Universal Orlando has made major updates to its facilities, attractions, and offerings over the last few years and the result has seen more and more Guests venture over to the property to enjoy many incredible experiences, including the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the all-new Jurassic World Velocicoaster, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, The Bourne Stuntacular, The Simpson’s Ride, and much more.
We previously reported on the updates to the annual passes for Universal Orlando Resort, but it seems there has been another major update since those benefits were released: A price increase.
These are now the new prices for two-park UOAPs (for non-Florida residents):
- Premier Pass ($714.99)
- Preferred Pass ($499.99)
- Power Pass ($449.99)
- Seasonal Pass ($399.99)
These prices reflect a $50.00 increase for each level pass.
If you’d like to do the three-park UOAP, here is what you will now pay:
- Premier Pass ($904.99)
- Preferred Pass ($609.99)
- Power Pass ($559.99)
- Seasonal Pass ($499.99)
Of course, Florida residents receive a healthy discount on UOAPs and those rates can be found on the official Universal Orlando Resort website.
