Universal Studios Florida
It’s just like being in your favorite movies and TV shows for real along with twists, turns and drops. Face villains you’ve only seen on screen. Save the earth daily, or even hourly. And you may even encounter a dragon that breathes real fire. This is way beyond the movies.
Islands of Adventure
This is where your favorite stories, legends, and characters come to life. Super Heroes. Magical creatures. Even dinosaurs (not so extinct after all). This is the place where you can live the adventure on rides that will lift you up and take your breath away. And sometimes even drench you in the most perfect way. Here, every land is a new and amazing reality to explore.
What is the Express Pass at Universal Orlando Resort?
The 2024 Universal Studios Orlando Express Pass is an add-on feature you can choose for your Universal Orlando park tickets.
All of our discount Universal Express Passes allow you to enter a separate line, avoiding those long, winding lines that everyone else is standing in to get onto the ride. It can be a great way to save time and avoid long lines on your next vacation.
Express Pass Pros:
- You will save time in the ride queues. There is no guarantee of how much time you’ll save, but you’ll spend less time in line.
- It covers the room cost if you stay in a Premier hotel at Universal Orlando with three or more people.
- You can ride almost all the main rides in one visit. So, if you’re only visiting for one day, the discount Universal Express Pass is a great way to get you on as many rides as possible.
- It’ll prevent you from standing in long, hot outdoor lines in those warm summer months, so you’ll probably feel much better at the park.
- Discount Universal Express passes can get you better seating at some shows and performances by allowing you to be one of the first guests to pick your seat.
Express Pass Cons:
- It’s pretty expensive if you’re not staying at a Universal Premier Hotel where you get it for free.
- Everyone in your party must purchase the add-on if you all want to enjoy it.
- On some rides, it causes you to miss some pretty fantastic ride queues that are essential parts of the storytelling of a ride.
- Sometimes, the single-rider line is just as fast and costs nothing.
You can purchase the Standard Universal Express Pass (some call the Universal Fast Pass), where you skip the line on most rides (see below) just once. Or you can upgrade and get the Universal Studios Express Unlimited, which gives you unlimited skip-the-line passes for those same rides.
Special Note: All of the discount Universal Studios Express Passes sold by The Park Prodigy are unlimited Express Passes.
How long are waits with the Universal Express Pass?
One of the most important questions we receive from our client’s whey they are trying to decide if the Universal express pass is worth it; how long are the waits with the Universal Express Pass?
As a general rule of thumb, when Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure are busy, there will still be a wait even with the Universal Express Pass. On Average, that wait will be between 10-15 minutes using the Universal Express Pass. This waiting period is still significantly shorter than the regular standby line.
How Does the Universal Express Pass Work?
When you purchase an express pass, you will be given a separate ticket to show as you enter each line. The park attendant will scan that pass and let you into the Express line. You’ll have that pass rechecked for rides with longer, more in-depth lines as you approach the ride.
If you are staying at one of the universal hotels that offer express passes, you will do the same, except that it will be with your hotel room key you use to get on each ride, so make sure everyone in your group has a hotel room key.
How Do You Purchase a Universal Express Pass?
You can buy your discount Universal Express Passes at the same time you purchase your Universal tickets online from theparkprodigy.com or any time before your park visit starts or even as you enter the park.
You can purchase them for just one or both parks directly from Universal. What is nice about this option is that you can wait until you’re at the park to see how crowded it is to help you determine if you’ll need an express pass while visiting.
Types of Discount Universal Express Passes
When buying discount Universal Express Passes, the most important factor is to consider how many days you would like to use the express pass. On top of that, which park or parks do you want to use the express passes at? The main reason is Universal Orlando sells one-day express passes for Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay individually. However, they also sell park-to-park express passes for Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure.
The last question you’ll have to ask yourself is how many times you would like to go on each ride. Is one time per ride enough with the regular express pass, or would you prefer to go on each ride as many times as you would like with the unlimited express pass?
As discussed above, The Park Prodigy only sells Universal Orlando tickets + Universal Express passes on this page, which provides park-to-park capabilities with unlimited access to rides. The tickets sold on this page are almost always a better deal when using the express pass for multiple days as it’s a bundle and save.

