Yes, you have read the headline correctly. There has been a rumor online that Universal Orlando Resort may be considering implementing a park reservation system. Annual Passholders have been sent a survey to complete to gauge views on this potential big change.

With COVID-19 measures reducing as we look to a world where we "live with COVID" this seems like a strange time to be considering adding a park reservation system at Universal Orlando Resort. Not having a park reservation system has been a huge positive for Universal Orlando Resort since reopening and has pulled many guests towards the resort. 

The Park Reservation System at Walt Disney World has had continual criticism from guests with majority hoping that the system would be scrapped as COVID-19 capacity caps lessened. We now know that it will remain in place until at least 2024. The reason for this is that it allows Disney to manage capacity and with it staffing levels and plan entertainment schedules more effectively. 

We are guessing Annual Passholder feedback to the survey will be overwhelmingly negative so it seems unlikely that Universal Orlando Resort will go with this idea if their input is anything to go by. However, in the case of Disney, the company has decided to keep the system in place regardless of guest opinion.

Universal Orlando Resort has not officially announced that a park reservation system is being considered, this is currently a rumor based on the survey sent out to Annual Passholders.

We would like to get your opinion. So, do you think Universal Orlando Resort should implement a park reservation system? The options are simple:

• Yes
• No
