Universal Express Pass Attractions
Written By Dannielle Puckett, Travel Advisor | Disney Specialist
When you add Universal Express access to your theme park admission, you get to skip the regular lines at most of your favorite rides and attractions. So you can fit way more fun into your day. Separate theme park admission required.
There are multiple types of Express Passes. You can purchase a 1 park or 2 park Express Pass, and you can choose the basic Express Pass that allows you to use each attraction's Express Pass once, or the Unlimited version that allows you to skip the regular lines as many times as you want. The best part is that you don't need to make a reservation for the Express Lane, like some theme parks. You just go hop in the Express Line when you are ready!
Most attractions have an express lane, but not all of them. It's important to reference the list and make sure that you feel you will get your money's worth out of the pass. For most guests, the answer is yes. It's just a matter of whether or not they can afford the pass.
PRO TIP: Stay at a Universal Premier hotel and each person in your room will get the Unlimited Express Pass for FREE! Ask me how!
Pricing is not included on this post because the price varies based upon the day of your visit. The price also varies based upon demand. If sales are high, they may increase the price so don't delay in making your purchase. I've seen the cost DOUBLE over night! Sometimes guests end up paying more for the Express Pass than they paid for their ticket. The sooner you purchase your ticket, the better. (Same for accommodations.) Reach out to me today, and I will get the ball rolling fast!
