What to know about Express Passes for Epic Universe
One of the biggest questions we are getting lately is about getting an Express Pass at Universal Orlando Resort’s Epic Universe and adding them to vacation packages.
We love the phased approach Universal Epic Universe is taking to the opening of the new park, but I am excited to announce that we can finally answer this burning question!!

Here is everything you need to know about adding and using the Epic Express Pass to your Universal Orlando Epic vacation:
Is the Universal Epic Universe Express Pass Included in your stay?
No, the Universal Epic Universe Express Pass is a stand-alone product, like the Express Pass at Volcano Bay. This means it is not included with any Universal Hotel, including the premier or Signature resorts like Hard Rock, Portofino, Royal Pacific or Helios at this time and MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. It is our understanding is not in the plans to have this be an added amenity for any of the Universal Orlando hotels.
Is the Universal Epic Express Pass Unlimited?
This initial Epic Express Pass Option is NOT an Unlimited Express Pass, this means your Epic Universe Express Pass is good once per ride, per day purchased.
What rides does the Universal Epic Express Pass include?
Epic Universe Express Passes will initially be available for the following EPIC attractions:
- Constellation Carousel
- Curse of the Werewolf
- Fyre Drill
- Hiccup’s Wing Gliders
- Le Circue Arcanus
- Mario Kart: Bowsers Challenge
- Monster’s Unchained: Frankenstein Experiment
- Stardust Racers
- The Untrainable Dragon
- Yoshis Adventure
Epic Express Passes WILL NOT be offered on the following EPIC attractions:
- Dragon Racer’s Rally
- Mine Cart Madness
- Harry Potter and the Battle of the Ministry
How much are Universal Epic Universe Express Passes?
Pricing for the Universal Epic Universe Express Passes will vary based on the date, and the type selected.
These Express Passes are DATED, which means you do have to select which day you would like to utilize your Express Pass. This is no different from the standalone Express Pass for the other Universal Orlando parks.
On the initial day of release, on average the Express Passes were approximately 250-ish per person per day for the 1 day EPIC Express Pass option. There is a 2 day EPIC specific Pass and a multiday Express Pass available, but no Express Pass for Epic will have Unlimited Express access at this time.
With all pricing at Universal, as a rule of thumb, weekends are a little more, holidays and when kiddos are out of school are higher than typical “in-school” days.
How do I get Universal Epic Universe Express Passes?
Express Passes for Universal Orlando Epic Universe can be purchased either a la carte, or added to a vacation package.
If you utilize a Universal Travel Agent or Universal Travel Agency they can easily add this to your existing vacation package.
