Express pass Epic question

Question

Hello I had a question on the use of express pass. I have them purchased and linked to my universal app account which includes my kids. We are also staying at Royal Pacific while we visit the parks. Will the room key work as the epic express pass for the day of visit since it's linked to the account along with our admission tickets the way it works while in universal studios and Islands of adventure? Thanks

Answer

If you are staying at Loews Royal Pacific Resort and have purchased Universal’s Epic Express Pass linked to your Universal app account, it’s important to understand how the room key interacts with your passes. Universal allows certain hotel guests to use their room key as a park ticket and as part of some hotel benefits, but the Epic Express Pass generally works a little differently.

The Epic Express Pass must be linked to each guest’s admission ticket in the Universal app or physical ticket. While staying at Royal Pacific, your room key functions as your park ticket if your stay includes theme park admission, but it does not automatically act as the Epic Express Pass. You need to ensure the Epic Express Pass is properly linked to the admission tickets of each member of your party, including children.

In practice, this means:

Your room key can be used to enter Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure if you have park admission included with your stay.
The Epic Express Pass benefits (skip-the-line access) are activated and recognized when you present the linked admission ticket or scan through the Universal app where the pass is attached.
Having the Epic Express Pass linked in the app ensures that each guest’s ticket is recognized, but the room key itself does not replace the express pass—it serves primarily as your park admission credential and hotel key.

Additional tips for using Epic Express Pass with your Royal Pacific stay:

Ensure each family member’s ticket is linked to the Epic Express Pass in the Universal app before entering the parks.
If you have connected your hotel stay to the Universal app, the app should display all linked passes and tickets for quick reference at ride entrances.
Carry your app with the linked passes and tickets, and your room key separately for hotel access and park admission verification if needed.

In summary, while your Royal Pacific room key will work for park entry, it does not automatically function as an Epic Express Pass. The express pass benefit is recognized through the linked admission tickets in your app or printed tickets, so make sure everything is properly linked before your visit for smooth skip-the-line access.
