Universal Orlando has just made a big announcement that eligible military service members may be very excited about — how you can save money on tickets in 2026!

In a recent announcement, Universal Orlando has announced that there will be a special Military Freedom Pass on sale for 2026, as well as specially priced vacation packages and 1-day tickets to Epic Universe. If you, or someone in your family, is an eligible service member, here are all the new deals announced for 2026!
Eligible service members and their families can now purchase the exclusive 2026 Military Freedom Pass, which has options for a 2-Park and 3-Park Pass (includes admission to Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, and Universal Volcano Bay). The ticket is active from November 13th, 2025, through December 18th, 2026, with limited blockout dates. Additionally, specially priced Universal Epic Universe 1-Day tickets are also available for purchase for those who have activated a 2026 Military Freedom Pass.

The 2-Park 2026 Military Freedom Pass is available for $220 with blockout dates from December 25th, 2025, through January 4th, 2026, and March 30th, 2026, through April 6th, 2026. The 3-Park 2026 Military Freedom Pass is only $35 more for a total of $255, and has the same blockout dates listed above, as well as October 26th, 2026 – December 18th, 2026 for Volcano Bay. To purchase either of these special passes, you must visit a participating sales outlet on Military Base installations throughout the United States.
