EPA tomorrow, staying on property. maybe I’ll be able to rope drop but im just hoping to get there by 9 honestly. My priority is probably BatM, but we have no way of knowing when it will open right? So I’m not sure where to head to first.
I could also do single rider for anything but I also heard sometimes that isn’t even worth it as you miss some cool stuff in standby. TIA for any advice!
I was hanging out in Epic Paris near Bar Moonshine and I heard voices speaking French, from a speaker. I looked up at the windows above the sewing machine spell and there are shadows of figures in a couple windows on the top floor. Two wizards were having a duel, and you could hear them saying spells and see their shadows and flashes of light. it lasted about 30 seconds then stopped. It is easiest to see at night. anyone else been able to see those wizard shadows duel? I’m starting to think I dreamed it. I should have gotten a picture but I did not.
Attraction in the video is Animal Treasure Island at Gardaland in Italy
Going November 3rd, ive never been to epic and imagine it is significantly busier than IOA even that time of year? The express passes are just ungodly expensive and our priority will be to get through the high-speed coasters. What do we think? 60 minutes waits are okay, but 100+ not ideal.
The Universal Orlando Resort LinkedIn has shared this image of Captain Cacao and the team who brought him to life.
TRAVELERS, WE HAVE NEVER BEEN SO BACK!
BY POPULAR DEMAND, THE BELOVED BEAR OF THE COSMOS, CAPTAIN CACAO IS FINALLY GETTING A MEET AND GREET!!!
But I hope the other Celestians become walkaround characters as well, cause what's Captain Cacao without Maya?
Nevertheless, I'M SO GLAD THAT UNIVERSAL FINALLY LISTENED!
I guess getting loud does solve your problems after all.
I do wonder why they went with Paris over London though
I just discovered this story on the Universal Orlando Team Members’ Instagram account.
And it looks like the Your Park After Dark event will be the beginning of the 1-year anniversary celebration for Epic Universe!
Who knows what the team members will expect tomorrow night?
Who knows what us travelers will expect this Friday?!
Just saw someone post their film photos the other day so I thought I’d chip in. Missing me some dragon splash 😭 (shot with a7iii + viltrox 28mm + user film emulation)
I decorated my gradcap with an Ygor + Dark Universe theme! Figured I'd show it here. I am excited to wear it to Epic and show Ygor!
The lightning represents the blue energy
The silver crystal buttons and black bg represents Dr. Victoria's trenchcoat
The bats represent Dracula of course!
We weren't allowed to have harsh 3D elements, so I had to improvise.

Hey everyone! I'm currently at Epic Universe in the Ministry of Magic land and I'm trying to complete the Universal Play adventure called "Visionary" (description: "Unfog the Future").
I've already done the Revelio spell at Bar Moonshine where the Demiguise appears, which I think is related — but the adventure still shows as incomplete.
Has anyone managed to complete this one? Is there a specific wand movement, a second spell to cast, or a different location entirely?
Any help appreciated, I'm still in the park right now! 🪄
Hey everyone! I’m planning a trip to Epic Universe this week with my family. We can go either Wednesday (May 20) or Thursday (May 21), and we won’t be getting Express Passes.
Based on your experience, would there be a noticeable difference in crowd levels between those two days? My main goal is to minimize wait times. Some online forums suggest Wednesdays are busier, but I’m not sure if the upcoming long weekend shifts that dynamic.
Furthermore, based on previous threads, wait times this past week, and considering I won’t have early park access or express entry, this is the order I want to do the rides in:
Fyre Drill
Wing Gliders
Untrainable dragon show
Dark Universe
All the rides in Nintendo World or Harry Potter based on wait times
The other world
Arcanus show
Stardust racers
Will fit in having lunch and drinks based on wait times and how the day goes. I am not interested in doing any other rides apart from what I listed above. The rides in Nintendo World and HP World are the most important to us as a family that we wouldn’t want to miss. But given that people with EPA would have lined up early for it, I want to get to them a little late. Is this a good strategy? Appreciate any insights!
We are headed to Universal in June and one of my party members would like the Yoshi power-up band for Epic Nintendo World activities. Normally I'm a shop ahead and come prepared person, but I've been stalking the shopuniversal site for a few months and Yoshi seems to be sold out there with no hope of return. Before I make a grave mistake and order elsewhere and end up paying a ridiculous fee for a potentially faulty/unuseable knockoff product, are Yoshi bands available in Epic or City Walk? If so do they seem fairly easy to obtain or is it more of a rarity to see it in the shops?
Space Mountain got a little too jarring for us. What rides are the most jarring at Universal epic that we should avoid?
We're coming up on the 1 yea anniversary of the park opening! Just curious if anyone thinks there will be any special announcements or celebrations on that day. Maybe an official confirmation of what expansions/rides are coming in the new year? An official release of a full soundtrack? What ideas or wishes do you have?
Heading to Orlando for a conference in mid June. A coworker and I plan to visit epic and want to visit as much of the park as possible. Could we accomplish epic in one day (Friday) with express passes while also catching an early evening flight around 8pm? Would it be better to go Wednesday evening (5/9) and Friday without express passes?
If we get express passes, do we still get the same experience for the ministry of magic ride, etc?
