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.

I'll let you guys go first and let me know just how Kid-ish this Kids Resort is. And if it's worth planning a trip with my nieces & nephews if, at 6ft, I can actually ride stuff.

I'm 6'3" and barely fit on most things at Epic. But don't forget, Universal expects parents to ride with their kids!

See yall opening day

Hope everyone has fun! Not sure when we'll get around to visiting. I drove by on my way out of town yesterday and it looked like a lot of progress has been made in the past few weeks, especially on landscaping. Maybe in a couple of years we'll get back to it.

Not surprised on the Tue/Wed closures. I'm definitely surprised by the 1/19 - 2/10 closure. Is Peppa Pig theme park the same way? I've never truly looked. Obviously the weathe during that time is usually pretty frigid so completely understandable.

Anyone else excited for the merch info? I’m loving all the Bumpy stuff, new headwear, and shoulder pals
