Additional Information & Description

Universal Orlando Resort is the destination for this day trip from Downtown Miami, with roundtrip Brightline rail travel and approximately nine hours to explore the parks. The full outing lasts around 17 hours and 30 minutes, so plan for a long day rather than a short excursion. Your park time sits within a much longer schedule that also includes travel to Orlando and back.

The journey from Miami

You travel aboard Brightline, Florida’s high-speed train, with a reserved seat for the journey. Onboard charging ports let you recharge your phone during the ride, and beverages are available. WiFi is included on the train and at Universal Studios, helping you stay connected during the journey and that part of your visit.

The rail journey takes you from Downtown Miami to the Orlando Airport Train Station. It handles the intercity stretch of the trip, but does not take you directly to the resort gates.

Choose your park admission

The admission included depends on the option you select. Check that choice carefully before booking: it determines whether your day covers one park or both.

  • The one-park option includes entry to either Universal Studios Florida or Universal Islands of Adventure.
  • The two-park option includes entry to both Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure, allowing you to move between them during your visit.

At the resort, the focus is on film-inspired attractions, rides and thrills. With roughly nine hours available, your admission choice also shapes how you spend that time: concentrate on a single park, or divide the day between the two.

Getting from the station to the resort

Transport between Brightline Orlando Station and Universal Orlando Resort is not included. Arrange a taxi or ride-share after arriving in Orlando, and account for this separate transfer when planning your day. You will also need to arrange the journey back to the station for your return train to Miami.

Departure and ticket access

The Miami starting point is 600 NW 1st Ave. Arrive 20 minutes in advance, allowing time before departure rather than reaching the station at the scheduled departure time.

Tickets are delivered instantly, and smartphone tickets are accepted. Wheelchair access is available for this trip.