Picking The Right Discount Universal Orlando Express Pass
Universal Orlando Express Passes - One Time Per Ride Pros
The regular Universal Orlando express pass will allow guests to skip the ride at participating attractions one time per day. The most significant benefit to this type of Universal Express Pass is it will typically always be the cheapest Express Pass, especially when compared to just one day in the theme parks. This is especially true if you only want to purchase the express pass for one of the Universal Orlando theme parks instead of the park-to-park variety.
From our experience, we also find this to be a great fit for families who have never been to Universal Orlando and are only visiting for one or two days. This will give you a feel for which rides you enjoy and get onto every attraction at least once.
Universal Orlando Express Passes - One Time Per Ride Cons
The biggest con with the regular Universal Express Pass is that it’s never included in the Universal Orlando ticket + Universal Express Pass deals on this page or provided for free by staying at one of the Universal Orlando premier hotels. For this reason, if you plan to use the Universal Express Pass for more than one day, you should almost always consider upgrading to the Universal Orlando Unlimited Express pass through the ticket + Universal Express Pass deals on this page or by staying at one of the premier resorts.
Universal Orlando Unlimited Express Pass Pros
The Universal Orlando unlimited express pass will allow guests to experience participating attractions as often as they would like within the day. We find this a great fit for families who have been to Universal Orlando before and are familiar with the rides they would like to go on.
The Universal Orlando Unlimited Express Pass will almost always be the best deal for families looking to use express pass tickets for more than one day. The reason is that the Universal Orlando ticket + Universal Express Pass deals will allow you to save when compared to buying express passes one day at a time, include the unlimited express pass tickets. From our experience helping our clients, these can offer tremendous savings compared to buying admission tickets and express passes separately.
Universal Orlando Unlimited Express Pass Cons
The only real con to the Unlimited Express Pass vs the regular Universal Orlando Express Pass is that it can be about $20-$30 more per ticket if you only purchase the express pass for one day in the theme parks.

You might be wondering, can I still take advantage of very low wait times on the VelociCoaster and Hagrid’s even though they are not included with any discount Universal Express Pass? Yes, we find the Universal Express Pass a great add-on to all of our Universal Orlando tickets with Early Park Admission. The main reason is both the VelociCoaster and Hagrid’s are included with Early Park Admission. So you can ride these two attractions first when crowds are at their lowest and then use your discount Express Pass tickets to go on all other attractions.

How Much Does it Cost to Add Express Pass to Universal Tickets?
Individual Universal Express pass prices start at $89.99 for the regular passes, and $119.99 for the Universal Studios Orlando Unlimited. However as a general rule of thumb that is almost never where most guests will actually buy their pass. The main reason being is the costs of express passes at Universal will always fluctuate based on the time of year you visit. On average we have seen the unlimited express pass right around $150-$175 per day per person.
This is one of the main reasons why we always recommend to look at the cheap Universal express pass tickets included in the combo tickets as they will provide a savings when compared to buying one day at a time.

We know that buying Universal Express Passes can be expensive. That’s why we wanted to help out as much as possible and provide a coupon specifically for families shopping for discount express pass tickets for Universal.

