Universal Orlando is home to SO many great things — BIG attractions, Wizarding Worlds, iconic snacks, immersive theming, and, my favorite, Halloween Horror Nights!
But what it’s also home to is several great perks, especially for Passholders! And it just got even better because Universal Passholder Appreciation Days start TOMORROW, August 15th! Here’s everything you need to know and why you should be running to Universal Orlando for the next month!
Passholder Appreciation Days run from August 15th to September 30th and are meant to celebrate all of Universal Orlando’s Passholders with special merchandise, exclusive discounts, lounges, and more! Let’s dive into all of the special perks Passholders will experience during the next month and a half.
On August 15th and 16th, Coca-Cola presents Passholder Nights! This event is a FREE after-hours party and gives Passholders access to select attractions and entertainment at Universal Studios Florida, including character meet-and-greets, a DJ dance party, and a special agent giveaway. This event is already fully booked, but don’t worry, there are still PLENTY of other things for Passholders to enjoy!
Let’s talk about discounts! Passholders can get a $15 merchandise credit when they spend $100 or more at select Universal Orlando merchandise locations. They will also be among the first to shop the new Illuminated Globe Merchandise Collection in the UOAP Lounge in Toon Lagoon and The Tonight Shop. Speaking of Toon Lagoon and The Tonight Shop, extended hours will be available for this area of the park during Passholder Appreciation Days — park opening to park close!
More savings equals more fun! Passholders will also get discounts on Universal Express Passes, mobile food and drink orders, merchandise, Universal Volcano Bay cabanas, and premium seating!
Rounding out the discounts, Passholders will also be able to save $40 on 1-Day Park-to-Park Tickets, up to 40% off select hotels, and a 35% discount on My Universal Photos Annual Pass Photo Package when purchased in the park!
And it’s never a Universal park day without themed food — Passholders will be able to enjoy limited-time offerings at select locations! The locations and items are as follows:
Universal Studios Florida:
- Prosciutto & Arugula Pizza at Louie’s Italian Restaurant and The Tipsy Watermelon at Chez Alcatraz
Universal Islands of Adventure:
- 3 Cheese Bavarian Pretzel at Pizza Predattoria
Universal Volcano Bay:
