The Universal Orlando Resort has released their offers for the US Military Community for 2020.
NOTE: The 2021 Offer is Out!!!
During the 12 years that I’ve been running this site, Universal has always been very slow to make and announce special military offers, always announcing at the last minute or past when the offer started!
They would traditionally announce the new year’s offer well into January (the last two years 2018 & 2019 excluded which happened in Dec).
Updated 29 February 2020
Universal has finally announced a 2020 Special Military Ticket Discount.
Universal Orlando 2020 Special Highly Discounted Military Tickets
For more than 10 years Universal Orlando has been offering special highly discounted military tickets in addition to their regular slightly discounted military tickets.
These special tickets are part of special discounts and offered for specific dates for a set number of days and options.
Their regular military tickets offer the full range of lengths and options at a lower discount.
Note: Tickets from the 2019 Special ticket offer remain valid through 31 March 2020, although sales of the 2019 tickets have ended.
Here are the 2020 Universal Orlando Special Military Ticket offer details:
The offer consists of a 5-Day Park-to-park ticket good at either 2 or 3 of Universal Orlando’s parks.
Offer Dates: Tickets are available for use on ANY 5 days between date of purchase and December 31, 2020.
Ticket Types:
5-Day Park-to-Park Ticket good at 2 parks – Adult & Child
The 2-Park 5-Day Park-to-Park Military Promotional Ticket entitles one (1) guest admission to the following Universal Orlando Resort theme parks each day: Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
5-Day Park-to-Park Ticket good at all 3 parks- Adult & Child
The 3-Park 5-Day Park-to-Park Military Promotional Ticket entitles one (1) guest admission to the following Universal Orlando Resort theme parks each day: Universal Studios Florida, Universal’s Islands of Adventure, AND Universal’s Volcano Bay Water Theme Park.
Ticket Prices:
- 5 Day 2 Park ticket – $221.00 Adult / $216.00 Child (3-9 yrs.)
- 5 Day 3 Park ticket – $264.00 Adult / $259.00 Child (3-9 yrs.)
These are Universal’s initial prices, local bases may vary slightly.
These tickets are only available at Base Ticket Offices (Including Shades of Green), not at Universal’s gates!
Note! These are a specially priced offer and are much cheaper per day than the regular Military Universal tickets. Compare prices! These may be cheaper than shorter options.
Shades of Green Regular Universal Military Prices (Base Ticket Offices very similar if not the same)
Those Eligible are:
- Active or Retired US Military -Active Duty, National Guard, Reservists, US Coast Guard
- Spouses of Eligible Service Members

These tickets are priced extremely low, therefore they are a fantastic opportunity for Military personnel to visit both Universal Orlando’s original theme parks (Universal Studios Florida & Universal’s Islands of Adventure) as well as take advantage of experiencing Volcano Bay Water Theme Park!

Kent Ava says
What’s my best ticket options for two days at the park?
Steve says
Hi Kent,
On the regular military ticket side the 2-Park, 2-Day Base is $219.00 adult, $209.00 child, while the 2-Park, 2-Day Park to Park is $258.50/$249.25
While the special all year passes in this post are: $221.00/$216.00. I’d go with these passes in case you have the ability to go more that 2 days this year…
