The top pick for families who want to minimize wait times, since premier hotels include Universal Express Pass for every guest. You can walk or take a water taxi to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, with transportation to Epic Universe as well. It's a premium price, but the included Express Pass alone can be worth it during busy seasons.
