Please note that if you are staying on-site, you get Early Park Admission and unlimited Express Pass access no matter how you book your hotel room.

(Universal says that bags must be no larger than 8.5 wide x 6 high x 6 deep.) You just cannot bring any bags with hard sides or wheels, like a cooler.

This is a particularly good idea if you plan on going on water rides, or if you are visiting during a time of the year when the temperature changes hotels in cannon beach oregon considerably from day to night.

After the bag is in the locker, we head over to Islands of Adventure and play for the day. In the evening, when we come back over to Universal Studios for the concert, our jackets are waiting for us in the locker. hotels in cannon beach oregon This is a great way to avoid spending $40 per person on Universal sweatshirts.
There are lockers hotels in cannon beach oregon at the front of Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure (both inside hotels in cannon beach oregon and outside of each park entrance).
