Universal just EXTENDED annual passholder preview dates for Epic Universe!

Since early previews debuted for Universal’s new Epic Universe park, fans have been flocking to purchase tickets to see the park before its official opening on May 22nd. Now that we’ve had a chance to look inside and try out the restaurants you find around the park, we’ve wanted even MORE time to experience it all. Now, Universal seems to be granting that wish for those who are eligible!
If the previous dates for Epic Universe previews just didn’t work out for you, OR you’re like us and just want to keep visiting the park before it opens, Universal’s just opened up more days to do just that!

Universal quietly opened more availability to its annual passholders to purchase advance tickets to visit Epic Universe through May 19th. When Universal annual passholders were initially given dates to experience the park before regular day ticket visitors were able to, Universal’s original cutoff date for these previews was May 8th. That’s right — now there are 11 MORE days to visit Epic Universe before it opens!

Several dates had already sold out, so this provides more passholders with an opportunity to visit early. We’ve been able to step inside its portals several times since these previews first opened to annual passholders and, most recently, included visitors purchasing tickets that are staying at a Universal Orlando hotel.

Checking the prices of these additional dates, it seems to have fallen in line with similar pricing to what we’ve already seen for these tickets. Most of the new dates are priced around $123 per person per day, with the newly added Saturdays as the highest at $131. Most of the park’s operating hours are listed for May 9th through the 14th from 10 AM-9 PM, with May 15th through the 19th from 9 AM- 8 PM.

If you’re looking to get in on the fun early (or just want to grab another day inside Epic Universe early) AND you’re currently an active Universal Orlando annual passholder, preview tickets can be purchased in the Universal Orlando app or on the website.

You’ll need to make sure your annual passholder card number is linked inside the wallet of your app, and if you’re planning to purchase tickets for multiple passholders on the same transaction to attend on the same day, they’ll also need to be linked in the wallet of the person buying the tickets. Preview tickets are limited to 1 per passholder per preview date so this means you CAN purchase multiple dates if you wish.
Don’t go away! We’ll be bringing you along with us as we visit Universal’s Epic Universe on its opening day (and before). Be sure to stay tuned with us at DFB for all the latest.
