Universal Studios Orlando Costume Guidelines

Subject to these Costume Guidelines, guests may wear costumes in Universal’s Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida theme parks on select dates. Please remember, at all times costumes must be family-friendly. If a guest is spotted in a costume that is not deemed permissible, he or she will be asked to remove the costume and change into something more appropriate or exit the park. Universal Orlando will have sole discretion to decide whether an item is permissible. Any item deemed inappropriate will be turned over by the owner to Universal Orlando and may be retrieved at the end of the guest visit at the Universal CityWalk hub.
