If you keep your stuff in the lockers longer than the free period, charges apply - the charge
is $3 for each additional 30 minutes, up to a maximum daily charge of $20.
Lockers for the water rides are unusually not free and are priced at $4 for the duration of
the ride, and $3 for each additional 30 minutes, up to a maximum daily charge of $20.
List of rides with lockers:
Top tip 1 :Ifyourentedalockerandyourfreetimehasexpiredbecausethelinetooklonger
than expected, tell a team member who will sort out the issue.
Top tip 2 : If you forget your locker number there is a feature that will help you find it.
Top tip 3 : Lockers for water rides are not free; a walk to a locker at a ride where they are
free can save you a significant amount of money over the course of a trip. Forbidden Jour-
ney often has long locker rental times for example.
Top tip 4: The touchscreens on these lockers are terrible, meaning that you will more than
likely find it hard to use your fingers as the lockers often will not register your touches. We
recommend usingyoufingernail oryourknucklestotouchthescreentosolvethisproblem.
All-day park locker rentals:
Non-ride specific lockers are located by the entrance to each park - the cost is $8 per day
for a standard locker or $10 per day for a family size locker (only at Universal Studios
Florida ). Guests may access these lockers as many times as they want throughout the day,
though location can be quite a pain as they are not centrally located.
Universal Express Pass:
If you do not find waiting in line hugely enjoyable (and let's face it, who does?) and are
willing to pay to get on rides quicker, then Universal's Express Pass system is just the sys-
tem for you. The system is free for those staying on-site at Universal deluxe hotels and
can cost anywhere from $39 to $139 per day per person otherwise. Essentially it is a card
that allows you to skip the regular lines at almost every attraction and enter a separate line
which will be significantly shorter and drastically reduce your wait time. For shows, you
will be allowed entry before guests who do not have an Express Pass - usually 15 minutes
before the show is due to begin.
Which rides are not included?
Express Passes are valid on all attractions at both theme parks with the following excep-
tions: Harry Potter and The Forbidden Journey, Ollivander's Wand Shop (Hogsmeade)
and Pteranodon Flyers in Universal's Islands of Adventure. At Universal Studios Florida,
Kang & Kodos' Twirl 'n' Hurl, Hogwarts Express (both stations), Ollivander's Wand Shop
