Universal Orlando 2021 Special Highly Discounted Military Tickets

Updated 11 Jan 2021 -For clarity
Updated 24 Dec 2020 -Big News on these Tickets!

For more than 11 years Universal Orlando has been offering special highly discounted military tickets in addition to their regular slightly discounted military tickets.

These special military tickets are usually offered for specific dates, for set ticket lengths and options.

Normally their regular military tickets offer the full range of lengths and options at a lower discount.

Here are the 2021 Universal Orlando Special Military Ticket/Pass offer details:

For 2021 Universal is calling their Special Military Tickets – Freedom Passes.

Did you note they are calling them passes this year and not tickets? That’s because this year they are like a Universal Annual Pass (without the other benefits Universal adds to those, like parking).

These Passes are mind blowing!

Offer Dates:

The 2-Park Freedom Pass is valid for use every single day between 1 January and 31 December 2021

The 3-Park Freedom Pass is valid for use every single day between 1 March and 31 December 2021

There are no Blackout Dates!

Pass Types:

2 Park, Park-to-Park Freedom Pass – Both Adult & Child Versions

The 2-Park, Park-to-Park Military Promotional Pass entitles 1 eligible person admission to the following Universal Orlando Resort theme parks each day: Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

3 Park, Park-to-Park Freedom Pass – Both Adult & Child Versions

The 3-Park, Park-to-Park Military Promotional Pass entitles 1 eligible person 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.

Pass Prices:

2 Park Freedom Pass – $200 Adult/$195 Child – For the whole year!
3 Park Freedom Pass – $235 Adult/$230 Child – For the whole year!

These are Universal’s initial prices, local base’s prices may vary slightly.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about these passes on Facebook when I’ve shared this post. So in a effort to be absolutely clear:

These Freedom Passes are like an annual pass, without the other benefits that usually go with an AP, like free parking and discounts.

You only pay the price once, not every visit or every so often.

The pass is good for admission every single day after you purchase it. There is no limit.

The 2-Park pass is valid for the two theme parks. The 3-Park is valid for the two theme parks and the water park (once it opens for the season).

These Freedom Pass are only available Through your Travel agent as part of a package and at Base Ticket Offices (Including Shades of Green). They are not at Universal’s gates!

As this has just come out there could be delay in your local Base Ticket Office knowing about the offer or being able to get these tickets!

Note! These are a specially priced offer and are much cheaper per day than the Regular Military Universal Tickets. Compare prices! It might be cheaper to buy these for a shorter stay than shorter Regular Tickets..

Shades of Green Regular Universal Military Prices (Base Ticket Offices prices very similar if not the same)

Those Eligible for This Offer Are:

Active or Retired US Military -Active Duty, National Guard, Reservists, US Coast Guard (with valid military ID!)
Spouses of Eligible Service Members

Note, both the member and spouse have their own eligibility.

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!

DOD Civilian Employees
Non-Retirees e.g. DD-214 or VA Card
