2026 Universal Orlando Tickets
Universal Orlando Resort has three major theme parks (Epic Universe, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventures) and one waterpark (Volcano Bay).
We offer both generic date-specific tickets, the eligibility-limited 2026 Military Freedom Pass, and seasonally Halloween Horror Nights tickets.
Base or Park-to-Park Tickets (Date Specific)
*Giftable*
Date Specific: Universal tickets (non-Freedom Pass) are date specific. You must pick the first day as part of the ticket creation process. Universal recommends visiting Epic Universe earlier in your trip because of potential capacity issues.
Limited Time to Use: Multi-day tickets must be used within a calendar day period which includes the day the ticket is first dated for. 2–5 Day tickets are valid for the ticket length plus 2 extra days. 2-Day Tickets = four-day usage window, 3-Day Tickets = five-day usage window, 4-Day Tickets = six-day window, and 5-Day Tickets = seven-day window.
"Base" Tickets: Base tickets allow access to 1 park per day, either Universal Studios or Islands of Adventures or Epic Universe.
"Park to Park" Tickets: "Park-to-Park" (PTP) tickets allow you to freely travel between multiple parks per day. *PTP tickets are required to ride the Hogwarts Express Train.* (as it travels between Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure)

No Blockout dates: Tickets are the same price for any day, but the tickets are date specific and you must pick the date to create a ticket. Parks can sellout though.
Contact Info Required: All purchases require a phone number and personal email. Universal tickets require the full first and last name of all ticketholders.
Universal App: You can immediately link your regular tickets to the Universal Orlando app.
Express Pass (Universal direct only): We do not sell Express Pass passes, but you can purchase Express Pass directly from Universal as an add-on to a ticket bought from MWR.
Eligibility: Available to the entire Redstone community. Regular Base and Park to Park tickets do not require a Military/DoW ID at the gate. Please note the 2026 Military Freedom Pass offer (see below) has strict eligibility requirements.
Gifting: All Base and Park-to-Park Universal tickets can be gifted. The purchaser does not need a ticket in their name. However, we will need the names of the individuals going to Universal. Upon purchase by an eligible customer, Universal will email the tickets to that customer's email. The tickets will have the names of the individuals going and can be printed out and used directly at the gate.
Universal Orlando - 2026 Military Freedom Pass
*NOT Giftable*
2026 Universal Freedom Passes are available as of Nov 13, 2025 and can be used immediately. Eligibility requirements apply.
The Military Freedom Pass lets you visit nearly every day. You can use it over and over again until the expiration date (December 18, 2026). Freedom Passes function as an unlimited-use Park-to-Park ticket until their expiration.
Limit 6 per ID card holder per year. (If both sponsor and spouse have military ID, they can get 12 total, but each 6 would have to be a separate transaction). While the lead guest must have an eligible ID, the other 5 guests can be family, friends, neighbors, etc. and do not need a military ID. Reminder that we will need the full first and last name at the time of purchase.
Eligible IDs: Freedom Pass Tickets are available only to active or retired Military US Service Members (including National Guard and Reserve), dependent spouses with ID, 100% Disabled Veterans, and current DoW Civilian employees. Reminder that you must have a physical ID.
Not Eligible IDs: Dependents (other than spouses), DoW Contractors, DoW Retirees, Divorced Spouses, FBI/CIA, NASA, Veterans who are less than 100% disabled, Foreign Military Affiliates, and anyone not listed in “Eligibility” above. Please note the Veterans Health Identification Card (VHIC) is not considered a valid ID for proof of eligibility for Freedom Pass tickets.
Reminder: The eligible purchaser must have a Freedom Pass in their name as Universal will be checking their military ID at the park when they are activated.
2 Park = Universal Studios & Islands of Adventures only
3 Park = Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, & Volcano Bay only
2026 Universal Freedom Pass
| Ticket | Prices | Dates |
|---|---|---|
| 2 Park Freedom Pass - Adult | $220.00 | Expires December 18, 2026 |
| 2 Park Freedom - Child (3 - 9) |
$215.00 | Expires December 18, 2026 |
| 3 Park Freedom Pass - Adult | $255.00 | Expires October 26, 2026 |
| 3 Park Freedom - Child (3 - 9) |
$250.00 | Expires October 26, 2026 |
2 Parks vs 3 Parks (No Epic): 2 Parks are (1) Universal Studios and (2) Islands of Adventures. The 3 Park option includes those two plus the (3) Volcano Bay waterpark. Unlimited access to Epic Universe is not included, but 1 Day Add-Ons are available directly from Universal. If you plan to go to Universal only one time in 2026 and you want to visit Epic multiple days, it may be a better plan to purchase a date specific ticket.
Volcano Bay 2026 Maintenance Closure: Volcano Bay Waterpark will be closed for maintenance from October 26 to spring 2027. The 2026 3-Park Freedom Pass will not be available for sale after October 26.
Park-to-Park included: The Freedom Pass functions as a Park to Park ticket and allows you to freely travel between eligible parks each day through the expiration date, so Universal Studios and Islands of Adventures (if you select the 2 Park), plus Volcano Bay (if you select the 3 Park option). You can ride the Hogwarts Express with a Freedom Pass.
Epic Universe may be available at least a 15% discount as a 1-Day Base Add-On. Access is not guaranteed by owning a Freedom Pass. It is a 1-day date-specific add-on to the Freedom Pass. Purchased directly from Universal, more details about purchasing the 1-Day Base Add-On are available below in a separate section. You can buy multiple of these Add-Ons (so you can go to Epic multiple times.) Other Epic Universe tickets from MWR are available for non-Freedom Pass holders. If you plan to go to Universal only one time in 2026 and you want to visit Epic multiple days, it may be a better plan to purchase a date specific ticket rather than the Freedom Pass.
Expiration & Blockout dates: These tickets are valid November 13, 2025 – December 18, 2026. There are blockout dates, as the tickets cannot be used December 25 2025 to January 4 2026 or March 30 – April 6 2026. They expire in full on December 18, 2026.
Limit 6 per ID card holder per calendar year. (If both sponsor and spouse have military ID, they can get 12 total, but each 6 would have to be a separate transaction). While the lead guest must have an eligible ID, the other 5 guests can be family, friends, neighbors, etc. and do not need a military ID. Reminder that we will need the full first and last name at the time of purchase.
Reminder: The eligible purchaser must have a Freedom Pass in their name as Universal will be checking their military ID at the park.
Activating at Universal: The Freedom Pass tickets must be presented and activated at the Front Gate Ticket Window for validation at your initial visit. You can also activate them at the concierge desk at all Universal hotels. Universal staff will verify the military ID at this time and print out the final usable form of the Freedom Passes.
Universal App: You can eventually link your Freedom Pass to the Universal Orlando app, but only after you have exchanged/activated the pass at Universal.
This is not an annual pass. The Freedom Pass doesn't not come with all the perks of Universal's annual pass. So no merchandise discounts, free parking, etc. It only includes park admission.
Buying More Later: You can purchase additional Military Freedom Pass tickets after you have visited Universal and activated your Freedom Passes. The ticket limit of 6 still applies. The remaining Freedom Passes must be bought at the same office you bought the initial Freedom Passes. If a spouse was included on the original sponsor's purchase, the spouse can purchase additional tickets later, but are limited to 5 at the point. (You can end up with a scenario of a limit of 11 tickets over two eligible IDs.)
Extra Benefit: Only the lead guest with military ID has to be there for the initial Freedom Pass activation. The lead guest can pick up the Freedom Passes for other guests when they are picking up their own Freedom pass. Universal only cares about the ID of the lead guest. This means if someone wants to visit Universal later in the year but can't go the first trip, the lead guest (with eligible military ID) can still pick up the Freedom Pass for others on that first trip. Once Universal staff has activated the Freedom Passes, the other guests can use the Freedom Passes on eligible dates without the lead guest being there.

