Universal Orlando Passholder Nights are returning this August, and we have secured our spots for the first night on August 15. The exclusive after-hours event takes over Universal Studios Florida on August 15 and 16 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., giving Annual and Seasonal Passholders four hours to enjoy the park with limited capacity, lower wait times, special entertainment, character meet-and-greets, and a few Passholder-only surprises. Reservations for both evenings are already fully committed, making this one of the hottest tickets of the summer.

This will not be our first Passholder Night, which is exactly why we are so excited to head back. There is something special about walking through Universal Studios Florida after the daytime crowds have cleared out and the park takes on a completely different energy. We are looking forward to dancing along with the DJ, catching the nighttime entertainment, fitting in as many rides as possible with shorter waits, and tracking down some of the rare characters who often appear during these events. Passholder Nights have become one of our favorite UOAP perks, and we cannot wait to see which familiar faces and unexpected surprises Universal has lined up this year.
The event is part of Universal Orlando’s Passholder Appreciation Days, running August 15 through September 30. Throughout the six-week celebration, Passholders can enjoy discounts on Universal Express Passes, mobile food and drink orders, merchandise, Volcano Bay cabanas, premium seating, and more. Guests who spend $100 or more at participating merchandise locations will receive a $15 merchandise credit for a future purchase. .
Passholders will also be among the first to shop the new Illuminated Globe Merchandise Collection, while a complimentary limited-time specialty item will be available at the UOAP Lounge in Toon Lagoon and The Tonight Shop while supplies last. The Toon Lagoon lounge will remain open from park opening through park close, and Passholders can save 35% on the My Universal Photos Annual Pass Photo Package when purchased in the parks.
There will also be plenty of Passholder-exclusive food and drinks to hunt down across the resort, including Prosciutto and Arugula Pizza at Louie’s Italian Restaurant, the Tipsy Watermelon at Chez Alcatraz, a Three Cheese Bavarian Pretzel at Pizza Predattoria, and the Kahuna Bowl at Volcano Bay. CityWalk offerings include the Chocolate Peanut Butter Explosion at Toothsome, Rocky Road Donut at Voodoo Doughnut, Huarache de Chorizo at Antojitos, Triangoletti alla Vodka at Vivo Italian Kitchen, Island Fire Chicken and Waffles at Bob Marley-A Tribute to Freedom, and Pork Dumplings at The Cowfish.
