The hustle and bustle of Orlando can be overwhelming, especially when trying to budget for a trip. The city’s newest gate, Universal Epic Universe, has been notoriously tricky to access. In the past, a day pass to the park, which could cost as much as $199, only allowed entry to Epic Universe without the option to visit other parks on the same day. However, recent changes have made experiencing all of Universal’s attractions much more convenient.
Universal has now introduced a weeklong ticket that bridges the gap between their legacy parks and the new Epic Universe. This ticket offers U.S. residents six or seven days of “park-to-park” access to all four parks: Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, Universal Volcano Bay, and Epic Universe. The best part? For a limited time, these extended passes are available for the price of a standard five-day ticket, essentially giving families two extra days of access at no additional cost.
This new offer not only provides more time to explore all that Universal has to offer, but it also allows guests to fully enjoy the resort amenities without feeling like they’re wasting a park ticket. Whether guests want to start their day at Epic Universe and end with a relaxing afternoon by the pool or explore CityWalk late into the night, these extended passes give them the freedom to create their perfect vacation on their own terms.
To sweeten the deal, guests staying five nights or longer at select Universal Orlando hotels can also receive a $300 dining credit when purchasing the new weeklong ticket. This offer is valid at hotels like Universal Cabana Bay Beach Resort, Universal Aventura Hotel, Universal Stella Nova Resort, and Universal Terra Luna Resort.
Not to be outdone, Walt Disney World in Lake Buena Vista is also offering a similar promotion to make weeklong vacations more accessible to families. With both Universal and Disney vying to provide the most value to guests, this summer is shaping up to be a rare season where guests can enjoy extra days at the theme parks without breaking the bank.
For Universal fans who found the previous park restrictions too limiting, this update finally integrates Epic Universe seamlessly into the Universal experience. This shift not only provides more flexibility for guests but also makes a week in the parks more affordable than ever before.
