Yes! Express Pass is active during Early Park Admission based on Universal’s discretion. We expect Express Pass to operate during EPA during the busy periods like weekends, holidays, Halloween Horror Nights, and the summer.
All guests are let into the park approximately 15 minutes before Early Park Admission. Signage around the entrance areas to the park will direct guests to Early Park Admission to a line. Guests participating in Early Park Admission will show either their hotel room key or their UOAP for admission to EPA, no scans, just a quick flash will work. All remaining day guests are held in the entry area before being allowed into the rest of the park at park opening.
