The Universal Studios Orlando Express Pass lets you skip the regular lines at most attractions across Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Epic Universe, and Volcano Bay. Instead of waiting in long queues, you’ll enter a separate, much shorter line, saving you time and letting you experience more in a single day.
Depending on the type of Express Pass, you can use it once per ride or enjoy unlimited access to your favorite attractions throughout the day.
On average, wait times at Universal Studios Orlando can range from 30 to 90 mins depending on the ride and time of year:
Let’s break down the three most popular ticket types and who each one is best suited for.
Here’s where you can use your Express Pass across the Universal Orlando Resort:
Currently, you can’t use Express access on a few rides like Pteranodon Flyers™. Every other major is included.
Only if you buy the specific Halloween Horror Nights Express Pass. The regular Express Passes aren’t valid for that event since it’s ticketed separately.
You bet! You can book the Universal Studios Orlando 1-Day Tickets + Express Pass (One Time per Ride), or the Universal Studios Orlando Tickets + 1-Day Express Pass (Unlimited Rides).
Booking admission tickets and Express Pass bundles is often cheaper than buying separately, especially when secured in advance.
No reservations are needed. Just walk up to any participating attraction, show your pass, and hop in the Express line.
No, Express Passes are non-transferable and tied to the name or ticket of a single guest.
No there isn’t. Children who require their own theme park ticket (typically ages 3 and up) also need their own Express Pass.
No, Express Pass isn’t valid during Early Park Admission. You'll need to wait until the park officially opens to use it.
There will be clear signs at ride entrances and separate queues for Express Pass holders.
