. The Islands of Adventure are part of the Orlando Universal Resort, which was once known as Universal Studios Florida. Visitors depart from the main port into 5 islands, which have their own unique themes (Toon Lagoon, Marvel Superhero Island, The Lost Continent, Jurassic Park, and Seuss Landing). Each island has its own rides and attractions based on the theme.

The first thing you can do when planning a trip to Islands of Adventure is to know more about the place. One can visit its website. Or you could also opt to call the Orlando Universal Resort at 407-363-8000. You can find out the park’s opening and closing hours, when peak season is and other relevant information you might need for planning your trip.

Visitors to the theme park must be aware of the peak season of the park. Student breaks usually mean that the park is full of people, and tourists might have a hard time going around the park due to the volume of people inside. One solution to this particular problem is to avail of the Universal Studios Express Plus Passes. This enables the visitor to skip the long lines of the attraction to immediately get inside. There are different types of Express Plus Passes (7 day passes for 1 or 2 people and 1 day passes for 1 or 2 people). Acquiring these passes means that you won’t have to be burdened by the long lines at each attraction you want to experience.

If you are a tourist who also needs a place to stay, Orlando Universal Resort also has numerous hotels. Some of the hotels are the Loews Royal Pacific Resort, Loews Portofino Bay Hotel and the Hard Rock Hotel. These hotels are located inside the Orlando Universal Resort; saving you the effort of going from another hotel and driving all the way to IOA. Also, Loews hotel guests can use their room keys as Express Plus Passes. All you have to do is to present your room key at the attraction and you will be able to skip the lines and get inside.

Also, try to make sure that you have booked properly. Orlando Universal Resort offers online booking to its guests. It makes it easier for the guests to book their stay in the hotels and purchase their tickets to avoid the hassle of buying from the place itself upon getting there. Orlando Universal Resort also offers travel packages for guests interested in staying in one of the three hotels inside the resort.

Be sure to book your stay and buy your tickets early, plan ahead of time and take note of how to get there from the airport, and always double check your itinerary.
