EARLY PARK ADMISSION is easier to get than you think. You simply use a Travel Agent when purchasing your tickets.

With every booking, our clients receive Early Park Admission to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Universal’s Volcano Bay water theme park up to one hour before the theme parks open. Paid theme park admission is required, but there is no additional fee for the Early Access to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter or Volcano Bay.

Be sure to take a printout of the E-Doc sent to you by your Travel Advisor or have it easily available to pull up on your phone. This will show that you have access to this great perk.

By far the best way to make the most of every benefit available for your vacation is by booking your Orlando Vacation through a Travel Agent. This post will go over some of the main reasons, but if you want to learn more, please reach out to us at 540-293-5132.

Another great way to ensure that you receive early access to the parks is by booking an official on-site hotel. By booking either a room only or a Universal Resort hotel package through your Travel Agent you will also have access to the Early Park Admission benefit.

Do Universal hotel guests get in early?

All of the Universal Orlando Resort hotels offer Early Park Admission (EPA). Early Park Admission allows you to enter select parks up to an hour early during your stay. This benefit can be a huge help to get a hop on the crowds, especially during busy peak times!

Is universal early admission worth it?

So, Universal early admission is absolutely worth it if visiting the parks during any of the busy holiday seasons. You won't have to worry about getting turned away, and can go straight to rides like Escape From Gringotts that will be a 2+ hour wait later in the day.

What time is universal early access?

For most of the year, this early-entry period at the theme parks starts at 8:00 am, meaning everyone else will be allowed in around 9:00 am. During the busier seasons, Universal may open one or more of the parks an hour before that, with EPA starting at 7:00 am and allowing other guests in at 8:00.

How can I get to Harry Potter world early?

Trip Tip. Access The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ an hour before the park opens with Early Park Admission*, a free perk when you book a vacation package, stay at an resort hotel or use your Preferred or Premier Annual Pass.
