Universal Orlando is a destination for many visiting Florida!

Not only are there two immersive theme parks with lands like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but the new Epic Universe theme park is currently under construction. But right now Universal is making changes to its two main parks and getting inside just got easier!
Back in October, we noticed that Islands of Adventure started using photo validation instead of fingerprints when entering the parks. The photo validation was being tested at the time.

On a recent visit to Universal Studios, we noticed that the photo validation was also available at the entrance to this park!

According to the sign, this is “a new, faster way to access select experiences throughout Universal Orlando Resort.” The photo validation process is completely optional, so if you do not want to use it, you can ask a Team Member where to scan in.

In our experience, this does speed up the process of getting inside the park. Stay tuned to AllEars for more Universal updates!
