Universal Orlando is gearing up for its grand opening of Epic Universe, the highly anticipated 750-acre park, with tickets reportedly set to go on sale as soon as this month! This timeline has seemingly been accelerated, as the park is now expected to open as early as Memorial Day weekend 2025—well ahead of the previously planned Summer 2025 launch.

The urgency behind this ticket rollout stems from Universal’s strategic move to challenge Disney’s long-standing dominance in Florida’s theme park scene. As Universal prepares to unveil Epic Universe, the company aims to attract visitors with enticing multiday pass options that will grant admission not only to the new park but also to its existing attractions, including Universal Studios Florida.
Travel agents briefed on the ticket sale launch plan indicate that Universal will initially require visitors to purchase these multiday passes according to reporting by the Wall Street Journal. This approach allows guests to experience Epic Universe while managing anticipated high demand and avoiding overcrowding. Pass holders will be able to allocate one day for the new park, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable experience during the initial weeks of operation.

While these multiday passes are just the first phase of ticket sales, Universal has hinted at future options, including single-day tickets and annual passholder sales, aimed at broadening access for a variety of guests. With estimates suggesting that Epic Universe could attract around one million visitors away from Disney in 2025 and 2026, the park’s opening is poised to significantly boost attendance across all three Universal parks in the area by over eight million visitors.
As Universal Orlando sets its sights on becoming an even more formidable player in Florida’s theme park market, fans are eagerly awaiting more details about what Epic Universe will have to offer. Stay tuned for ticket sales and prepare for an adventure that promises to deliver unforgettable experiences in a vibrant new environment!
