UPDATE June 30 - It is great news for anyone wanting to purchase a Universal Orlando Resort Annual Pass or needs to renew their current Annual Pass as it has just been announced that you can now get 3 free months, so 15 months for the price of 12! 

This offer applies to anyone purchasing a new or renewing any 2-Park or 3-Park Annual or Seasonal Pass. So far, there hasn't been an end date for this offer so if you looking to purchase a new pass there couldn't be a better time to do it. If your renewal date is coming up we expect this offer to last at least until the end of the summer but will confirm this when there is an update.

This news is certainly not pleasing everyone, especially those Universal Annual Passholders who have just renewed their passes or those who have just purchased an Annual or Season Pass. Disgruntled fans are saying online that there should have been some warning to prevent unnecessary upset to those who have narrowly missed out on this offer.

April 23 - We all know that price hikes are inevitable. Universal hiked the prices of their Annual Passes back in June 2022 and now they have announced the new prices for 2023 and although it is good news for the lower tiers, the top two tiers are again seeing another price hike.

These are the current prices as per the official website for those guests wanting to purchase an Annual Pass.

Florida Residents

2-Park Annual Passes

• Seasonal Pass - $324.99
• Power Pass - $379.99
• Preferred Pass - $529.99 (Up from $439.99)
• Premier Pass - $789.99 (Up from $639.99)

• Power Pass - $474.99
• Preferred Pass - $629.99 (Up from $539.99)

Universal Orlando Resort has hiked prices on annual passes for both Florida residents and out-of-state guests on Preferred Pass by $90 and Premier Pass by $150. Seasonal and Power Passes have remained the same.

Those current Universal Orlando Resort Annual Passholders who choose to renew in full could see a 20% reduction.
