| Park website | $124 | 1-Day, 1-Park from price, plus tax. Busy dates cost more |
| Undercover Tourist | — | Sells Universal tickets with tax included; compare the total. We couldn't load its Universal Studios prices |

My take: for one day, Universal's own from price is hard to beat. If you're a Florida resident, the $199 unlimited ticket wins as soon as you go twice before Dec 16.– John
