Universal Orlando Holidays: Family Holiday Deals During School Holidays From €969pp
Treat your family to trip of a lifetime and explore Orlando’s brand new theme park – Universal Epic Universe. I’ve hand-picked amazing Universal Orlando Holidays for families during Summer, Mid Term and Easter holidays.
Universal Orlando Resort has always been the ultimate family holiday choice, providing the perfect mix of thrills, magic, and unforgettable memories. And now, with the launch of Universal Epic Universe – the first new theme park in Orlando in 25 years, there’s even more to discover and enjoy! I’ve handpicked the best Universal Orlando holidays to help you plan an unforgettable family adventure to one of the world’s top theme park destinations.
Universal Orlando Resort now has four amazing theme parks: Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Volcano Bay and the brand new Epic Universe. Marvel at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter™, get lost in Jurassic Park, immerse yourself in Super Nintendo World, enjoy jaw-dropping rollercoasters and simulator rides, watch sensational shows, and experience 19 different water attractions, including a real sand beach, at Volcano Bay.
I visited Universal Studios a few years ago with my family and we were blown away by the Wizarding World of Harry Potter™, as well as the array of rollercoasters, simulator rides and attractions. I will never forget the look in daughter Alex’s face when she was chosen to receive a wand in Ollivanders Wand Shop – it was pure magic!
And now, with the opening of Epic Universe, featuring the all new Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ Ministry of Magic™, as well as Super Nintendo World, How to Train Your Dragon Isle of Berk, Dark Universe and Celestial Park – I can’t wait to go back! You can read more about Epic Universe here and at the bottom of this post.
The days of squeezing the highlights of Universal Orlando Resort into a couple of days are long gone. With so many world-class attractions and thrilling experiences across the four parks, you will want to allow plenty of time to take it all in. To make the most of holidays at Universal Orlando I highly recommend staying in one of Universal’s 11 themed hotels, to enjoy exclusive perks, including early park access one hour before the park officially opens.
I have teamed up with USA specialists American Sky who offer a wide selection of Universal holidays as well twin and multi-centre holidays in Florida and beyond. I have hand-picked some of the best Universal Orlando holidays – and all are staying on site in Universal hotels.

About Universal Epic Universe:
Epic Universe is Universal Studios brand new theme park that opened on the 22nd of May 2025. It has 5 different worlds in one amazing theme park:
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ Ministry of Magic™ is inspired by Fantastic Beasts, with themes from 920s Paris to the 1990s British Ministry. The main attraction, Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry, is a dark ride that transports visitors via a magical transit system. The area also features a live stage show that brings to life fantastic beasts through aerial performances and puppetry.
Super Nintendo World, a vibrant, interactive land that brings the Nintendo universe to life with attractions like Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge which I rode in Universal Studios in Los Angeles – I can confirm it is awesome! Visitors can wear a Power-Up Band, which allows them to participate in interactive challenges and collect digital coins throughout the land.
How to Train Your Dragon Isle of Berk transports you to the Isle of Berk and has five attractions, including the exhilarating Hiccup’s Wing Gliders, a family-friendly coaster, Dragon Racer’s Rally, a more thrilling experience as well as an interactive boat ride and a live show.
Dark Universe is dedicated to Universal’s famous monsters and set in a gothic village. Classic Universal Monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein come to life and the main attractions are Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment – a high-tech dark ride, and Curse of the Werewolf, a spinning coaster that races through a foggy forest.
Celestial Park connects all five worlds together and is home to Stardust Racers – a dual-launch coaster reaching speeds up to 62 mph, as well as a choice of dining options and lush gardens for you to relax in.
