ORLANDO, FLORIDA (ThrillNetwork.com) -- Imagine being given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help Spider-Man save New York City – for free. Or imagine being caught up in an all-new Shrek adventure complete with Princess Fiona, Donkey and Lord Farquaad – for free. And without waiting in line.

Now any guest staying at a Universal Orlando on-site hotel can get free “Stay and Play” passes good for seven days of theme park admission to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure – including the chance to experience some of the most thrilling, most sophisticated theme park rides in the world – as part of Universal’s new “Stay and Play” travel package.

Starting at $114 per-adult, per-night, the travel package features four nights at a Universal Orlando on-site hotel. Included in that price at no extra cost are the “Stay and Play” passes, which provide seven consecutive days of unlimited admission to both of Universal’s theme parks. Each package also comes with a feature unique to Universal Orlando vacations: front-of-the-line, preferred access to theme park rides and shows.

That means endless rides on mega-attractions such as the Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man and Incredible Hulk roller coaster at Islands of Adventure – or the new Shrek 4-D attraction and the Men In Black Alien Attack attraction at Universal Studios.

The package also comes with one-day’s admission to Wet ‘n Wild or a lunch or dinner at select Universal Orlando restaurants – plus CityWalk Party Passes for each adult.

Travelers can also enjoy a wide range of on-site accommodations at Universal Orlando – all of which are just a quick stroll or water-taxi ride away from the theme parks. Hotels include the luxurious Portofino Bay Hotel, a Loews Hotel, the rock music-themed Hard Rock Hotel and the exotic Royal Pacific Resort.

Guests can book Universal Orlando’s Stay and Play package from Monday, Oct. 13, 2003 through Friday, Jan. 2, 2004 for travel from Friday, January 2, 2004 through Saturday, June 19, 2004. There is a limit of two Stay and Play tickets per booking.
