This is my trip report regarding our experience going to Epic and visiting during the Christmas season. We spent from Dec 7 to 11.

We arrived Sunday the weather was lousy so we had an inexpensive dinner at Bayliner diner. We went over to the studios and went to the tribute store. We also went and updated my sisters disability pass. Shout out to to the Team members who were assisting us in understanding and making sure it was coming up in the app. Next day Epic

We used our early admission to walk to the ministry of magic ride. It did not have it open until the park officially opened. We walked briskly and waited for an hour and a half. The area is so well themed. As is the ministry incredible. There was a slight delay but it did open.. Well worth the wait. Great ride and for those who cannot do stairs the elevators were well trained they escorted us and made sure we were loaded unto the ride vehicle. We spent the rest walking around the wizarding world. We went to the Le Circus arcanu. It felt so magical. We ended up at le Gobelet Noir. We had the jagersnitzel and split it. Delicious. If you like German you should like this and it was less crowded and

Very quiet. We ended up going back for drinks and quiet. I got my dose of pumpkin juice. We walked through the stores and caught the tale end of the jazz band. We then went to Nintendo land and did the yoshe ride. I thought it was cute but not worth more than a twenty minute wait. Nintendo area is huge but it looked a little worn. We went to explore Berk and ended up on Fire Drill. We had ponchos due to the overcast skies so we put on our ponchos and rode it. It was a lot of fun. At one point my sister hit the wrong target and I got hit with water to the face. Still it was so much fun. We went back to hotel for a break. We came back that evening. And Boy are we glad we did. The park was quiet. We were able to walk on Hiccop Wing gliders.

We were in the front and boy we were slightly terrified. When it really hit speed the second time I hate to say I closed my eyes. I got accused of describing it as a family friendly coaster. Well that’s how the some vloggers described it. We were able to go do Bowsers ride and that was so much fun. It was so uncrowded in the park. We were able to get on rides quickly and got to explore areas with little crowds. I love the Donkey Kong Section. I love the use of water the the tropical vibes. We then went back the Wizarding world and there was hardly anyone there either. We essentially walked on the ministry of magic and rode it again.. I found a bench and we just listened to the music. It is amazing the amount of details on the buildings and I did not want to leave,

But we did and went back to the hotel. I will post our second epic day and my thoughts about the new park in my next post. My advice is if you have an overcast day come back the park in the evening you might have luck.
