For that very special day at Universal Studios Orlando, you could consider a guided Universal Studios VIP tour also known as a VIP experience. This is available either as part of a general group or your very own personalised tour, but it comes at a price, especially the exclusive tour.
With the normal tour tickets you pay per person and the tour groups are limited to 12 guests. If there are more than 6 people in your individual group then you need to book an Exclusive VIP tour.
