Yes, it is one Express entry per ride per day.

So with the 3 Park, 5 Day Express Pass:



Is that one express entry per ride over the five days, or one express entry per ride per day?

Ie, if you had this 5 Day Express Pass ticket, and spent three of those five days in Epic - would you have one express entry per ride spread over those three days, or one express entry per ride on each of those three days?

It is supposed to be once per day, however it doesn't say that as far as I can see in the details?

It says so when buying from OI:

Thanks, that makes things much clearer - you'd think they'd have the relevant info on the official website.

It also doesn't specify that it's limited to one park per day, so depending on the price this could be a pretty good deal. We normally stay at Royal Pacific for the Unlimited Express, but we prefer Sapphire Falls - so with this Express Pass it may make more sense to stay there and just buy one of these.

Way too late trying to actually look into this as the line is paused but I’m thinking I could save money and not go for express considering I’ll have two whole days at the park with early entry for Nintendo on the second day. Plus I’ll be a single rider.

Maybe I am mistaken, but I guess that would depend on what type of actual theme park ticket you have, and whether your ticket allows you to visit more than one park per day.

As far as I can tell the stipulation for Express is just one-time use for all the rides (per day according to OI) regardless of which park you are in.

The OI information on Express was much clearer than official website. I too am curious if we park hop between USF/IOA, if we would be able to use the Express Pass Standard on both parks for 1 day, with caveat can only ride 1 attraction once for both parks.

I would never both with buying a single use express, so is this already a current offering, just with Epic Added or completely new, multi-day EP that is?

I'm curious on the fine print for the discounted multi-day, 3-Park Express Passes. There has to be a catch for getting this pass as low as $59/day. I would assume it's one time use per attraction for the entire amount of days? But they do not explicitly say this and it has the potential to make a lot of people confused and mad!

It's $59 per day. or $259

Here Is what universal just told me when I chatted with them on X

We have AP Epic tickets for the 22nd, 24th and 26th. I purchased 1 Day Express Passes for the 22nd and 26th when they went on sale this morning - the total cost for two of us was $1,064.96

I just called Universal on (407) 224-7840 and the person I spoke with confirmed that the multi-day passes are one use per attraction per day, and that they can be used in any of the parks on every single day that the express pass is valid assuming you have entry tickets - ie you can use it at Epic every day.

They also don’t have to be used on consecutive days:

- 2 day express can be used within a 5 day period
- 3 day express can be used within a 6 day period
- 4 day express can be used within a 7 day period
- 5 day express can be used within an 8 day period

Express Passes are usually non refundable, but it looks like they’re making an exception if you bought multiple 1 Day Express Passes and could have saved money / got more days with a multi day express pass.

The person I spoke to helped me get our original order refunded and created a new order for 3 Day Express Passes starting on the 22nd, which will cover all three of our Epic days. The total cost for two of us was $937.18 - so we saved $127.78 and we have an extra day of express.

If anyone else is in a similar position it’s definitely worth calling.

I played around with AI to get an upscaled version of the epic universe map thats in the app. Ill work on getting attraction labels added (did not include originally as the ones in the app overtake the entire park map IMO). let me know if theres anything I should do to tweak this and if its helpful to anyone! I have higher res versions but the site wont let me include them.

Rumours on FB that AP preview tickets will be going live at 10.30am today, along with Universal Visa Card Holders and Military Pass Holders. Guess we'll see as the source of these rumours has a mixed track record for getting the timing of these things right.

Also - apparently Universal Hotel Guests too?

Lmao

Wait, did previews actually go on sale? I randomly peeked at the passholder tickets link, and it put me in a queue with a "The line is paused" message.

Did everyone just join just in case, or were people actually able to buy previews?

I just clicked out of curiosity, but now I'm about to get real FOMO.

Is this a late April Fools joke?

Joined just in case, I was able to get through at 10am in about 15 minutes and its just for single day tickets. Nothing for APs / the above as of 11am atleast.

No, but this wouldn't be the first time the source of these rumours has got this wrong. Then again they have been good with other things in the past so who knows. They've now said that Visa Card Holder preview tickets will be going on sale at 1pm.

I have no independent info, just posting as the rumours were picking up steam and didn't want anyone to miss out if they did end up true this time.

The former.

Interesting! Some rando on reddit said they were actually available from April 17-May 8, ranging from $123-$144. Can't verify the truth of it, though

TICKETS ARE UP. I just got tickets for early May!!!!
