Theme Park Scope

Today’s the day! If you’ve been waiting for another chance to experience Epic Universe after hours, don’t wait much longer.

Tickets for the second announced Orlando Informer Meetup featuring Universal Epic Universe officially go on sale today, and if previous events are any indication, you’ll want to be ready the moment the virtual queue opens. Here’s everything you need to know before joining the line — including ticket prices, how the queue works, payment options, and when you’ll be able to book discounted hotel rooms.

If you’re hoping to attend one of the most anticipated Universal Orlando events of 2026, today is your chance.

Tickets for the December Orlando Informer Meetup officially go on sale today at 10 AM ET, giving guests another opportunity to experience Universal Epic Universe after hours alongside exclusive access to Universal’s other theme parks.

This newly announced meetup includes three nights of private event access:

• Wednesday, December 16: Universal Epic Universe
• Thursday, December 17: Universal Islands of Adventure
• Friday, December 18: Universal Studios Florida

Here’s How the Virtual Queue Works

The online queue opens at 10 AM ET.

If you’re already on the ticket page when the queue opens, you’ll be randomly assigned a place in line. Guests who arrive after 10 AM. will be added to the end of the queue.

Once you’re in line, do not refresh the page or hit your browser’s back button, as doing so could cause you to lose your place in the queue.

When it’s your turn, you’ll automatically be redirected to the Orlando Informer Meetup website to complete your purchase.

Keep in mind that joining the queue does not guarantee you’ll be able to purchase tickets, as availability is extremely limited.

Ticket Price and Payment Options

The December Three-Night Orlando Informer Meetup ticket costs: $691.35 (processing fee included), plus applicable tax.

Accepted payment methods include:

• All major credit cards
• All major debit cards
• Apple Pay
• Affirm financing

When Will You Receive Your Tickets?

Physical event credentials will be distributed during event check-in on the day of your Meetup.

To make arrival easier, your Universal park tickets will be emailed digitally approximately two weeks before your selected event date, along with complete arrival instructions.

If you’ve placed multiple orders using the same email address, Orlando Informer notes they’ll automatically be combined before your arrival.

Don’t Forget About Discounted Hotels

One of the biggest perks of attending an Orlando Informer Meetup is access to discounted Universal Orlando hotel rates.

Once you’ve successfully purchased your tickets, you’ll be able to immediately reserve discounted hotel rooms (while inventory lasts). The booking link will be included in your confirmation email and can also be accessed through your Orlando Informer account.

Just remember: purchasing tickets, or even entering the virtual queue, does not guarantee hotel availability, so it’s a good idea to book your room as soon as possible after securing your event tickets.
