You’re ready for some thrills, some chills, some amazing shows, and some movie magic! You’re going to Universal!

When heading to theme parks in Orlando, it’s a good idea to know all of the rules. From unspoken rules to community guidelines, it never hurts to be in the know about what is and isn’t allowed. That’s why we think it’s the perfect time to talk about is Universal accepts Apple Pay.
You’ve planned your whole trip out. You know what days you want to visit which parks, which snacks you have to snag, and even read through the Universal bag policy so you know exactly what theme park luggage you need to have. Now, the ultimate question: how to pay for it all.

No, we’re not talking about where you’re gonna get the money from — that’s come from a proper savings plan, right? Ok, maybe it’s also coming from a handy-dandy credit card, and you’ll worry about the balance and monthly payments later. Maybe you’re even doubling down and using the recently released Universal VISA Card with exclusive Universal rewards and perks!

But those of you with iPhones or Apple Watches who want to make your money-spending adventure more of a “hands-off” situation and use Apple Pay may be curious if that’s an option at this thrill-seeking theme park.

Well, good news! Universal Studios, the land of magic, muggles, and minions, does indeed accept Apple Pay! Whether you’re grabbing a Butterbeer in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter or snagging a Minion-themed souvenir, you can use your handy-dandy Apple device to pay for stuff. This digital wizardry makes it super convenient, so you don’t have to juggle cash or cards while riding roller coasters or posing with your favorite characters. Just make sure your phone or watch is charged up, and you’re good to go!

So, go forth and conquer those attractions with the ease of a swipe. Enjoy the adventure! Remember to keep following AllEars for all of your Universal tips and tricks.
