Best place to book Universal Orlando package?

Other than booking directly with Universal, who else books Universal packages?

I book only the hotel directly from the Loews hotel site and get my tickets from UnderCover tourist for the best prices.

This is typically the best option, but if the OP is determined to purchase a package, then they should look at AAA (if they're a member) or the online travel retailers (Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline, etc).

Also, by booking seperately, as mischief32 suggests, if the hotel was booked through Universal's hotel reservation system, there's usually no cancellation fee if cancelled a several days before the trip. With packages, there's usually a cancellation fee.

I've booked all out Disney, and now Universal, Resort stays trough Southwest Airlines and have always come out ahead of separate bookings.

Of course, this assumes you want flights too.

Just booked our first Universal Resort stay at the Royal Pacific and saved a few hundred over the cost of booking directly with the Resort and adding airfare (even after including cancellation insurance).

This is what I do as well. It's not like at Disney where the package deal is cheaper.

I do this as well unless I am getting an AP for discounted rates on the hotel.

Thank you for all your responses. Believe it or not, the cheapest package I found was on cheaptickets.com. I got air, hotel, UO and Seaworld tickets and car rental for a great price. Thank you all.
