Orlando is gearing up for a massive theme park expansion. Universal Orlando Resort has announced its new park, Universal Epic Universe. Set to open on May 22, this major addition to the Universal family offers a slew of ticket options and vacation packages for eager Florida residents and military personnel, according to a recent release by WESH.
The tickets, which have Floridians buzzing, include three-day options that provide access to Epic Universe and Universal Studios Florida or Universal Islands of Adventure. Plus, vacation packages that can save you some coin—all tailored for the locals. Combining hotel stays with early park admissions and other perks, such as breakfast at wizard-themed eateries and ice cream flights, Universal is conjuring up some magic for their home crowd, as FOX 35 Orlando detailed.
Active duty and retired U.S. military members haven't been overlooked. Those with an active 2025 Military Freedom Pass can snag a 1-park, 1-day ticket to add to their epic adventure. While there's a limit of six tickets per qualifying buyer, it's a nod of appreciation to those who have served. The pricing and availability, however, will fluctuate based on demand, so it better grab 'em while they're hot.
Patience is key for the general public craving a singular day at Epic Universe. Universal revealed that single-day tickets are set to be released shortly—so keep refreshing. Epic Universe claims a spot nearly 8 miles from Universal's existing Orlando parks. It is poised to be the next hot destination with its five themed portals, including Super Nintendo World and a Ministry of Magic, out of Harry Potter's wizarding world.
