Universal Kids Resort - Frisco, Texas

[Diservations]

We were able to buy a ticket at Universal Hollywood and then upgrade to a pass that was blocked out that day recently. If it doesn’t work out, not the end of the world anyway.

I talked to a few people who know more about Universal AP programs than I do. Their thinking is that Universal may be more willing to do ticket-to-pass upgrades in Orlando and Hollywood because there's a pretty significant price gap between a day ticket and an Annual Pass. Universal Kids Resort's passes are already relatively inexpensive, so that might not happen in Frisco.

I also called and asked a TM. As of right now, there doesn't appear to be anything in the system that would allow a ticket to be upgraded to an Annual Pass. That could always change. UKR is a brand new thing.

Out of town on other side of the world so just waking up to this awesome news.

Interesting thing of note:

The Universal Kids Resort Theme Park operates seasonally and will close to all guests on the following dates:

• Nov 2026: 3–4, 10–11, 17–18, 26
• Dec 2026: 25
• Jan 2027: 5–8, 11–15, 19–31
• Feb 2027: 1-10, 16-19, 22-26
• Mar 2027: 1, 2, 3, 9

So it will be seasonal from the start.

McReynolds shared that this was probably going to be the way they operated back in 2023. I'm pleasantly surprised that the closure isn't longer in January and February, especially after our brutal ice storm this year. While I'd love riding Cretaceous Coaster in 30-degree temps, I doubt many kids will want to join me.
