Big news out of Universal Orlando<\/a>! If you\u2019re a fan of skipping the lines, you\u2019re likely familiar with Universal Express Pass<\/a>, or perhaps even Express Unlimited<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Universal Express Pass<\/p>\n

Things are about to change, though, because Universal has now introduced a NEW version of Universal Express pass, called Express Now. This pass allows you to skip the line at ONE attraction, one time, for one price. How exactly does it work? Let\u2019s dive into what we know so far.<\/p>\n

According to the Universal Orlando website, Universal Express Now allows you to \u201cenjoy a shorter wait once at the participating attraction you\u2019ve selected during a specific time window on the day of your visit by entering the Express queue.\u201d However, it\u2019s only available inside the Universal Orlando app on the day of your visit, meaning that you\u2019re not able to pre-book it before your trip begins.<\/p>\n

You have to make sure that location services are enabled on your phone, otherwise the app won\u2019t be able to tell that you\u2019re inside the park, which is, again, the only way you\u2019ll be able to see the Express Now option available. If you\u2019re not in the parks and don\u2019t have a valid theme park admission, you won\u2019t be able to see what\u2019s available. Universal also warns that there is limited availability day-of at select participating attractions, and the availability is based on capacity and wait times. At this time, there\u2019s no list as to what attractions are included, but we do know that it\u2019s offered at Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, and Epic Universe!<\/p>\n

If this sounds familiar, it\u2019s likely because it\u2019s a little similar to Disney\u2019s Lightning Lane Single Pass<\/a> system. Both systems allow you to skip the line at one attraction once for a separate price, but you are able to pre-book your Lightning Lanes at least three days in advance at Disney (seven days in advance if you\u2019re staying at a Disney World hotel). Currently, there\u2019s no mention of anyone being able to book in advance for Universal Express Now, so everyone is on an equal playing field.<\/p>\n
