Universal Orlando Expands Epic Universe Access

Universal Orlando has added a brand new ticket type for 2026 that allows guests to visit Epic Universe on more than one day. Previously, multi-day ticket types all restricted access to Epic Universe to only one day.

Here are the new ticket types for 2026:

3 Parks, One Park Per Day, 3 Day Ticket – Move Freely to Epic Universe- Enjoy 3 separate days at 3 parks: Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida, and Islands of Adventure.

• Visit One Park Per Day
• Universal Epic Universe
• Universal Studios Florida
• Universal Islands of Adventure
• Starting at $118.33 for adults, $115.00 for children.
• New for 2026 visits

This ticket type allows guests three separate days at the three parks with no park hopping in a single day. If you wanted, you could visit Epic Universe for two of those three days or even all three.

3 Park, 3 Day Ticket – Move Freely to Epic Universe- Enjoy 3 days to move freely between Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida, and Islands of Adventure.

• Move Freely Between
  • Universal Epic Universe
  • Universal Studios Florida
  • Universal Islands of Adventure
• Ride the Hogwarts Express: Travel between Hogsmeade in Universal Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley in Universal Studios Florida.
• Starting at $138.34 for adults, $135.00 for children (ages 3-9).
• New for 2026 visits

This is the same ticket type, but with park hopping added in which allows guests to ride the Hogwarts Express.

4 Park, 3 Day Ticket – Move Freely to Epic Universe- Enjoy 3 days to move freely between Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay.

• Move Freely Between
  • Universal Epic Universe
  • Universal Studios Florida
  • Universal Islands of Adventure
  • Universal Volcano Bay
• Ride the Hogwarts Express: Travel between Hogsmeade in Universal Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley in Universal Studios Florida.
• Starting at $153.34 for adults, $150.00 for children (ages 3-9).
• New for 2026 visits

You can also add Volcano Bay to these ticket types to make them 4 Park tickets.

These “Move Freely to Epic Universe” tickets lift all restrictions on accessing the new theme park, which opened in May 2025. This is good news for guests who want to spend more than one day at Epic Universe, which is a big draw for many visitors. If you want to visit Epic Universe for more than one day in 2025, you need to purchase two separate tickets, which is a far higher cost than these multi-day tickets.

Universal Also Keeps 1 Day Epic Universe Options

Universal Orlando is also keeping the 1-day Epic Universe restriction for some multi-day ticket types.

3 Park, One Park Per Day, 3 Day Ticket- Enjoy 2 days with one park per day access at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, and 1 separate day at Epic Universe.

• 2 Days To Visit One Park Per Day
• Universal Studios Florida
• Universal Islands of Adventure
• 1 Day At Universal Epic Universe: Enjoy 1 separate day at Universal Epic Universe
• Starting at $136.00 for adults, $132.67 for children.

This 3 Park multi-day ticket restricts your access to Epic Universe to just one day.

3 Park, 3 Day Ticket – 1 Day at Epic Universe- Enjoy 2 days to move freely between Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, and 1 separate day at Epic Universe.

• 2 Days To Move Freely Between

• Ride the Hogwarts Express Travel between Hogsmeade™ in Universal Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley in Universal Studios Florida.
• Starting at $156.00 for adults, $152.67 for children.

You can also add a park-hopping option to this ticket type to go back and forth between Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure.

4 Park, 3 Day Ticket – 1 Day at Epic Universe– Enjoy 2 days to move freely between Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure and Volcano Bay, and 1 separate day at Epic Universe.

• 2 Days To Move Freely Between
  • Universal Studios Florida
  • Universal Islands of Adventure

• Ride the Hogwarts Express: Travel between Hogsmeade in Universal Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley in Universal Studios Florida.
• Starting at $167.67 for adults, $164.33 for children (ages 3-9).

There is also a park ticket option to add in Volcano Bay to make it a 4 Park, 3 Day ticket.

Epic Universe Not Added to Annual Passes in 2026

Unfortunately for annual passholders, it doesn't look like Epic Universe is being added to Annual Passes in 2026 quite yet, as Universal Orlando also shared the 2026 single-day passholder ticket information.

Passholder 1 Day Universal Epic Universe Ticket- Passholders can purchase a 1 Day Universal Epic Universe Ticket add-on to visit Epic Universe.

• Visit One Park
• Enjoy 1-day at Universal Epic Universe
• Starting at $127.00 for adults, $122.00 for children.

This could still change at some point, but as of now, there is no indication that Epic Universe will be added to annual passes for next year.
