Universal Orlando has some pretty cool perks for its Passholders.

In addition to exclusive discounts around the parks, did you know they celebrate Passholder Appreciation Days? From August 15th through September 30th, 2023, Universal goes all out for its Passholders. Universal has already shared a preview of some of what’s to come, but now we got a new look at what to expect this year.
We previously got word that the exclusive Passholder entrance to Universal’s Islands of Adventure would return during these Appreciation Days. We also got a sneak peek at some of the perks Universal is bringing its Passholders this year, and they might make you want to get an Annual Pass if you haven’t already!
Exclusive Eats
There will also be some exclusive eats available to Passholders during the Passholder Appreciation Days. We got a first look at some of these items: First up, The Maloney Stack for $19.95 at Finnegan’s Bar & Grill is a half-pound all beef burger, braised short rib, beer battered onion rings, and ale cheese sauce, served with wedge fries.

The Wagyu Beef Sliders at Confisco Grille are Waygu beef sliders on brioche buns with bourbon bacon jam, cheddar cheese, arugula, and garlic aioli, served with truffle Fries for $18.95.

Whakawaiwai Eats will have the Island Chicken Pancit Bowl, made with sautéed vegetables, noodles, grilled chicken tossed in a sweet and tangy island sauce for $17.49.

Pasholders can get the Guava Cheese Doughnut at Voodoo Doughnut, made with a raised yeast shell filled with cream cheese and guava filling, dipped in yellow honey icing for $3.95.

Lombard’s Seafood Grille will have the Lobster Mac & Cheese made with sea shell Pasta, parmesan cheese sauce, Maine lobster, and herb topping for $24.

Zucchini Fritters will be on the menu for Passholders at Mythos Restaurant. These are Cretan herbed zucchini fritters, served with a cucumber tomato salad and tzatziki sauce for $12.

However, there are even MORE perks coming for Universal Orlando Annual Passholders.

Universal Orlando Passholder Night
Universal Orlando Passholder Night is on August 26th. Registration for the event began on July 24th but quickly sold out. This event gives Annual and Seasonal Passholders a chance to visit Islands of Adventure from 7PM to 11PM, basically giving Passholders full access to the park during an after-hours experience.

If you don’t already have a pass — good news! Universal is running a promotion so you can get three months free with the purchase of a new Annual Pass!
