The two day three park ticket to Universal was perfect for us as we only had a couple of days to fill. The hopper between Studios and IOA was great. It was relatively quiet in the parks, walked on to most rides with no wait. We did so much! Epic was another story...park was very busy, rides not working or delayed, 3/4 hour waits for the main rides so didn't bother. We did have a good day. It was just disappointing that we didn't do everything.

Epic Universe was so amazing! My kids' dream came true! Delicious snacks. We had a red shell! We ate at Toadstool's Cafe and food was good but not really good! Crew was super nice and polite! Lines for the rides too long! Express pass too expensive.

Frequently asked questions about Universal Studios Orlando skip-the-line Express Pass tickets

Does the Express Pass replace my park admission ticket?

No. The Express Pass is not a park entry ticket. You must purchase valid park admission separately to use Express Pass access at Universal Studios Florida and/or Islands of Adventure.

What’s the difference between “One Time per Ride” and “Unlimited” Express Pass?

One Time per Ride lets you skip the regular line once per participating attraction. Unlimited lets you use the Express queue as many times as you want on participating rides throughout the day. Unlimited is best if you plan to repeat popular rides like Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey or The Incredible Hulk Coaster.

Which rides do NOT accept Express Pass?

Express Pass is valid on most major attractions, but a few rides are excluded, including Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, Pteranodon Flyers, and some seasonal or special experiences. Ride participation can change, so it’s best to check the official park signage on the day of your visit.

How much time does the Express Pass actually save?

On busy days, Express Pass can reduce waits from 60–120 minutes down to 10–30 minutes. However, Express queues are not instant entry—during peak holidays or summer afternoons, short waits may still occur.

Is Express Pass worth it on quieter days?

If you’re visiting on weekdays outside school holidays (late January, early May, early September), you may not need Express Pass. It’s most valuable during spring break, summer vacation, Thanksgiving week, Christmas & New Year period, and on long weekends.

Can I share an Express Pass with someone else?

No. Express Passes are non-transferable and tied to the guest using them. Team Members may check to ensure passes are used by the correct guest.

Can I use one Express Pass across parks in one day?

Yes, but only if you have valid admission to those parks. The Express Pass itself does not restrict park hopping, but your entry ticket does.

Do Express Pass holders skip the locker lines too?

No. For rides requiring lockers, all guests use the same locker system, including Express Pass holders. The Express Pass only applies to the ride queue itself.

Is Express Pass included with Universal hotel stays?

Guests staying at Premier Hotels (Loews Royal Pacific, Hard Rock Hotel, or Portofino Bay Hotel) receive Unlimited Express Passes for each night of stay, valid on check-in and check-out days. Guests at Value or Prime Value hotels do not get Express Pass included.

Can I buy my Express Pass on the same day?

Yes, but same-day prices are higher and availability can sell out on busy days. Buying in advance is recommended if you’re visiting during peak season.

Does Express Pass work during Early Park Admission?

Yes, but only for rides that are open during Early Park Admission and accept Express Pass. Not all rides are operating during this early window.

Are Express Passes refundable or changeable?

Generally, Express Passes are non-refundable and non-transferable. Date changes may not be allowed, so double-check your travel dates before purchasing.

Is the Express Pass useful for families with kids?

Yes, especially if your group includes teenagers or thrill-ride fans. However, for families with younger children focused on character meets or shows, Express Pass may offer limited value.

Can I use my Express Pass on shows and character meet-and-greets?

Express Pass access is primarily for rides. Some shows may offer priority seating, but character meet-and-greets typically do not accept Express Pass.
