Exclusive Benefits

Along with the premier price, premier hotel guests enjoy so many benefits that make the extra charges worth it. You get what you pay for, and Universal makes sure you are not disappointed as a Premier guest and that every extra penny is worth it! It is even worth it to do the upgrade to a Club Level room because you will have food options during the day and a special lounge with snacks, drinks, and comfortable seating available to you throughout your stay. 

Universal Express Unlimited
This skip the line service is free with Universal's premier resorts! The difference with the unlimited is that guests can ride as many times as they want. With the Express Pass, there is a limit to once per attraction. 
Early Park Admission
Enter one hour early to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Volcano Bay! This will help skip lines and beat the crowds. 
Note: There are Wizarding Worlds at each Universal Park, and it varies by day whether you will have admission to Universal Studios Orlando or Islands of Adventure. They will post it well in advance, and if you stay multiple days, there is a good chance you will get to do both with this exclusive perk!
Water Taxis and Shuttles
The premier hotels are the closest to the Universal Studios parks, and these taxi services are complimentary for premier hotel guests!  You can head directly to CityWalk or either of the Universal parks by water, or you can choose to go by land, but either way, you will get there quickly, efficiently, and complimentary.  Volcano Bay is only accessible by land, but it is also complimentary. 
Pay with Room Key
Guests can use their room key to charge expenses on Universal property and in the resort. The credit card is linked to the room key for convenience.  Besides the last day of your stay, you get complimentary delivery of all merchandise to your hotel. This is awesome because you do not have to tote all your purchases with you around the parks!  It usually takes about 24 hours for your merchandise to be delivered, so they do not do it on the last day because there is not time for it to get to you.  Delivery ends one hour before park close, so be sure to shop before then! (Weapon like items do not qualify for this service) 
Priority Seating
Premier guests receive priority seating at restaurants and other venues across the Universal property, and they also get access to a concierge who can book these experiences for them.  Advanced reservations are highly recommended!  There is also a Vacation Planning Center hub at each premier resort where you can pick up your tickets for the day and skip the lines at the gate!
