Universal Orlando Gives Passholders Just 2 Nights to Claim New Exclusive

Universal Orlando is kicking off its 2026 Passholder Appreciation Days with a new collectible, but getting one isn’t as simple as showing your Annual Pass.

A brand-new Universal Orlando Annual Passholder magnet has arrived, this time themed to Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. The attraction has inspired passholder merchandise before, but this latest design comes with a very limited distribution window.

Universal is only handing out the magnet during Universal Orlando Passholder Nights on August 15 and 16.

There’s just one problem: those events are already completely booked.

Universal Debuts a New Revenge of the Mummy Magnet

The new magnet gives one of Universal Studios Florida’s longtime attractions the spotlight.

Its design uses an ancient Egyptian theme, with a brown background resembling a wall covered in hieroglyphics. The large gold UOAP lettering takes up much of the magnet, while “Passholder” appears underneath.

One of the coolest touches is the scarab beetle incorporated directly into the UOAP logo. The metallic blue-and-gold scarab replaces the “O,” helping tie the entire design back to Revenge of the Mummy.

For Annual Passholders who enjoy collecting Universal’s magnets, it certainly looks like one worth grabbing.

Actually getting it may be another story.

You’ll Need a Passholder Nights Reservation

Rather than distributing the magnet throughout Passholder Appreciation Days, Universal has limited it to Passholder Nights.

Those special events take place August 15 and 16 at Universal Studios Florida. They run from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m. and include access to select attractions and entertainment, character appearances, and a DJ dance party.

Passholder Nights aren’t regular operating evenings, either.

Universal required Annual Passholders to make advance reservations to attend. Both nights have now reached capacity, meaning passholders who didn’t already reserve their spots can’t simply decide to attend now.

That’s what makes the new magnet particularly interesting.

Universal Orlando Annual Passholders technically have a new exclusive collectible available, but only those who already secured access to one of these two events can get it under the announced distribution plan.

Visiting Universal Studios Florida during regular hours won’t be enough.

Passholder Appreciation Days Last Much Longer

The timing could also create some confusion because Passholder Appreciation Days last considerably longer than the magnet giveaway.

Universal Orlando’s 2026 Passholder Appreciation Days run from August 15 through September 30. The celebration includes special discounts, exclusive food and merchandise, and additional limited-time benefits.

So, passholders have weeks to enjoy many of those offerings.

The Revenge of the Mummy magnet is different.

Its announced distribution is limited to August 15 and 16 during Passholder Nights. Unless Universal changes those plans or announces another opportunity later, passholders shouldn’t expect to find the magnet waiting for them throughout the rest of Appreciation Days.

Revenge of the Mummy Has Done This Before

This isn’t the first time Universal has turned Revenge of the Mummy into a passholder magnet.

Another version debuted in 2022, although it had a very different look. That magnet used a blue background, white UOAP lettering, and another scarab incorporated into the logo.

The 2026 version goes much heavier on the attraction’s Egyptian imagery with its gold lettering, brown background, and stone-inspired appearance.

That could make it a fun companion piece for anyone who still has the older version.

Unfortunately, this new magnet may also be considerably harder for some passholders to add to their collection.

With only two nights of announced distribution and reservations already filled, the opportunity to grab one is extremely limited.

If you’re already registered for Passholder Nights, there’s another exclusive perk waiting for you at Universal Studios Florida.

If you’re not, having an Annual Pass alone won’t get you this particular freebie.
