Universal Orlando Resort just dropped a massive bombshell for theme park fans! If you’ve been on the fence about joining the UOAP (Universal Orlando Annual Passholder) family, your timing couldn’t be better. Starting Thursday, January 15, guests who purchase any 2-Park Annual or Seasonal Pass will receive three months free.

That is 15 months of thrills for the price of 12. Still, the news doesn’t stop at the free months. Universal is rolling out the red carpet for Passholders during the upcoming Universal Mardi Gras: International Flavors of Carnaval.

Exclusive Mardi Gras Perks for Passholders

While the “3 Months Free” offer is the headliner, the seasonal perks for the “International Flavors of Carnaval” are equally enticing. Here is what Passholders can look forward to:

  • Food & Beverage: Exclusive discounts on food and the opportunity to purchase a secret, UOAP-exclusive Mardi Gras menu item.
  • VIP Access: Early access to the highly anticipated Mardi Gras Tribute Store and the Cursed Coconut Club.
  • Parade Viewing: Access to a designated parade viewing area so you can catch those beads without the usual crowd stress.
  • Ride and Dine Discount: Current and new Passholders save 15% on the Mardi Gras Float Ride and Dine Experience. This unique experience allows you to actually ride on a float and toss beads during the parade!

Whether you are a local or a frequent visitor, this “3 Months Free” offer is one of the best values we’ve seen in years. Head over to UniversalOrlando.com/MardiGras to lock in your pass before the party starts.
