Universal Orlando Encouraging Passholders to Visit the Parks During the Week Due to Increased Demand on Weekends

Over the past few weekends, Universal Orlando Resort had to temporarily close its two theme parks (Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure) due to capacity; as a result, the resort is now asking Annual Passholders to try to visit the parks during the week to avoid encountering larger-than-normal crowds.

Here's the email many annual passholders received earlier today:

Dear Passholder,

We wanted to share some important information to help you make the most of your next visit to the parks. Due to increased demand when we’re still limiting attendance as part of our enhanced procedures, there are times when the theme parks may reach capacity and additional guests will not be admitted.

For the next two weekends, if your plans are flexible, consider visiting on a weekday when the attendance tends to be lighter. We encourage you to check our social channels, UniversalOrlando.com, or call the Universal Orlando Resort Capacity Hotline at 407-817-8317 for real-time updates about the park capacity before your next visit.

Thank you for being part of our UOAP Family and we look forward to seeing you on your next visit.

Universal Orlando has not introduced any additional blockout dates for annual passholders as of now.
