Overview
- Universal announced the Passholder Appreciation Days package on Tuesday and set the promotion to run from August 15 through September 30, 2026.
- The resort is advertising headline savings including 30% off select Universal Express Passes (must be bought at front-gate windows), up to 40% off select Sunday–Thursday hotel stays, extended UOAP Lounge hours, and limited-time food and merchandise offers.
- The program begins with two after‑hours Passholder Nights at Universal Studios Florida on August 15 and 16, and both nights are already fully booked.
- Universal’s standard annual and seasonal passes still do not include recurring admission to Epic Universe; passholders may only purchase dated, discounted add-on tickets for that park.
- Coverage and analysts say the six-week window will likely raise crowd levels and overnight bookings, but many discounts carry conditions or availability limits that mean savings depend on extra spending and timing.