Universal Epic Universe 1 Day Add-On Tickets – 15% Off Option
Universal Epic Universe - Universal Epic Universe opened May 22, 2025.

For Epic Universe, you can purchase a full-price 1 Day Base Ticket to Epic Universe directly from Universal (either via the Universal App or on the Universal Website, not MWR). Tickets are date specific and can sell out. You can buy a full-price ticket at any time (before or after activating your Freedom Pass in Orlando) assuming they are available.

Purchasing a 2026 Freedom Pass gives you (eventual) access to at least a 15% off discounted and date specific 1 Day Base Ticket to Epic Universe.

Tickets are date specific and can sell out. MWR staff unfortunately cannot check availability for you for the 1-Day Epic Add-on.
BUY FROM UNIVERSAL, NOT MWR
You will not buy these specific Epic tickets from MWR. These Add-On tickets are bought directly from Universal, either at the park or in the Universal app with an activated Freedom Pass. You will pay tax and the price will vary per date.

In Orlando, guests are able to purchase the Epic tickets as soon as they activate their Freedom Passes. Customers can purchase Epic Tickets at the Front Gate, Guest Services OR Vacation Planning Desks in Universal Hotels.

The Epic Universe 1 Day Add-On tickets are date specific and pricing will vary per day. The last day guests can visit Epic with the 2026 Freedom Pass Ticket is December 18, 2026. If a guest purchases a 1 Day Epic Add-On Ticket and needs to modify the date, they will need to call Universal for assistance. They will not be able to make the change through the app or online. They can call (877) 801-9720. There may be a price difference when changing a date.
YOU CAN BUY MULTIPLE 1 DAYS
You are not limited to one day at Epic. Freedom pass holders can purchase multiple one day add-on tickets.
THEY CAN SELL OUT
Please note limited quantities of the Add-On 1 Day tickets are available per day. Epic Universe can sell out. We recognize this may impact vacation planning if you can’t purchase tickets until after activation, but that is Universal’s decision.
