UOAP Discount Store Moves to Custom Gear at Universal Orlando

Universal Orlando Annual Passholders, your favorite bargain shop just got a major upgrade. The UOAP and Team Member discount store has moved into Custom Gear at Universal Studios Florida, and the new space is bigger with a much larger selection of discounted merchandise.

Custom Gear used to be the exit gift shop for Fast & Furious: Supercharged, which closed permanently last month. Instead of sitting empty, the shop now serves as the exclusive discount store for passholders and Team Members.

That also means the old location is done. The Brown Derby Shop in the Hollywood area has closed, and Universal hasn’t said what comes next for that space.

If you hold a Universal Orlando Annual Pass, this is one of those small changes that affects nearly every park day. Here’s what moved, who can shop, what you’ll find inside, and how to make the most of it.

Quick Summary

• What: Universal Orlando’s UOAP and Team Member discount merchandise store has relocated
• New location: Custom Gear at Universal Studios Florida, the former Fast & Furious: Supercharged exit gift shop
• Who can shop: Universal Orlando Annual Passholders and Team Members only
• What’s better: More space and a much larger selection of discounted merchandise
• Old location: The Brown Derby Shop in the Hollywood area has closed
• What’s next for Brown Derby: Universal has not announced plans for the former shop

Where Is the New UOAP Discount Store at Universal Orlando?

The new UOAP discount store is inside Custom Gear, the shop that sat at the exit of Fast & Furious: Supercharged in the San Francisco area of Universal Studios Florida.

Supercharged closed permanently in August 2026, which left its exit shop without a ride feeding guests into it. Moving the passholder store into that space gives Universal a practical use for a shop that would otherwise sit quiet while the area waits for its next chapter. If you’re curious about that, we covered what could replace Fast & Furious Supercharged.

Look for the “UOAP & TM Exclusive” signage out front. It’s easy to walk past if you’re not looking for it.

Who Can Shop at the Custom Gear Discount Store?

This store is exclusive to Universal Orlando Annual Passholders and Team Members. Regular day ticket holders can’t shop the discounted merchandise here.

Plan on having your annual pass handy when you check out. It’s the fastest way to avoid any confusion at the register.

If you’re not a passholder, this is one more small perk worth weighing if you visit Universal Orlando more than once or twice a year. Passholders already get merchandise discounts at many regular shops across the resort, with the amount depending on pass level. This store is a separate, dedicated spot for discounted items.

What You’ll Find Inside

The biggest change is size. Universal says the new location offers more space for guests to shop and a much larger selection of discounted merchandise than the old Brown Derby Shop.

From photos of the new store, here’s what the shelves look like:

• Apparel walls stocked with Universal Orlando shirts and tops
• Center tables and displays loaded with souvenirs and accessories
• Drinkware and novelty items grouped on lower shelves
• Percent-off signage on some displays, including a sign reading 30% off

Discount stores like this tend to carry older designs, overstock and seasonal leftovers. That means the selection changes often. What you see on one visit might be gone the next, and new items can show up with no warning.

Why the Brown Derby Shop Closed

With the Custom Gear location now open, the Brown Derby Shop in the Hollywood area of Universal Studios Florida has closed. That was the previous home of the UOAP and Team Member discount store.

Universal has not yet announced plans for the former Brown Derby location. It’s a cute, highly visible building with its dome shape and striped awning, so it’s hard to imagine it staying empty for long. For now, treat any rumors about its future as unconfirmed.

Tips for Shopping the UOAP Discount Store

Here’s how I’d approach it as a passholder.

• Stop by early in your visit. The best items in a discount store go first, and selection changes often.
• Check back on repeat visits. Since stock rotates, a quick lap every few trips can turn up new finds.
• Don’t carry bags all day. Shop near the end of your day, or use package pickup if it’s available, so you’re not hauling bags onto rides.
• Compare before you buy. Some regular park shops may have the same item at your standard passholder discount, so check the price tag.
• Stack your trip with other perks. Passholder Appreciation Days 2026 runs through September 30, so this is a great month to plan a passholder-focused visit.

What This Means for Passholders

For Universal Orlando Annual Passholders, this is a clear win. The discount store is bigger, carries more merchandise and sits in a spot that was already built as a retail space.

It also shows Universal making smart use of the Fast & Furious: Supercharged footprint while the building waits for its future. That’s good news for anyone who worried the area would feel dead for months.

The only question mark is the Brown Derby Shop. Keep an eye on that building, because Universal rarely leaves a spot in a main walkway quiet for long.

The Bottom Line

The UOAP discount store at Universal Orlando has moved from the Brown Derby Shop to Custom Gear at Universal Studios Florida, the former Fast & Furious: Supercharged exit gift shop. It’s open to Universal Orlando Annual Passholders and Team Members, and the new location offers more space and a much larger selection of discounted merchandise.

The Brown Derby Shop has closed, and Universal hasn’t announced what comes next there.

If you’re a passholder, make Custom Gear part of your next park day. Stop by early, check the percent-off tables, and come back often, because the stock will keep changing.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
