Sometimes the hotel room is the Express Pass.

Run the simple math before you book. If your group is buying Express for Universal Studios Florida or Islands of Adventure anyway, a Premier hotel night can be cheaper than it looks.

People using Express Count the people who would actually use Express. Express days covered A Premier stay can cover check-in and check-out days. Express price per person/day Use the exact date and park price you see. Premier hotel room total Room, tax, and fees for the night you are comparing. Other hotel room total Your cheaper hotel, off-site room, or existing hotel night. Switching hassle This keeps the calculator honest.

Who should care

Groups of three or more, peak dates, families already considering Express, and anyone choosing between Royal Pacific, Hard Rock, Portofino Bay, and a cheaper room.

Who can ignore it

If you would not buy Express anyway, do not talk yourself into a Premier hotel just because the math looks neat.

The big catch

Premier hotel Express is for participating Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure attractions. Do not use this as Epic Universe Express math.
