UOAP Bonus Benefit Days are a special seasonal offering exclusively for Universal Orlando passholders from Jan. 5-31, 2026. During the event, eligible passholders can access discounts, limited-time food and beverage offers, early park access, and select giveaways by presenting a valid pass.
Benefits may vary by pass type and availability, and some offerings are while supplies last. These Universal Orlando Annual Pass “Bonus Benefits” are similar to events held in early May and from mid-August through September. Universal Orlando Resort uses these promotions to attract more passholders to the theme parks during historically slower times of year.
Exclusive food & beverage items for UOAP Bonus Benefit Days
NSFD Doughnut at Voodoo Doughnut.
One of the highlights of UOAP Bonus Benefit Days is access to exclusive menu items available only during the event and only for Universal Orlando passholders. However, we have a few words of caution. During our visit on the opening day of the UOAP Bonus Benefit Days, two of the passholder-exclusive menu items were unavailable. We understand that this issue has been resolved.
