Universal Parks and Resorts is due to open two budget hotels in Orlando with rooms from £55 a night.
The 750-room Surfside Inn and Suites is due to open next August and a second 2,050-room hotel, Docklands Inn and Suites, will open in 2010.
Together they will form a complex called Endless Summer Resort and wil be on the 64-acre site where the Wet n’ Wild water park used to be, a mile south of the theme parks.
Dave Cole, Universal Park and Resorts senior sales manager EMEA, said the hotels would have two-bedroom family suites rooms for larger families.
He said guests will get the usual early-admission privileges to Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay and free bus transportation around the resort.
Speaking to agents at this week’s Global Travel Group conference, Cole also confirmed plans for a new Harry Potter themed attraction, but did not disclose further details.
