Following Walt Disney World's recent price hike, Universal Orlando have bumped up there on-the-gate ticket prices.

It will now cost punters an extra $3 for a one-day/one-park ticket, costing $85. A one-day/both-parks (Islands of Adventure & Universal Studios) ticket now costs $120, up $8.

In comparison to other Florida parks, one-day entry to Walt Disney World is $85, Busch Gardens Tampa $80 and SeaWorld $72.

However, only a fool pays top dollar. It is cheaper to purchase Universal tickets online or looking for special multi-park deals.
