They indicated that they have an extreme weather policy, meaning that either the National Hurricane Center issues a hurricane or tropical storm warning or declares a state of emergency within a week of arriving in Orlando.

In that case, guests can contact the Universal Orlando team and cancel their tickets and hotel rooms booked directly with Universal Orlando without any cancellation or change fees.
