If you live near Universal Studios, or in the Los
Angeles area, you should consider purchasing
annual passes for Universal Studios Tours. Annual
passes are reasonably priced, and will most likely
save you money on admission throughout the year.
Several different levels of annual passes are available.

A regular annual pass for Universal Studios costs
$65. With this pass, you will be granted twelve full
months of admission to the park, 15% savings on
general admission for up to six of your guests, 10%
off of all merchandise, and 10% off the price of all
food and beverages purchased inside the park.

You will also be given exclusive offers and invitations
to special events that are held throughout the year.
Some black-out dates do apply to regular annual
pass holders. You can upgrade to a deluxe annual
pass for $75. This pass will entitle you to all of the
things that a regular pass does, with one exception.
No black-out dates will apply to you.

The best value is the premium annual pass, which
costs $99. This pass will entitle you to twelve months
of admission to the park, invitations to special events
held throughout the year, exclusive offers, and 15%
savings on general admission prices for six of your
guests, 10% off the price of merchandise, 10% off
the price of food and beverages purchased inside
the park, and no black-out dates. Additionally,
you will be entitled to free parking during box office
hours, and front of the line access at Studio Tour.

If you plan to visit Universal Studios twice in one
year, an annual pass is the most logical choice.
General admission for Universal Studios Tours for
just one day costs $55. If you visit twice in one
year that is a total of $110! You can get a premium
annual pass for just $99! What this essentially
means is that if you purchase an annual pass, you
are really only paying for two days at the park, and
any additional days are the park are actually free!

As an annual pass ticket holder, you may not be
entitled to other admission discounts that are
available. However, you may be entitled to special
discounts on the annual pass in certain situations.
For instance, if you are a member of the Military,
you may be eligible for special prices on annual
passes. Contact Universal Studios Tours for more

Security at Universal Studios Tours

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:11:02 +0000

If you are concerned about your safety while visiting
Universal Studios, you should not be. There are
security officers on the grounds, and security offices
are located in the upper lot by Nick Stuff and in the
lower lot inside the Jurassic Park Visitors Center.

After the 9/11 terrorists attacks, Universal Studios
put a heightened security program in place. Today,
security precautions are constantly taken for the
safety of all visitors and guests. The park stays
up-to-date on all security briefings that are issued
by local and federal law enforcement agencies,
and always takes appropriate measures to ensure
everyone?s safety and well-being.

To date, there have been no major security issues at
Universal Studios. The park has never been
threatened by terrorists or nationals. In the event that
the park is threatened, again, measures are in place
to ensure the safety of everyone. With this in mind,
enjoy yourself and all that Universal Studios Tours
has to offer ? leave the worrying to the people who
are already equipped and prepared to deal with such
an emergency, should it ever arise.

Universal Studios Tours Hotels

Vacation Spots — Sun, 25 May 2008 19:51:24 +0000

When planning your Universal Studios Tours
vacation, you may wish to stay at a hotel that is
within walking distance of the park. There are only
two hotels within walking distance, and they are
both world-class hotels that are highly
recommended.

The Universal Sheraton Hotel is located at 333
Universal Hollywood Drive. The hotel has served
visitors to Universal Studios since 1969, and it is
known as the Hotel of the Stars. The hotel literally
sits on the back lot of the studio.

Featuring 436 guest rooms and suites, the hotel
often has many famous guests. There is no telling
who you might run into! Although it is in walking
distance of Universal Studios, the hotel staff believe
that everyone should be treated like a star, and
therefore, complimentary tram rides to the park are
offered.

The guest rooms feature high speed Internet
access, air conditioning, an alarm clock, cable
television, and a coffee maker. Hotel services
include a valet service, a business center and
business services, a car rental service, a concierge
service, and room service. There are 21 meeting
rooms on the property, as well as a lobby lounge
and the Baja Beach Club Poolside Lounge.

The Hotel of the Stars is the most popular hotel to
stay at, but if there are no rooms available, you
should consider the Universal City Hilton Hotel. The
Universal City Hilton is located at 555 Universal
Hollywood Drive. The Hilton offers guests fine dining
in several on site restaurants, and has several
lounges on the property as well. The hotel features
a health and fitness center, a business center, and
deluxe room accommodations. Each guest room
at the Universal City Hilton features a view of the
Hollywood Hills, including the San Fernando Valley
and Universal Studios.

These two hotels are highly recommended by
Universal Studios due to their close proximity and
the high level of quality guest amenities and service.
Because of their popularity, you should book your
trip well in advance, and make sure that you make
any special requests for additional amenities or
services at the time that you make your reservation.

Other hotels are available within driving distance of
Universal Studios Tours, but if possible, you should
plan to stay at one of these fine hotels. Again, the
proximity to the park and level of quality service
cannot be topped. You may also be able to get a
special rate on Universal Studios tickets at the
Concierge?s desk of either hotel.
