One of the best ways to save money in an Orlando vacation is with Universal Studio discount tickets. And the great news is that there are a lot of places that you can go to get them.

Did you know that you can get Universal Studios discounted tickets directly from Universal itself? It’s true. Simply order tickets online or via the phone before your vacation (if you’re having them mailed to your home, you’ll want to order them a minimum of 2 weeks early to make certain they reach you in time) and you’ll save off the regular gate price.

There are other places to find cheap Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure tickets too. Maple Leaf tickets, Undercover Tourist, and several other licensed ticket sellers will also save you money off of the regular gate price. Make certain that you’re dealing with a licensed ticket seller and compare prices between several possible dealers before making your final decision.

Check with your travel agent. AAA offers special deals on tickets and vacation packages, as well as being able to get you discounts on hotels, airfare, car rentals and more as well as being a full fledged travel agency. You may find that your vacation savings are well worth the initial sign up fee.

Here are some things to keep in mind if you’re buying tickets from anyone other than Universal Studios or your travel agent:

1. Never buy used tickets to a theme park. Even if the tickets are transferable, you may find that there are no days left, or not enough. Multiple day tickets are cheaper than individual days, so having to purchase an additional 1 day ticket will probably eat up all your savings or more.

2. Beware of price quotes. Many times the savings listed are compared to that many days of individual tickets. As above, multiple day tickets are cheaper than single visit tickets, so you’ll want to compare prices that way.

3. If purchasing tickets from eBay, make certain that the seller has solid feedback AND that they’re a licensed ticket reseller.

Keeping this information in mind, you should have no problem finding the perfect Universal Studios discount tickets for your vacation.
