If you are a Florida resident, then you can get special discounts on standard day tickets as well as annual passes by buying a Florida Residents ticket.
Universal Studios Florida® operate two theme parks in Orlando, Universal Studios Florida and the new roller-coaster park, Islands of Adventure plus the music and entertainment venue, Universal CityWalk®.
Universal Studios used to sell just one or two day tickets which admitted you to either Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure or both. From January 2010 they started selling their "U Select" pass which gave you the choice of a single park or both parks for either one, two, three, four or seven days admission. This is similar to Disney's "Magic Your Way" ticket system. In 2011 the seven day ticket was dropped and replaced by a "length of stay" 14 day ticket.
Florida Residents tickets only offer the one, two or three day ticket options.
The "base ticket" gives you access to one park per day whilst the "park-to-park" option allows you to hop between the two parks on any given day, like Disney's "hopper" add-on. The "park-to-park" option costs an additional $10 to $35 per ticket depending upon the number of days. Unlike Disney though, there is not a "no expiry" option or "water park" option.
You can buy either:
If you buy at least a two day ticket, then you also get up to 14 consecutive calendar days of access to the paid venues at Universal CityWalk (excluding the AMC Universal Cineplex 20 and the Blue Man Group Show).

Like most of the Florida theme parks, anyone aged 10 or over on the day of their first entry to the theme parks is classed as an adult and will have to buy an adult ticket. Children between the ages of 3 and 9 are classed as children and may purchase a child ticket. Children under the age of 3 are admitted for free.
These prices are the standard ticket prices you would expect to pay at the gate (unless stated otherwise). Prices do not include local taxes and tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
All prices are subject to change and you should check with Universal Orlando for the latest prices.
