Heads up, Universal Annual Passholders! You’ll want to hear this.

2025 is arguably shaping up to be one of the most important years in the history of the Universal Orlando Resort, thanks to the grand opening of Epic Universe this May. The highly-anticipated new park seems poised to change not only the industry as a whole but also the fundamentals of what a Universal trip entails for many visitors. That’s still almost six months away, though. In the meantime, Universal Orlando is kicking off the year with some NEW rewards for its Annual Passholders.
Universal Orlando AP Bonus Benefits are returning from January 6th through the 31st! These are a fun way for Passholders to “keep the celebration going after the holiday,” according to Universal.

Some of the available benefits available throughout the month include:
- Savings of up to 40% on select Universal hotel rooms.
- A special Annual Passholder Bonus Benefits lanyard featuring resort-inspired graphics, including Epic Universe
- Passholder-exclusive “upstairs patio dining space” and menu items at Islands of Adventure’s Confisco Grille and Universal Studios Florida’s Lombard’s Seafood Grille.

- Early Park Admission to Universal’s Volcano Bay water park on select dates from January 6th to the 31st. (Available for 3-Park Power and Seasonal Passholders)
- Exclusive food & beverage offers at Universal Orlando Hotels, including:
- One complimentary dessert with the purchase of a lunch or dinner entrée at Trattoria del Porto per Passholder per visit at the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel
- Buy one draft beer or house wine, get one draft beer or house wine free at The Kitchen (per Passholder, per visit. Must be 21+ with valid photo ID) at the Hard Rock Hotel

These Bonus Benefits make January a great time for Universal Orlando Annual Passholders to visit the resort before the sure-to-be hectic opening months of Epic Universe. Stay tuned to AllEars for more Universal updates.
