Are you a Universal Orlando Annual Passholder like us? Well, get ready for the Passholder Bonus Benefits! From May 1st to May 26th, you’ll get a bunch of perks like an exclusive entrance, special menu items, and other surprises. I am so super excited, but trying to parse through all the benefits on Universal’s page was confusing, so here is my take on all that is happening for Passholders during month of May!
Start your day faster
As a Passholder, you can avoid the entrance lines and enter Universal’s Islands of Adventure through an exclusive entrance from 8 am to 2 pm, May 1st to May 26th. Just go to the marked UOAP turnstiles at the exit of Universal’s Islands of Adventure and present your Annual Pass. It’s that easy! We always love the passholder lanes for entry, go much quicker than typical lanes as UOAP know exactly what they need to have ready to enter.
Dining locations
Who doesn’t love exclusive dining locations and menu items? As a Passholder, you can enjoy both at Confisco Grille in Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Lombard’s Seafood Grille in Universal Studios Florida. You’ll have access to exclusive upstairs dining spaces and menu items that will make you feel like royalty. Just don’t forget to ask the venue team member for assistance when ordering Passholder exclusive menu items. The views from Confisco’s upper level are gorgeous and a great way to enjoy a meal. Remember too, both of these restaurants allow for reservations, so avoid lines at other restaurants by reserving here! We already have our reservations for Confisco on Saturday evening!
Secret menu
You’re part of the elite Passholder group, so why not have access to exclusive menu items? From May 1st to May 26th, you can purchase exclusive menu items at select locations by simply asking the venue team member for assistance. A previous year, Confisco offered Ahi Tuna Nachos and they became a menu staple that I always order!

Passholder magnet

Get yours at the UOAP Lounge in Toon Lagoon in Universal’s Islands of Adventure from 11 am to 4 pm daily and at the Five and Dime in Universal Studios Florida from park open to park close.
