Universal Studios Garage Sale
Okay, maybe it’s just us but we get very excited about sales. Especially in theme parks because there are rarely any! Let’s get into it – what is the Universal Studios garage sale? The garage sale offers heavily discounted merchandise from the parks and typically is held in November. It offers seasonal and overstock items but you can find some great Harry Potter merchandise, plushies, bubble wands, shirts, spirit jerseys for $10(!!!) and more!

Universal Annual Passholder Benefits
If you are a Universal Orlando Annual Passholder, you will get some GREAT benefits here. Typically, Universal has a Annual Passholder and Team Member EXCLUSIVE garage sale during the year as well. This sale happened in September 2023 a few months before the sale that was open to the public in November 2023.
The Universal Passholder garage sale was held in stage 33 and can only be accessed through Universal Studios Florida (next to the New York Tribute store). This is a huge perk of being a passholder (if you can attend the event) because you get an additional chance to save big on Universal Park merchandise.
Additional perks include passholder early access to the universal annual garage sale! In November, the first day of the sale is held exclusively for passholders!
