A New Universal Orlando Passholder Giveaway Starts the Day Another One Ends

Universal Orlando Annual Passholders have another collectible coming their way just as Halloween season reaches one of its busiest months.

Beginning October 1, 2026, eligible Passholders can pick up a new complimentary UOAP magnet inspired by Halloween Horror Nights. Instead of going with a basic Halloween design, Universal is bringing two familiar faces together: Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow.

The good news is that you don’t have to attend Halloween Horror Nights to get it.

Jack and Dr. Oddfellow Take Over the New Magnet

Universal’s latest Passholder magnet has a design that fits right into spooky season.

The magnet features “UOAP Passholder” lettering covered with blood splatters and surrounded by red curtains. Look more closely at the “O” in UOAP, and you’ll find a split image featuring Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow.

It’s a much more Halloween Horror Nights-specific design than simply adding pumpkins or other general Halloween imagery.

For longtime fans of the event, that could make this magnet particularly appealing. Jack remains one of the most recognizable characters connected to Halloween Horror Nights, while Dr. Oddfellow has become another familiar face for fans.

Putting both on the same Passholder collectible gives the October giveaway a clear connection to Universal Orlando’s Halloween event.

Here’s Where Passholders Can Get It

Universal will begin distributing the magnet on October 1 at two different locations.

Passholders visiting Universal Islands of Adventure can head to the UOAP Lounge between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

There is also a pickup location inside Universal Studios Florida. The Tonight Shop will distribute magnets from park opening through park close.

The second location gives guests a much larger window to grab one. If you’re planning to visit the UOAP Lounge instead, you’ll want to keep its shorter operating hours in mind when planning your day.

Having two locations also means Passholders won’t necessarily need to structure their entire visit around getting the magnet.

Halloween Horror Nights Admission Isn’t Required

Despite the magnet’s strong Halloween Horror Nights theme, Universal isn’t requiring Passholders to attend the event to collect one.

That’s an important distinction.

Halloween Horror Nights requires separate admission and takes place at Universal Studios Florida on select nights. The new Passholder giveaway, however, can be picked up without attending HHN.

That means someone visiting Universal Orlando for a normal park day can still add the Jack and Dr. Oddfellow magnet to their collection.

It’s especially convenient for Passholders who enjoy Universal’s Halloween atmosphere but don’t necessarily want to attend the nighttime event.

One Passholder Giveaway Ends as Another Begins

Universal has also timed the release to begin immediately after another Passholder offering ends.

Passholder Appreciation Days continue through September 30, and Passholders can currently pick up a special wristlet keychain.

Once September ends, attention shifts to the new magnet.

The Jack and Dr. Oddfellow magnet becomes available the very next day on October 1.

Universal also has UOAP-exclusive Halloween Horror Nights merchandise available for Passholders looking for additional seasonal items.

October 1 Is the Date to Remember

For UOAP members who enjoy collecting the complimentary magnets Universal releases throughout the year, this one could be especially popular.

It combines the familiar UOAP branding with two Halloween Horror Nights characters and arrives right as Universal Orlando moves deeper into Halloween season.

Just remember the two pickup options.

Starting October 1, visit the UOAP Lounge at Universal Islands of Adventure from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. or The Tonight Shop at Universal Studios Florida from park opening through close.

And you don’t need to spend your night running from monsters to get one.
