Does anyone know when Universal starts allowing booking of tickets/hotels/packages for the following year (specifically, Jan 2026)?

Planning for Jan 2026 and I want to jump on it as soon as it becomes available!

Same here! I'm at Disney for 2 weeks and want to check out EU and possibly UO/IoA. I've never been but am local to USH so I am more concerned with checking out EU, it looks amazing from what I've seen!

I don’t know when packages are available, but I have booked my hotel for April 2026. I can then just add length of stay tickets, or if a discounted package becomes available later, will switch to that. It was important for us to lock in the hotel as we’re meeting up with family from England.

Came here to ask about tickets. Already have a hotel booked for a trip in mid January.

I booked an AP rate for RPR in March for April 2026.

Checking today, park tickets seem available only through December of this year. Planning to monitor and purchase tickets when available for our dates to avoid a possible price increase. Far as I can determine Uni last raised ticket prices in November 2023. I think surge pricing has helped them avoid annual price increases.

I’m also waiting to purchase tickets for January. I booked an incredible rate for Helios, so I will be renewing my AP in December. I will also need to purchase tickets for my husband who is not an AP holder.

Did you purchase a package or individually? When I try to purchase park tickets I can’t get anything past December 2025. I reserved my hotel room back in January.

I just did a chat with a TM and was told that tickets for 2026 should be available “soon”. Not super helpful for those of us who are early planners.

I called VIP Tour services to see about a tour and they weren't available yet either. I asked if they had an estimate on when general tickets and tours would be available and they did mention by September.

Universal needs to step up their game. I can buy WDW tickets through October of 2026.

Waiting to buy a 1 day Epic ticket for February. I will be getting a new AP in December but will probably buy Epic as soon as it's available. Would love it if they somehow incorporated it into the APs. Guessing the ticket structure, with potential for some sort of multiday passes, is what the holdup is.

My AP expires December 18. I need to renew it so I can keep the incredible rate I got for Helios in January. I hope by then there will be an AP that includes Epic. I am also going to need to buy tickets for my husband who is not an AP holder. I would like to know the costs now so I can start budgeting.

It would be nice! I am a long range planner also, have Helios for 3 nights in Dec bought when they first opened up reservations at a great SMSM rate, plus 1 night at RPR and 1 night at CBBR at AP rate, and 3 nights in Feb at Aventura, also AP. My last AP expired in November, so I will be buying a new one but won't activate it until December.

I've been trying to book for May too, but for some reason I can't seem to get to that month! It's very frustrating. Any tips to help would be appreciated. Thanks

Are you trying to book a package or individual tickets? I just need park tickets and can't purchase anything past 12/31.

Hi Charade: I'm trying to book a room and then tickets. I can't get into the dates I want for some reason. I've never had that happen before. I could always go to the month and get the dates I want without a problem. I'm just hoping it's a glitch.

 

[Charade67]

Right now they have packages (hotel plus tickets) available for 2026 but not just the tickets. I've has a room booked since January, but can't get the park tickets yet.
