Universal Kids Resort Introduces Gold Annual Pass With Discounts, No Blockout Dates

Universal Kids Resort has introduced a new Gold Annual Pass with no blockout dates, free regular parking, discounts on food and merchandise, and more. The new pass costs $199.99 (plus tax) and includes:

  • Admission to Universal Kids Resort for 12 months
  • No blockout dates
  • Free regular self-parking
  • 10% off eligible food and beverage purchases
  • 10% off eligible merchandise purchases
  • 10% off 1-Day and 2-Day Friends & Family tickets
  • 10% off Private VIP Experiences
  • Complimentary hotel room upgrades based on availability
  • $20 off Premium Parking

Silver Passholders get early upgrade access

Universal will apply the value of the Silver Pass toward the upgrade. Those with regular Silver Passes will have to pay $70. Those with the parking option will only need to pay an additional $35.

Upgrades can be completed at Guest Services or by calling the Guest Contact Center at 888-331-9105 while the Silver Pass remains valid.

Upgrading will not restart the 12 months. The Gold Pass will have the same expiration date.

Gold passes must be activated within 12 months of purchase. Any pass that isn’t activated during that period will expire, along with its benefits.

Free parking

Gold Passholders receive free regular self-parking at Universal Kids Resort.

The benefit doesn’t include preferred parking, EV parking, valet parking, RV or bus parking, or parking at the Universal Kids Resort Hotel.

Regular parking currently costs $20 plus tax, so this could make up a substantial portion of the difference between the Silver and Gold passes for frequent visitors.

Those wanting to park closer to the entrance can save $20 on premium parking. That’s normally $30, plus tax.

Food and beverage discounts

Gold Passholders can save 10% on 1- and 2-day park tickets for friends and family, up to six tickets per visit date. As with the limited-time 50% discount offer, the Passholder must buy the tickets in person at the park.

They can also save 10% on the Universal Kids Resort Private VIP Experience.

Complimentary hotel room upgrades

Finally, Gold Passholders staying at the hotel may receive a room upgrade for their entire stay, subject to availability.

Universal Kids Resort Gold Passes are available on the UKR website or by calling 888-331-9105.
