Universal is getting ready to open its third theme park, Epic Universe, on May 22nd, 2025 — and we are so ready.
The new theme park will include five themed lands with new attractions, restaurants, shopping, and more. Tickets went on sale last year, but Universal recently released new details about discounted tickets, including discounts for members of the U.S. military. Now, we’re breaking down the details about that discount!
Active duty and retired U.S. military members who have an active 2025 Military Freedom Pass now have the opportunity to purchase a 1-Park, 1-Day Universal Epic Universe ticket as an add-on to their pass. They can do this via their Universal Orlando account.
So why is this a big deal? Well, regular guests who want to visit Epic Universe can’t get single day tickets JUST for that park. They have to buy multi-day tickets with one day at Epic Universe. So this is a huge advantage for military members.
Ticket prices will vary according to date, and military members can purchase up to six tickets per transaction. However, note that there is no limit on the number of transactions you can make. So, according to the language online, you could purchase up to six dates in one transaction, and then go back in and purchase six additional dates in another transaction, and so on. Or you can purchase one date for six Military Freedom Pass holders in one transaction and then purchase an additional date for six Military Freedom Pass holders in another transaction.
We hope that straightens out all the details about purchasing these regular tickets. Universal also released discounted ticket details for Florida residents — you can read all about that here.
We’ll be at Epic Universe on DAY ONE, so you’ll want to stay tuned to DFB for more Epic Universe news.
