Universal Kids Resort Introduces New Gold Annual Pass With No Blockout Dates

Universal Kids Resort is expanding its Annual Pass lineup with a brand-new premium option designed for families who want more flexibility to visit throughout the year.

Announced September 29, 2026, the Gold Annual Pass provides 12 months of admission to Universal Kids Resort with no blockout dates, along with complimentary regular self-parking and several additional discounts and perks.

The new Gold Annual Pass costs $199.99 per person and joins the resort’s existing Silver Annual Pass and Silver Annual Pass with Parking options.

Gold Annual Pass Benefits

The biggest advantage of the new Gold Annual Pass is the ability to visit Universal Kids Resort throughout the year without worrying about blockout dates.

In addition to year-round admission, Gold Annual Passholders receive:

• 10% off select food and beverage purchases
• 10% off select merchandise purchases
• 10% off 1-Day and 2-Day Friends & Family tickets
• 10% off Private VIP Experiences
• Complimentary regular self-parking
• Complimentary hotel room upgrades, based on availability

The pass is particularly geared toward families who plan to make multiple visits throughout the year and want additional savings and flexibility during their trips.

Existing Annual Pass Options Remain Available

Universal Kids Resort will continue offering its Silver Annual Pass options alongside the new Gold tier.

The Silver Annual Pass provides one guest with 12 months of admission, although certain dates are subject to blockout restrictions.

The Silver Annual Pass with Parking includes the same admission benefits while also adding complimentary regular self-parking.

Guests who already have a Silver Annual Pass can upgrade to the Gold Annual Pass by paying the difference between their current pass and the $199.99 Gold Annual Pass price, plus applicable tax.
