Heads up, Universal Annual Passholders! You’ll want to hear this.

Universal Orlando

2025 is arguably shaping up to be one of the most important years in the history of the Universal Orlando Resort, thanks to the grand opening of Epic Universe this May. The highly-anticipated new park seems poised to change not only the industry as a whole but also the fundamentals of what a Universal trip entails for many visitors. That’s still almost six months away, though. In the meantime, Universal Orlando is kicking off the year with some NEW rewards for its Annual Passholders.

Universal Orlando AP Bonus Benefits are returning from January 6th through the 31st! These are a fun way for Passholders to “keep the celebration going after the holiday,” according to Universal.
