This Universal Orlando Park is Going Cashless - What You NEED To Know

One Universal Orlando Resort park is going cashless. Find out what you need to know for when this park becomes cashless.

Volcano Bay

Universal's Volcano Bay at Universal Orlando is quite possibly one of the BEST water parks there is. It is an exciting tropical paradise right in the heart of Orlando.

This fantastic water park offers both thrill rides and chill experiences. And, there is plenty of great dining so that you can refuel during your visit.

Whether you are sliding down a massive slide, floating along a lazy river, or relaxing in a lounge chair, it is most assuredly a GREAT way to spend any day alternating between playing and relaxing.

Big Changes Coming!

Universal Volcano Bay will become a fully cashless park later this month! This means that all purchases that happen within the park will be accepted exclusively through debit cards, credit cards, Universal Gift Cards, Universal Pay, and other tap-to-pay methods.

Volcano Bay will become completely cashless beginning February 25, 2026.

This change will take effect on February 25, 2026.

What Happens if You Have Cash?

If you show up to the park without any form of cashless payment, no need to worry. Guests who have cash can use a cash-to-card kiosk to loads funds onto a Visa prepaid card. This prepaid card works inside the park, but also anywhere Visa is accepted.

Guests with cash are instructed to use the cash-to-card kiosks to load funds onto a Visa prepaid card that can be used inside the park.

At this time, Guests can still use cash as payment at Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Universal Epic Universe.
