Can you combine Universal and Disney tickets?

Our Universal Studios Hollywood tickets include standard, express pass tickets, and Universal Studios VIP tickets. You can also combine these savings into a Disneyland and Universal Hollywood combo ticket deal.



In 2026, there is no official "combination ticket" sold directly by Disney or Universal that merges their admission into a single pass, as they are fierce corporate competitors. However, you can effectively "combine" them by purchasing a "Orlando Combo Pass" through authorized third-party travel agencies or UK-based vendors like AttractionTickets.com. These bundles often package a "Disney Magic Ticket" (usually 7 or 14 days) with a "Universal 3-Park Explorer Ticket." While you still receive two separate digital entitlements to scan at the respective gates, buying them as a bundle often provides significant cost savings compared to purchasing them individually. For 2026 travelers, it is vital to remember that even with a "combined" bundle, you must still manage two separate apps—My Disney Experience and the Universal Orlando App—to handle virtual queues, Lightning Lanes, and mobile ordering, as their digital infrastructures remain entirely independent.
