Question

If I book a room at Hard Rock universal I see that it comes with express passes. If we are just doing the one day two park ticket universal Studios and Island of adventure does the express pass work for both parks in the same day (we have purchased the 2 park 1 day ticket already

Answer

Yes, booking a room at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando comes with complimentary Universal Express Unlimited passes for each registered guest staying in the room. This perk allows you to skip the regular lines at most rides and attractions across both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.

Here’s how it works for a 2-park, 1-day ticket:

The Universal Express Unlimited pass is valid for both parks on the same day. You can use it at attractions in Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure without needing a separate pass for each park.
Since you have a 2-park 1-day ticket, you can hop between parks throughout the day. The Express pass benefit applies at all participating attractions in both parks, so you can maximize your day and avoid the standard lines.
Note that some attractions, like the Hogwarts Express, may have specific policies for Express use, but most rides and shows in both parks are included.

Tips for using Express passes effectively:

Arrive early and start at one park, then switch to the other as needed. Express passes do not replace park admission; you still need your ticket to enter each park.
Use the official Universal Orlando app to track wait times and plan your route. Even with Express, popular rides can get long mid-day.
Express benefits are per person, per ride, unlimited. You can ride multiple times in the same day without restrictions, which is perfect for 2-park touring.

In short, yes—the Express pass from the Hard Rock Hotel works across both parks on your 2-park, 1-day ticket, making it a very convenient option for maximizing rides and attractions.
