Those staying at a Universal Orlando Resort hotel will have early theme park access before the scheduled June 5th reopening date.

Most Universal Orlando Resort hotels are reopening on Tuesday, June 2nd. The hotels include: Hard Rock Hotel, Loews Royal Pacific, Loews Sapphire Falls, Universal’s Cabana Bay Beach, Universal’s Aventura Hotel and Universal’s new Surfside Inn. Not opening right away are Loews Portofino Bay and Universal’s new Dockside Inn.

Universal reopens all three of its theme parks to the public—including the Volcano Bay water park—on June 5. However, guests staying on property will have access a couple of days earlier. Annual Passholders and Team Members may also visit the theme parks prior to reopening. Of course, a valid theme park ticket or annual pass is required.

Universal hotel guests are required to have face masks when moving through public areas, including the hotel lobby. Social distancing measures including queue markers and contactless payments are available resort wide. Furthermore, some experiences including live shows and dining may not be available until later.

Walt Disney World won’t reopen its theme parks until mid-July. In many ways, Universal acts as the test subject for large theme park resort. As guests currently have access to the resort’s CityWalk shopping and dining area, we expect tweaks along the way.
