Epic Universe VIP experience info

[nevertoo muchdisney]

So, I splurged and booked the VIP experience for Epic. I have done the two-park VIP twice. But, I called and found out some more info -- in case anyone wanted to know. Or, if anyone else knows other info, please share!
* Just like other VIP tours, the price depends on date of tour and how busy the parks will be. This is a four-hour tour (so, like the one-park tours, but those were not as popular in the past and I have not done one). No breakfast and lunch offering. For now, the tour is starting at 9 am. The Team Member said to get there 15 minutes early (they told us to be there earlier for the longer two-park tour because breakfast was offered).
* She also said that they average around 8 rides during the tour and they prioiritize Ministry of Magic and Mine Cart Madness since those do not work with Express Pass, but that Dragon Racer's Rally will likely NOT be on the tour because it is "so short."
* You do get Express Pass for the rest of the day (only for one ride each for those rides that DO take express pass).

I know you get some other perks I will likely not use -- like valet parking. A discount on select merch as well, but I have an Premier AP, so not sure if that adds anything to me personally.

You also should know you ALSO have to buy a separate tickets on top of the VIP experience.

I did hear on one youtube on the Dis that during their VIP tours, they missed some of the queue (which I figured). But that Monsters Unchained, the queue is apparently amazing, so hoping with express, can see some of it. The Ministry of Magic queue also looks amazing so hoping we can see some of it at least.

My son and I absolutely LOVED the tours we have done (as I said, two VIP experiences for Universal/IOA and also a Christmas tour -- can't remember what it was called). They do such a fantastic jobs with these, I'm really looking forward to this. Hope other folks will tell us about their experience once they start happening!

Which rides are typically included on the 2 park tours or IOA/USO?

When I did it, neither Hagrid's or VelociCoaster were open... so, I will not be much help, but it was all the headliners with lots of trivia thrown in. And, breakfast and lunch. Now, for EPIC, I hear not a lot of trivia and no food.

Decided we were going to do an epic vip tour in October. Waste of a debate I guess since it looks like they’re totally sold out through most of December. Makes me wonder just what to expect if we go even with just express pass now.

Anyone have better luck calling in vs waiting for cancellations to pop up online?

Someone posted on another site that their non-private VIP tour was cancelled for staffing reasons and the recovery was a full refund, unlimited express pass, and a one-time use express pass for Ministry and Mine Cart.

Honestly praying that happens to me as the main reason I'm doing the VIP tour is for Ministry

That’s a pretty good deal, actually! I wouldn’t be mad.
