Shopping for souvenirs at Universal Studios or Islands of Adventure? Depending on if you are a Universal Orlando Resort guest or not, you may have special perks available to you. Many of us like to break halfway through our day and do some souvenir shopping. However, once we purchase the item(s), we a stuck carrying them with us as we travel throughout the park. This means using lockers or carrying large bags on to rides. Read more about package pick-up and what you need to know, here.
Little known secret…
Universal guests, regardless of where you’re visiting from (Local, Off-site or Universal Resort Guest) you have access to leave and/or transfer your packages to a designated area, located just inside the park entrance for a temporary hold. The Universal staff members store your items in a secure and air conditioned location.
In-Park Transfer
If you’re in a location that does not offer package pickup services, don’t worry! You may have your packages transferred to the designated area for your convenience. If you’re buying items and either do not want to carry them around, the theme parks have a solution for you. Simply have your items that would be affected by the heat or are big and bulky transferred for easy pickup. This service is available for any guest of the Universal Orlando Resort, On-site guest, Off-site guest or just a local visitor.
Islands of Adventure location – “Ocean Traders”
Universal Studios location – “It’s a Wrap”
*** Please note – this will take up to 3 hours before your packages are ready for pickup and this service will be available until 3 hours prior to the closing of the theme park you are making your purchase in.
Resort Transfer /Room Delivery
On-site guests have the ability to have their purchases transferred to their hotel and/or hotel room. Your items will reach the final location by 12pm on the following day. If you are nearing the end of your trip, use the “In-park transfer” and pickup your items as you leave the theme parks.
Guests will find that either method of transferring is offered for purchases, free of charge. Just let the staff member know you’d like to do “Package Pickup”. They will gather your name, phone number and room number (If you’re staying at a Universal Orlando Resort).
