Think waiting for a discount is the best way to save money at Universal Orlando? Think again. In this episode, Holli turns the key on the real strategies that keep more dollars in your pocket — without cutting corners on the fun.

From dynamic hotel pricing and why booking early really matters, to the difference between packages and stand-alone reservations, to the smartest ways to use Express Pass, Holli shares insider knowledge that most guests (and even some influencers) don’t explain.

Whether you’re planning for the holidays, spring break, or beyond, this episode will help you unlock the value in your Universal Orlando vacation.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why Universal’s dynamic pricing makes booking early the smartest strategy
  • The advantages of booking a package vs. separate hotel + ticket reservations
  • How longer stays stretch your ticket dollars further
  • The flexibility of Universal add-ons vs. Disney’s “all-or-nothing” approach
  • The best ways to save on Express Pass, including the ghost room trick and the 2025 multi-day Express test
