Universal Epic Universe Single Day Tickets – How to Steps

Universal Orlando’s highly anticipated new theme park, Epic Universe, is opening on May 22, 2025, and single-day tickets are now available! However, when purchasing, the default selection is a 3-day ticket, so you’ll need to filter for a single-day ticket manually. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure you secure your Epic Universe admission smoothly.

Steps for Purchasing Single Day Epic Universe Tickets

Step 1: Join the Virtual Queue

Due to the high demand for Epic Universe tickets, Universal has implemented a virtual queue system. When you visit the Universal Orlando ticketing site, you may see a waiting page indicating your estimated wait time. Do not refresh the page or close the window to avoid losing your place in line.

Step 2: Universal Orlando Website

Once you’re in, you’ll be able to purchase directly from the official source. Avoid third-party sites that may not offer legitimate tickets.

Step 3: Filter for Single-Day Tickets

By default, the ticket selection may show multi-day options (such as the 3-Day Florida Resident Ticket, which includes Epic Universe and other Universal parks). To purchase a single-day ticket, manually filter your selection:

  • Under Days Visiting, choose 1 Day (the default selection is 3 Days).
  • Under Theme Park, select Universal Epic Universe.
  • Click Apply Filters to update your ticket options.

Step 5: Select Your Ticket Type

Universal offers different ticket tiers, such as:

  • One Park Per Day (Standard Admission)
  • Park-to-Park Access (Allows access to Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay on different days)

Choose the best option based on your visit plans.
