Early Park Admission at Universal Orlando Resort: A Guide for Visitors
Benefits of Early Park Admission
Early Park Admission (EPA) is a perk available to guests staying at Universal Orlando Resort hotels and certain other guests. It allows access to a limited selection of rides at least one of Universal Orlando's parks—Universal Studios Florida or Universal's Islands of Adventure—every day.
Extended Ride Time
With EPA, guests can enjoy popular attractions with shorter wait times before the parks officially open to the general public, giving them more time to experience their favorite rides and shows.
Exclusive Access to Wizarding World of Harry Potter
Universal Hotel guests with EPA can enter the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Islands of Adventure an hour before the park opens, allowing them to explore the immersive land and experience attractions like Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts with minimal crowds.
