Universal Orlando has reintroduced one of its most enticing deals for Florida residents: a $199 pass, plus tax, offering unlimited visits to two of its theme parks until December 16, 2026, as reported by FOX 35 Orlando.
This special offer, known as the "2-Park Unlimited Days Park-to-Park" ticket, grants limitless access to Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure throughout the designated period. The pass is exclusively available for purchase through Universal Orlando's official website.
One of the standout perks of this pass is the ability to enter and exit both parks on the same day, enabling visitors to enjoy attractions in both locations and even ride the Hogwarts Express, the train connecting Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade, the two sections of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
Pass holders will also have the opportunity to partake in the resort's holiday season, beginning November 14, which features events like Grinchmas and Christmas in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, extending until January 3, 2027.
Exclusions from the Pass
However, the promotion comes with some notable exclusions. The ticket does not include access to Epic Universe, Universal Orlando's fourth theme park, nor does it cover Volcano Bay, the resort's water park.
Additionally, the pass does not provide parking or access to separately ticketed events, such as Halloween Horror Nights, which is scheduled for selected nights from August 28 to November 1 this year.
To purchase the pass, proof of Florida residency is required both at the time of purchase and when picking up and activating the ticket. The pass is not available for purchase at the resort's ticket booths and can only be bought online.
Epic Universe and Volcano Bay Not Included
The exclusion of Epic Universe is a significant detail of this pass edition. Opened on May 22, 2025, Epic Universe was the first major theme park opening in Orlando in 25 years, featuring five themed areas inspired by franchises such as Super Nintendo, Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic, and How to Train Your Dragon.
Residents wishing to visit Epic Universe will need to buy a separate ticket.
Regarding Volcano Bay, its exclusion aligns with its scheduled annual maintenance closure starting October 26, 2026. The water park will remain closed until approximately April 1, 2027, covering the final months of the promotion's validity.
A Previously Successful Offer
This isn't the first time Universal Orlando has launched such a promotion. In July 2024, a similar pass was offered at the same price, providing unlimited access to two parks until December of that year. That edition also included discounts of up to 40% on resort hotels, a benefit not included in the current offer.
Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure rank among the most visited theme parks globally. According to international attendance data from 2022, they attracted approximately 10.8 and 11 million visitors, respectively.