Time of Year: If you are visiting during a historically busy time of year at Universal (Christmas, Spring Break, Summer), you may want to get cheap Universal Orlando Express Pass tickets. Large crowds can create long lines, forcing you to spend most of your visit waiting in lines for hours instead of riding other rides or exploring the parks.
Length of Visit: If you only have one day to try to ride as many rides as possible, a cheap Universal Express ticket may be just what you need to ensure you can enjoy all of the fantastic rides and shows at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.
How Do You Get Universal Express Passes For Free?
There is a way to get discount Universal Express Passes for free. A Universal Studios Express Pass is a perk of staying at a Universal Premier Hotel. The following hotels offer each guest an Express Pass for each day they stay at the hotel, including check-in and departure days.
- Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando
- Universal’s Hard Rock Hotel
- Loews Royal Pacific Resort
Shop Universal Orlando Hotel Packages
If you have three or four people staying in your room, each Express Pass could cost as much as $169 per person (the price fluctuates during the year based on anticipated park attendance). So even if you are visiting during a non-peak time and the Express Pass is only around $50 per person, if you have four people staying three nights, you’ll be saving $800 on Express Passes if you had planned to visit the park for four of those days. Remember that you do not receive free a Universal Express Pass for Volcano Bay for staying at these resorts. That will need to be purchased separately if you want it.
Time of Year: If you are visiting during a historically busy time of year at Universal (Christmas, Spring Break, Summer), you may want to get cheap Universal Orlando Express Pass tickets.

Do Express Passes at Universal Sell Out?
Another critical question to consider when shopping for discount Express Pass tickets is, do Express Passes at Universal sell out? And yes, Universal express passes can sell out and most likely will sell out during the hectic times of the year. These include spring break, Thanksgiving weekend, and Christmas break.
Positives:
- You will save time in the ride queues. There is no guarantee of how much time you’ll save, but you’ll spend less time in line.
- It covers the room cost if you’re staying in a Universal Studios Premier hotel with three or more people.
- You’ll be able to ride almost all of the main rides in one visit. So, if you’re only visiting for one day, the discount Universal Express Pass is a great way to get you on as many rides as possible.
- It’ll prevent you from standing in long, hot outdoor lines in those warm summer months, so you’ll probably feel a lot better during your time at the park.
- Discount Universal Express passes can even get you better seating at some shows and performances by allowing you to be one of the first guests into the show to pick your seat.
Negatives:
- It’s fairly expensive if you’re not staying at a Universal Premier Hotel where you get it for free.
- Everyone in your party must purchase the add-on if you all want to enjoy it.
- On some rides, it causes you to miss some pretty amazing ride queues that are essential parts of the storytelling of a ride.
- Sometimes, the single-rider line is just as fast and costs nothing.
2023 Express Passes & Harry Potter Rides
The Universal Express Pass does include most rides from Harry Potter including Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, The Hogwarts Express, Flight of the Hippogriff and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.
It does not include Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. However on the flip side Hagrid’s is included with Early Park Admission.
Universal Express Pass Standard Vs Unlimited
So should you purchase the standard Universal express pass or the unlimited? The truth is this depends upon your party. If you’re visiting Universal Studios for the first time and want to enjoy as much of it as possible, the Standard Universal Express Ticket, which lets you skip the line for every ride just once, may be perfect.
But, if you’ve been to Universal and know you’re going to want to ride your favorite ride several times, you might want to purchase the Unlimited Universal Studios Orlando Skip-the-line ticket. The good news is that it isn’t too much money to go from the Standard Express Pass to the Unlimited Pass.
Decide if Express Passes Are Right For Your Family
The Park Prodigy can help you decide if the discount Universal Express Pass is the right fit for your family.
You can bundle these savings to buy cheap Universal Studios express pass combo tickets if you purchase your Universal Express Passes when we are running a deal.
We might have a better option if you purchase the express pass to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We would suggest using early park admission which will allow you into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter one hour early. You will be surprised at how much you can accomplish in The Wizard World of Harry Potter in one hour.
How Much Will You Save?
Many factors can come into play, but based on the history, most Universal Studios Express Pass wait times will be 2-4 times faster than the regular line. So, if the standard line predicts a 60-minute wait, you will most likely not need to wait more than 12-15 minutes in an Express Line, and it can even be a complete walk-on. The wait times with universal express pass are often non-existent.
